FOXTON, Dec. 2. The friends of Mr T. Wanklyn will regret to learn that he is at present an inmate of the Palmerston North Hospital. A committee meeting of the Foxton Horticultural Society was held to receive the financial statement in connection with the summer show. Mr D. Christie (president) presided. The financial statement disclosed a loss of £6 odd on the exhibition. The president said that the position was very satisfactory in view of the times. A number of -societies in neighbouring towns had decided against a summer show ns they knew they would show a loss. The local society had decided against going into recess and whether or not that had been a wise move was for members to say. Mr Spooner expressed the opinion that flip society had done the right thing by carrying on. \n inter-club croquet match, Foxton v. lanakau. was played on the Levin green on Thursday.
