KARAKA TENNIS CLUB.

The Karaka Hall was the scene of a very gay evening on Saturday, when the Karaka North Tennis Club farevvelled Mr. and Mrs. L. Hcsking, who are shortly leaving the Karaka district to live in Auckland. Mr. Hosking has for many years taken a very active interest in the tennis club, having been secretary for the last six years, besides being a member of its first team. Mr. and Mrs. Hosking are very much respected right through the Karaka and Papakura districts, and the place is unfortunate in losing them. On behalf of the Karaka North Tennis Club the president (Mr. W. Henry) presented Mr. and Mrs. Hosking with a very handsome silver cake stand, and wished them a very happy life in their new home.
