RIVERLEA. (From Our Own Correspondent.) The monthly meeting of the school committee was held on the Sth inst., when it was decided to hold a working bee at an early date to plough and level about two acres, so that the children will have a good cricket and football ground. It is to be hoped that when the day is decided on the parents will roll up in full force with their teams and not leave all the work to the mt&ibers of the committee. The school opened this year with an attendance of 7<l and the average for February was 69, which is very satisfactory, as several of the children have over three miles to go.
The annual meeting of the Riverlea Athletic Club was held in the hall on the 7th inst., when there was a large attendance of members. Mr. B. L. Webby was re-elected president, Mr. A. E. Mills being elected hon. secretary in place of Mr.. A. E. Sailer, who resigned owing to pressure of, other duties. The retiring secretary was accorded a vey heaty vote of thanks for the manner he had carried out his duties. The following werfe elected to the executive committee; Messrs. B. L. Webbv, A. E. Sadler, K. Rothe. E. Wills and the secretary. It was decided to hold the sports on April 6, providing the date is acceptable to the centre. It was decided to cut out three of the horse events, namely, open hunters competition, high jump and pony jump, aJid to put on a seven-a-side football tournament in place of the horse events cut out. The sports last year were run at a lo^s —the same complaint, I think, that clubs suffered from last year, so the committee decided to charge Is 6d intsead of Is this year for admittance to the grounds. I am sure it will be Is 6d well spent so I hope the public will roll up in full force, as they will be well catered for in the way of music, enjoyment, etc. A strong committee was appointed to make all arrangements for the dance which will be held in the hall on sports night. One of our local Jersey breeders journeyed to the New Plymouth Show with some heifers, but the quality was not quite what the judge wanted. One of the heifers took Ist prize at Manaia about three weekes ago, so I guess you must have had some first-class stuff at New Plymouth. The milk supply which has kept up remarkably well this year has started to go down fairly fast and the factory is turning out about forty cheese per day against about 56 in the flush. i was pleased to see Mr. H. Johns out for a motor ride on Monday last, he having been in bed for five weekes with an injured knee. I hope it won’t be long before the genial Harry is able to take his milk to the factory again. Mr. E. Wills, factory manager, had the misfortune to have his gig burnt in the Eltham fire the other day.
