(From Our Own Correspondent.) SANSON, April 7. At a' general meeting of the Sundon Sports Gnu Mr O. E. J. Eglmton pie sided over a good attendance of members. The secretary (Mr S. L. Orr) tabled a re. port on the recent sports which slated that, the meeting had pioved .succcssfull both financially und socially. The receipts showed an increase ot over £5 on last year's meeting, while the expenditure ivas about £6 lower. A net profit oi £ll 3s 4d was made without taking into consideration cxepnditure tor permanent material. Tlie ciub has the sum of £27 in band with a few moro small amounts to como in. The president, in speaking to the report, said that the position couid be considered very satisfactory. Tlie introduction of ball games ahd hurdle events had mado tlie sports more interesting from the spectators’ point of view and it also brought to light talent which probably in the Ordinary course of events would not have been displayed. Mr Eglinton referred to the splendid work of the officials oil tlie day of the sports and thanked them for the hearty co-oporation he had received in his first term, of office. It was decided that the annual meeting be held early in December, and that the secretary arrange for nominations to close at least a tortirglit before the holding of the sports. A committee consisting of Messrs Eglinton, \V. J. Jenkins, and Orr was set, up to go into the question of submitting a revised set of rules at the next annual meeting. Recommendations for the improving of tho spurts were dealt with and are to bo brought up at the next annual meeting. The secretary was instructed to write letters of appreciation to Misses Margaret and Joyce Kilputriek for the splendid result of their efforts in selling tickets for the cuke competition. The friends of Mr A. Ingles will regret to loarh that he is at present an inmate of the Palmerston North Hospital. Mr and Mrs 11. J. Fagan are spending a few days at the residence of their daughter, Mrs P. Jordan, Marton.

The following annual report will be submitted by tile secretary of tile Sandon Table Tennis Club (Mr E. Butler) at.the annual meeting:—“Most to myself and the officials are tho cordial support given and services rendered by all members and I trust that the same support will be again given during the coming season. It is very noticeable the marked improvement of ull players and I think that the club will be fortunate in the future to possess some high class players. During' tho past season our club played several friendly games and wore most successful, winning the majority of the games. Credit is due to those members who catered for supper and ulso to Messrs T. Williams, A, Matthews, and R. Bishop for the use of their cars for transport? Messrs McLaren and McMurrav, secretary and assistant-secretary to tlie Manawatu Table Tennis Association, have made a verbal appeal to induce this club toTink up with the association. If it is possible to obtain the necessary transport I earnestly advise members to vote in support of this. In rcpect to the balance-sheet you will notico that the club is in a very satisfactory position, a credit of £8 showing on the books. Half of this sum is due to the efforts of the club’s social committee in conducting a dance. In conclusion I wish to thank all members for their support and assistance, especially the donors of trophies, and Mesdamos Butler and E. Davoy and Miss G. Sanson (the club’s chaperons) for their work. Thanks are also clue to the custodians (Messrs 11. Meyer and M, Cockburn) for their untiring efforts a-nd to tho captain and vice-captain for assisting to sustain the intercat of members and to the executive.”
