Pearce, assured the tourists that Terrace End players were glad to welcome them to the green, which, even though it might be a little heavy after rain, was usually fast and in splendid condition thanks to its excellent supervisor, Air Tantrum. He hoped that, during their travels, they would enjoy themselves not only on the greens but in their social activities. The presidI ent expressed the hope that next year Alanawatu might be able to make a ! reciprocal visit. He trusted the pre-

sent tour would conclude as happily and successfully as it had begun.

Replying on behalf of tho visitors, Air North said that they had enjoyed every moment of their sojourn in Palmerston North. lie congratulated the Alanawatu centre on its good fortune in possessing a secretary of the calibre of Air A. F. Wimsett, who was a model of what a secretary should be. His excellent arrangements had made the visit doubly enjoyable. At his suggestion cheers were enthusiastically given for Air Wimsett.
