CARD TOURNAMENT.

May IS. At the Foresters’ Hall last night, the U.A.O. Druids met the 1.0.0. F., N.Z., in a friendly game of cards.

The following are the scores (Oddfellows being mentioned first): —Cribbage: A. Klee and R. E. Thomas 9 v. B. Green arid B. Rowe 2; R. G. Jamieson and J. W. McKain 5 v. A. Nelson and J. Sharrock 3; C.

Milne and C. P. Theobald 4 v. Haggarty and T. Smith 5. Totals.— Oddfellows 27, Druids 17. Bro. W. Abraham, A.D., welcomed the visitors. He said such gatherings as this helped to strengthen the bonds of fellowship existing between Friendly Societies, and hoped that the evening would be a forerunner to many more such in the future.
