UPPER HUTT MALE VOICE CHOIR This popular choir -will submit their seventh concert at the Mayfair Theatre next Tuesday, June 30, at 8 p.m., as advertised in this issue.

Among- the composers whose works will be presented are Bach, Brahms, Elg-av, including- the part songs, "The Blue Danube" waltz by Strauss, and "Song of the Flea" by Moussorgsky. The choir have been fortunate in obtaining the services of Mrs. Wilfred Andrews, soprano. Miss May Hyams, violinist, and Mr. Edward Glading, baritone. With the assistance of these talented artists the conceit will be a memorable one. Mr. S. W. Josland, Mus. Bach., will conduct and Mrs. L. W. Tomlin will be the pianiste. Reserves may be made at Thompson's railway book stall. SOCCER. The game between the Upper Hutt United Juniors and Anglican Boys' Home was played on Maidstone Park. The local boys are now moulding- into a fine combination. The home players at once carried the play into the visitors' area where they pressed for some time. Hoey, the outside left, scored with a first time drive, soon after the same player adding- a second. The Anglican boys were always triers and their persistency was rewarded -when they scored twice making the score 2 all. B. Hoare receiving the ball at midway beat several of the visitox-s and from fifteen yards scored a beautiful goal. W. Goodwin, who played a good game, scored a nice g-oal, the whistle sounding with the score Upper Hutt United 4, Anglican Boys' Home 2. The local juniors are now playing splendidly and they have a good chance of winning the championship. The game between the local Seniox-s and Stop Out was played at Lower Hutt. United played a man short. Before a g-ood attendance of spectatoi-s United at once made an attack on the Stop Out g-oal and the local Seniors nearly scored on several occasions. It was galling to the United players when Stop Out in a couple of spox-adic raids scored 2 goals against the run of play. Both teams were now playing- a strenuous game and R. Wilkinson distinguished himself. Stop Out scored another- two goals against the run of play. J. Hamilton, junior - , was playing a fine defensive game and stopped many a determined rush by the Stop Out for-wai-ds. K. Bucknell, who played a splendid game, hooked a ball past the Stop Out g-oalkeeper, making- the score at the finish: Stop Out 4, Upper Hutt United 1. We would like to dx-aw the attention of committee members to the club meeting held the first Fx*iday in each month.
