SUMNER ITEMS.

Forensic Olub. One of the most enjoyable evenings of the first session was held last Tuesday, when the Sumner Club debated with the Philomath .. Club, of Christchurch, "That Prohibition is the true solution of the drink problem." The judges, Mr A. W. Jamiceon, of the Sumner Club, and Mr G. Barnes, of the Philomath Club, experienced the greatest difficulty in their task of judging the merits of either team, and finally declared Sumner the winners with 196 points against 101 points secured by the visitors. The speakers for Sumner were Messrs J. S. Barr, F. H. R. Neville, and B. D. Watson, and for tjie Philomath Club Miss Barlass and Messrs Gray and Duncan. Supper was served by the lady members of the club. Next week the subject for discussion is "That in New Zealand the,secondary industries should not be encouraged at the expense of the importer." Mr H. J. Klingenstein will occupy the chair and. the principal speakers will be Messrs Douglas Smith, J. Bhodcs, P. Ellis, and R. H. Neville. Rugby Football. Last Saturday, under appalling conditions, the President's 2 team easily defeated fchrist's College, the score being 27 points to 3. The local backs again demonstrated their superiority and handled the ball well under conditions detrimental to good back play. Their formation differed from that of previous matches, and the result must havo been pleasing to tho selectors, since the best back movements of tho team to date were.witnessed. J. F. Bamford was in great scoring vein, notching four tries and converting two, while Coleman (2), and Shearman (1) scored tries, and Stoncman converted one. In the under 17 grade the local team was defeated by Sydenham by 20 points to 17. As the score indicates, the gamo was evenly contested, and it was not until, the last few minutes that Sydenham were able to score the deciding try. ' This afternoon the President s 2 team meets Albion at the Polo Grounds, while the under 17' team is drawn against Albion at St. Leonard's square. Bedcliffs Ladies' Hockey Club.

You have decided to move—perhaps a few miles—perhaps to another town. There arc two ways of going about it. The first is to look after the job yourself—that means endless worry and the risk of valuable goods being ringed. The second and sensible way is to hand everything over to the New Zealand Express Company. Everything is expertly packed, Bpeedily carried-in specially constructed "Dennis" pantechnicons, and unpacked at the other end. No worry—no fuss or excitement— and your goods arrivw on time in perfect condition. . .—l.
