INGLEWOOD.

JERSEY CATTLE CLUB. (From Our Own Correspondent.) Feb. 21. A fairly well attended meeting of the above club was held on Saturday, Mr. A. W. Yeates presiding. A communication from the New Zealand Jersey Breeders’ Association, with draft rules for the guidance of branch clubs, received from the council claimed the attention of the meeting, and a good dead of discussion ensued, with the result that the rules drafted by this club in November, 1921, were adopted with the name of “Jersey Cattle Club” instead of “Jersey Breeders’ Club,” to prevent confusion. The paper on “Line Breeding.” which Mr. V. Harkness had hoped to read at this meeting had to be left over to a later date, as Mr. Harkness had been too busy to prepare it to his satisfaction.

It was decided to hold a Jersey field day at Rugby Road in March, and the secretary was instructed to write to Mr. Tapp (New Zealand Jersey Breeders' Association), and Mr. Watson, of Christchurch, to arrange for a demonstration on the day by Mr. Watson, who will, it is understood, be in Taranaki during March, and a committee consisting of Messrs. Hancness, Jones, Meuli, and Rumball was elected to make all necessary arrangements with regard to cattle and refreshments for the day. The club hope to be able to hold the field day on Mr. A. A. Ward’s farm (Miro Meadows), the home of his well-known Miro Meadows herd, which J'as produced some of the champion specimens of the breed.

PROMPTNESS SAVES LIFE

Quite a number of Inglewood people, old and young, took advantage of the glorious weather on Sunday to visit the Everett Road scenic reserve, on tne banks of the Manganui stream, where a particularly suitable picnicking spot is situated. While there a little daughter of Mr. J. Archibald’s, who was paddling at the side of the stream on a sloping bank, inadvertently got out of her depth and was in imminent danger of being drowned, but Mr. C. Lealand, of Inglewood, noticed the little one’s danger and promptly threw off his coat, plunged into the water and brought the child safe to land little the worse for the mishap beyond a wholesome scare. The reserve is one of many beauty spots near Inglewood well worthy of wider •fame than it at present possesses. SPORTS MEETING.

The services of the Eltham Band have been secured for the Inglewood sports meeting on March 2. for which nominations have come in beyond all expectation. All we want is a good old Taranaki autumn fine day and a record will be reached for success.
