Seven ladies cut for the consolation prize, Mesdames Todd, J. R. Kelly, J. Anderson, Jameson, Atkinson, and the Misses Milne and D. Waghorn. Mrs Atkinson proved to he the winner. The men’s first prize, a pocket wallet, was won by Dir L. Dnlziell, of Makorua, who succeeded in winning the nine games. The consolation prize was cut for by Messrs Guy, Goadson and R. Carter, the latter gaining the. prize. Visitors were present from Makerua and Foxton, and the increasing attendance at these functions offers the 00/miitlee every encouragement to continue.
