A meeting of the Angling Club was held at Mr Prior's rooms last night, Captain Hamilton presiding. After hearing a statement from Captain Hamilton, it was decided to ask the Acclimatisation Society to supply 120,000 ova from the Hakateramea hatchery, from big sea-run trout, for the Tiratu hatchery, with the view of increasing the size of the fish in the district rivers and streams. It was also decided to ask the society to supply as many fry as possible for. the smaller streams, in addition to the ova, with the view of making up the tosses of fish suffered by the recent bush fires.' Arrangements were made for a fishing competition, and a voto of condolence with one of the members, Mr H. Mills, in the death of his father, was ordered to be recorded in tho minutes. It is with feelings of profound regret that we are called upon in this issue to announce the demise of Mrs Campbell Thomson, which occurred this morning, after a brief illness. Mrs Thomson had been in indifferent health for some time, and since. Wednesday her case had been somewhat serious, but the end came with startling unexpectedness, and the sad news of a fatal termination this morning caused quite a shock to run through the whole community. The late Mrs Thomson was the eldest daughter of the late William Heury Hunter, of Porangahau, and came to live with her family at Dannevirke some seven- ; teen years ago. About twelve years jigo sho was married to Mr Campbell Thomson, one of Dannevirke's foremost citizens, and since then her lifo has been largely identified with the social interests of the town. Tho deceased lady was held in tho highest ostimation by a wide circle of friends. She. was of a particularly gontle and charitably-inclined disposition, and was ever ready to assist in any caseof trouble and distress that was brought under her notice. The late Mrs Thomson is survived by her husband and two children, and to the. sorrowing family we tender our respectful sympathy.
