The euchre tournament at Raukawa on Friday night was not largely attended, due, no doubt, to the political and other meetings. However, a pleasant evening was spent 'by those present. First prizes were won by Mrs Taipua and Mr G. Gordon and second prizes by Mrs Johnson and Mr Bob Niekolls.

The Otaki Volunteer Fire Brigade, one of the most valuable organisations a town can. have, will hold a monster dance at the 'Railway theatre on Saturday night, 20th inst., when Godson's orchestra of talented musicians, will supply the music.
