MEETING OF DIRECTORS. TRIBUTE TO LATE MR DANIELL. The attendance of the last monthly meeting of the Board of Directors of the Masterton Y.M.C.A. was somewhat smaller than usual. Mr W. A, Clarke president, occupied the chair. Mr Clarke made reference to the passing of the late Mr C. E. Daniell. His personal memory of Mr Daniell extended over a period of about 50 years. Mr Clarke traced Mr Daniell’s connection with the Y.M.C.A. as president during some of the association’s most difficult years, and always as a keenly interested and loyal supporter. “In the passing of Mr Daniell." said Mr Clarke, “the Y.M.C.A. has lost a very great friend."
