One member was declared on and another off the sick fund of the lodge. A refund of £24 was received from the headquarters for maternity claims paid out.

Friday last was the last day of the game bird shooting this season. Taking the season all round the weather was too mild for good bags to be received. Local shooters during the last ■week were more fortunate in so far as swans were concerned and maximum bags were secured by many. Only a few ducks were obtained. In the early part of the season the lake was low and the birds flew well out of reach. Latterly the waters of the lake rose and the birds made their way to the smaller lagoons. One party of five guns report having secured 72 swans and 14 ducks during the last week. LADIES’ GOLF TROPHY COMPETITION. The Carterton ladies played a flag competition and ■ Mrs Orr’s trophy.
