That “Success treads on the heci? of every right Effort” was fully demonstrated by the excellent manner in which the Kumara Sports were carried out by an energetic committee, and the large attendance at the Sports Ball reflected the confidence of tm public in no uncertain manner. Tne Memorial Hall was crowded with spectators and lovers of the light ian tastic tripped to the excellent musi. supplied by the Ross Orchestra ui six instruments, who played popular airs which were thoroughly enjoyed by all. The veteran M.C., Mr .*». Dalkie had control of the floor an 1 kept things moving in a lively and jovial manner. The promenade supper, which was supplied by Mrs J. McFarlane and a strong committee of ladies was favourably commented upon, am* was well up to their usual high standard. Wit and humour prevailed particularly after mid-night when many lively exchanges of wit amused the large audience and a memorable 31 st March “took its exit into all Foots Day.” Mr J. McFarlane, President of the Kumara Sports Club, received a congratulatory communication from the Clubs’ Patron, Mr James O’Brie* M.P., wishing the Club fine weather and success.

The retirement of Mr A. H. Secthack as hea'. master of the State Schoo! concludes the term of a popular and painstaking teacher, whose duties for over forty years in the town have been at the service of three generations. Many cx/-pupils. doing well in other parts of New Zealand can attribute their success To the foundations laid by our retiring teacher. The luncheon and afternoon tearooms at the Kumara races on Easter Monday were conducted by a ladies' committee in aid of the Medical Fund Thanks to their effort, the financial result will be a welcome help to the worthy object of retaining a resident Doctor in the town.
