Turnbull presided over a meeting of the committee of the Horticultural Society. .It was reported that tlie recent show had been very successful. A’otes of thanks were accorded the several officials. Accounts in connection with the late show were passed for payment and revision of the schedule was also given consideration. The committee of the Croquet Club, at a meeting presided over by Mrs J. Halpin, resolved to close the season on Easter Monday. In the meanwhile it is hoped to play a return match with Pahiatua and also try conclusions with the Dannevirke Club. In connection with the erection of State houses, the question of the installation of gas has arisen, no provision apparently having been made for tlie same locally. The Dannevirke Borough Council has dealt with the same subject as pertaining to the State houses in that town, and it has decided that the installation be carried out free of charge, as it is understood that the Dannevirke Power Board is making the same concession.
