Considerable interest is being taker in the annual school treat and distribntion of prizes, to be held oe Friday, 3rd April. A general reunion takes place on this occasion.

The meeting was unanimously of opinion that this should be adopted in place of the "old pipe," the obsolete Snider, and it was decided to call a general meeting at an early date to settle the, matter. Owing to the heavy downpour of rain on Sunday ana Monday, the Foresters decided to postpone their sports for a day to enable the ground to be got in good order again. Some dissatisfaction has been caused by this announcement, but the matter appears to have been unavoidable. Quite a crowd of visitors are here from Mastertoa and other places.
