Easthope, secretary of the ladies' life-saving class, read a short report on the season's work. The report stated that the Examination which was held on March 16th, was a hug# success, the Society gaining 27 awards, which is excellent consider in g that the largest club in Wellington has only seven awards. Misses Evelyn Waddington and Annie O'Leary have secured the Royal Life Saving Society's and Miss Ella O'Leary a proficiency certificate.
