Dr Fitzgerald, in reply to a letter {Am the Kaitangata school committee Hiking him to allow himself to be nominated as a candidate to contest the | Qtggo Education Board South Ward I {lection, states that while deeply grateI fji to the committee for its kindness he I could not, under existing circumstances, I think of contesting the election against | Hr McKinlay, the retiring member. The I doctor paid a very high compliment to I Messrs McKinlay, Fleming and Smith | for the work they have done in promotI iag the interests of country schools. As 1 o, e gentlemen mentioned are also inti- | mate friends of the doctor, he would not I tontest a seat on the board against any I one of them. I On Tuesday evening Constable Martin a man named C. Gallaher, 27 | tears of age, employed as a miner at Kaitangata, on a charge of failing to | make provision for the support of his I illegitimate child.

At present the three lead|f ing teams are: Kaitangata, eight | Hatches played, 13 points; Northern A., Eleven matches, 11 points; Mornington ; seven matches, 10 'points.
