INGLEWOOD.

(From Our Own Correspondent.) May 20. The settlers of the district, of which the Lincoln Road school is a convenient central rendezvous, held a meeting on Thursday, May 12, whereat it was decided to form a cribbage club, with an annual member’s subscription of 2s 6d. Mr. C. H. Owen was elected chairman, and Mr. W. P. Brash secretary, with Messrs. F. P. Elliott, C. E. Miles and W. J. Thomason to make up tire committee. Meetings of the club are to be held weekly at the school on Mondays. It was also decided to join the Inglewood Amalgamated Crib Club Association, and to send a team to represent this club at the next competition. This committee reported to the meetings on May 16, chat Messrs. Brash, Egarr, Elliott, C. E. Miles, VV. H. Miles, Paul, Sander and Thomason, with Messrs. Owen and Winthrop emergencies, had been selected to uphold the honor of Waitpriki, the postal name of the neighberhood, at Inglewood. On Thursday, the 19th, at the Druids' Hall, Inglewood, the Amalgamated Cribbage Club’s Association held their first match for this season. The meetings are to be weekly through the winter months. The match resulted in the following games being won and recorded: Egmont Village Club 24 v. Druids’ Club 20-; Fire Brigade Club 23 v. Bowlers’ Club 19; Foresters’ Club 21 v. Waitoriki 18. This concluded the first round.

The list of New Plymouth High School pupils who had scored in the New Zealand university examinations of November, 1920, published in the Daily News of 18th inst., included the names of the following, who can be claimed as of Inglewood origin or close connection, and to whom Inglewood offers congratulations, viz.: Messrs. Kenneth C. Roberts, Ronald C. Greiner, and Cyril Winfield. Inglewood also congratulates Messrs. T. E. Hamerton and I. P. Grant on being entered as solicitor and barrister respectively, of the Supreme Court of New Zealand.

A beast of a day, small yarding, and meagre attendance on Wednesday Xvere the conditions at Newton King Ltd.’s sale, and, with a depressed market, it could not be expected that any cheering results would be obtained. The sales affected showed that the Jersey strain is still in the ascendant, so far as farmers’ preference is concerned, which fact also goes to show that their faith in the future of dairying- has not failed. Jersey weaner heifers sold for £4, while other weanens made from Ils to 275. Store cows made up to £3 ss, bullocks £3 15s, and lambs from 2s 6d to 7s.
