Lethbridge, and responded to by Messrs C. Day ajid AV. C. Fowler. Mr A. Stuart proposed tlje health of “The Guest,” and spoke of the sterling worth of Air Cochran as manager of their company and as a citizen.

Sicely. A. S. Coleman (A. and P. Association), and A. Way voiced their appreciation of Air Cochran’s services during nis stay of eight years in Alarton. Air Cochran feelingly responded ano gave an interesting sketch of his first visit to Alarton, the growth of the firm, and expressed his conviction that although Alarton would not be one of the big cities of the Dominion he was sure that Rangitikei would always occupy a prominent place on the map, on account of its splendid productive capabilities, and as an educational centre. The mere fact of two prominent schools—Huntley School and Nga Tawa School—being located there would always add to the prestige of Alarton. Hp 'hanked them for the good things that bad been said about him and extended a hearty welcome to all his friends when he had settled down in Timaru. Applause). Air F. Sisson and Air J.

The proceedings terminated with the singing of the National Anthem and the giving of cheers for the guest. “INFATUATION.” Corinne Griffith was never more beautiful than in her latest screen triumph, “Infatuation.’’ No more gr?p--i ping story than “Caesor’s Wife” j (from which the picture is taken) ever j enjoyed success behind the footlight*, j The story comes tp Alarton this (Mon- | da>) evening.
