PLUNKET DAY. / Stratford, Feb. 28. I The street sale held on Saturday in aid of the Plunket Society’s funds was a decided success, and the satisfactory sum of £3O was realised, which with the amount already in hand, will enable the society to claim the maximum sub< sidy from the Government. As there was no refreshment room, the result oi the day’s operations proved better than was expected, the money being gathered from the sale of produce and flowers and the two weight-guessing competitions. Donations were received during the day as follows: —Mrs. Marfell £l, Mrs. J. B. Hine 10s, Mr. H. Good 10s, knitting by Mrs. Cuthbert 'ds, Mr. Jugo ss, Mrs. Niary ss, and Mrs. Jensen 2s 6d.
