WOOLWORTHS' PICNIC
Woolworths (N.Z.), Ltd., held their annual picnic at Maidstone Park,' Upper Hutt, on Sunday.

Manyl New Zealand managers, executives, and their ■ wives were present; and luncheon was presided over by Mr. Theo. Kelly, general manager for New Zealand. ■'..-.
The cricket teams were very evenly matched, and a hard-fought game resulted in a thrilling finish, when, in failing light, Wellington won the match by two wickets.

Wellington totalled 28D (Robinson 116 Pickard 72, Rice 28, Cutts 22, Davies 20, Stewart 10, Brodie 10), and hit off the runs required to win for the loss of eight wickets (Prince 53, Cutts 17, Brodie 11 not out, Pickard 10, Stewart 8).
