HOLDING OF TOURNEY OPPOSED,

(“Times-Age” Special.) A meeting of the Greytown Croquet Club was held in the Park Pavilion yesterday afternoon. Mrs H. G. Carter presided, and there was a good attendance of members.

Two resignations were accepted with regret. It was decided to vote against the holding of a Wairarapa croquet tournament.

It was resolved not to take part in the inter-club croquet games. A working bee was arranged for October 6, and the greenkeeper was instructed to have the lawns ready for play by October 17. Patriotic Committee. A meeting of the Greytown Citizens’ Patriotic Committee was held yesterday. Mr A. W. Horton’ presided. Mr Wright and Lt. Budd submitted a proposal whereby a well-known Palmerston North concert party was prepared to give a performance in aid of the patriotic funds. The committee decided to accept the offer and make tentative arrangements for the concert. The offer of a concert by the Upper Hutt Band at Labour week-end, which was suggested by Mr O’Hara Smith, was discussed, but the committee found that it was unable to accept the offer.

Miss M. Wood and Mrs Sinclair Thompson were added to the committee.

An executive committee consisting of Messrs A. W. Horton, S. Shedden, J. F. Thompson and Mesdames A. Johnson. R. Beu, Haigh and Miss Higginson, was appointed to deal with general matters and to assist with the social arrangements. TOWN HALL DOUBLE PROGRAMME.
