The Steele-Payne Bellringers gave a performance here lact week to a crowded house. Every item was well received, especially Mr Steele's rendering of " Sons of the Sea," when a little boy dressed as a jolly tar came on the stage and sang the chorus. Mr Walter Rivers fairly brought down the house with his singing of " The Absent Minded Beggar," during which a collection was taken up in aid of the Patriotic Fund and brought in L2 0s 6d.
I understand the local Patriotic Committee intend holding sports shortly in aid of the war fund.
Last Friday when the bogus news came of the relief of Ladysmith, ilags were hoisted, bells were rung and whistles were screeching for a long time. At night crowds lined the streets waiting to hear any fresh news that might come in, while the band under Mr Sommervilie kept things lively by adding a little music.
The association football club held a practice match here on Saturday afternoon, when some swift play was indulged in. Before long I hope to see it regain its old name, that of Premier Club of Otago— yes, of New Zealand.
