The Forester's banner followed the Band, and the members of the above orders brought up in the rear, They marched to the Recreation Reserve, where the annual Sports were held, About 700 visitors were present durint; the day, over £3O being taken at the tjato. Several" newspaper men" were noticeable dodging about takinp "notes" of the various events, There was a publican's booth and refreshment booth on the ground, which, seemed to bo fairly patronised, but there was an utter absence.of the least rowdyism. The scarcity of seating accommodation caused some serious comment trom the visitors. The events seemed to have been well contested, and fairly won, In the evening, a soireo took place in the Town Hall, under the auspices of the Friendly Societies, at which there was a good attendance; as there was also at the Palaoe Hall Skating Rink.
