The initial meeting of the Auckland branch of the Spilt Ink Club took place on Saturday afternoon at the residence of the Auckland representative, Mrs. F. M. Richmond. "Spilt Ink" is a breezy pamphlet edited by Mr. H. F. Hoggard, Wellington, and issued in the interests of New Zealand . writers. Monthly gatherings will be held in the different centres. Mrs. I. M. Cluett gave a talk upon New Zealand writers, a survey of some of the best known names in our literature from the very early days up to the present time. To keep us hiimble, she said, we were solemnly' assured from time to time that in a literary sense New Zealand had not yet been bora. Still, she ventured to think in tie brief span of literary existence the Dominion had produced some writers worthy to uphold the traditions of true literature. She mentioned such names as Judge Manning, Samuel Butler, Alfred. Domett, Sir John Logan Campbell, Sir William Perabcr Reeves, William Satchell, Thomas Bracken, Edith Searle Grossmann, Ann Glenny Wilson, Arthur Adams, Jessie Mackay, James Cowan, Alan Mulgan, Katherine Mansfield, G. G. Lancaster, Jane Mander, Rosemary Rees, Mr. Justice Alpers, Hector Bolitho, Nelle Scanlan. In the younger school were A. R. D. Fairburn, Eileen Duggan, Robin Hyde, and others. Among those present were: Mesdames I. M. Cluett, E. Woollcot, E. Ryburn, E. M. Doust, A. Crump, D. E. Hall, Scott, Evans, Richmond, and Miss Dulcy Bauman.
