The Hospital Ball proved a great success and the secretary handed over £9O/3/6 as the proceeds from the ball. The committee, comprising tvzenty-one members, visited the hospital on Sunday last when Mr Ashton, Dr Moore and the Matron, conducted them through every department on a

course of inspection. Every member was well satisfied that the hospital had the most modern equipment, needed in any case of emergency, and now ranks as one of the finest hospitals in the Dominion. Two quoiters visited Dobson on Saturday to arrange a match with either contestant at the recent challenge match. Both felt confident that they could beat eithef of the two men, and tried to arrange the match. The coin was tossed and Mr F.
