The Woodville Tennis Club are sending a team to meet a team from the local club on Saturday next. A good game is anticipated. On the following Thursday it has been arranged for a team of players from the Masterton Club to visit Eketahuna and play the local team. Mr H. McAlister, employed at Gardiner's mill, Atea, met with a serious accident yesterday. He was engaged in removing logs with a jack, when one of them slipped and crushed his hand, inflicting a nasty wound. The injured man was attended by Dr. Bartlett of Eketahuna. Bandsman E. McLean, who is severing his connection with the Eketahuna Band, was the recipient, last evening,' of. a handsome case of pipes from his fellow-bandsmen. In making the presentation Mr J. Burfoot spoke in eulogistic terms of the services rendered to the Band by Mr McLean, who is leaving to take up his residence in Invercargill. >
