Kerridge returned from Christchurch on Satur--1 day evening. -p Captain McGregor (Christchurch) flew over the township in his plane on Saturday afternoon. Accompanying I him were Mr Geo. Mclnroe, and Mr ißert Winchester.

Waiuta Rugby Juniors defeated Ikamatua Juniors at Ikamatua on Sunday, after a hard-fought game by 6 ooints to 3. E. Byrne was responsible for two tries for Waiuta, while J. Pfahlert kicked a penalty goal for Ikamatua. Mr J. Fitzgerald had charge of the game.'

Marist League Juniors met the local Juniors on th e Recreation Ground on Sunday, before a good crowd of spectators. The game was fairly even rp |to half time, the scores being seven .all. Marist backs held the upper hand in the second spell, and added a further 26 points, while the locals added a further 7 points, Marist winning by 33 points to 14. The handling of the Mar.is't backs was very clean and they gave a finished exhibition of the code. The Imais lacked finish and training, but I will h e a force to be reckoned with in |the cup fixtures. For Marist, Williams, S. Anisy, August, Restieaux, Burger, • Furruin, and McHugh wore prominent. I The best of the local side were Brooks. Quinn, Nicholson, A. Lin”s. Hempseed, and Bourke. Mr J. Rodden had charge lof the game. t 'Mrs Ward (Criterion Hotel) Greymouth, Messrs W. Kells (Cobden), and E. McDonnell (Greymouth) were visitors here on Wednesday. (’• ;A: collection was taken up at the ••tn'inb oh pay day in aid of the locked•oiit ■ miner s’ at Blackball.
