The members of the local club displayed excellent form. The players present were arranged into teams (eight rinks in all) and represented the President aud Vice-President respectively. In consequence of the rush of entries at the very last moment it has been decided to extend the time for receiving nominations in connection with the Mangatainoka Athletic Society's Boxing Day Sports till Saturday evening- next, at 8 p.m. Messrs W.

As regards the greatest quantity of milk, the Scarborough district is easily first.
