Tokorangi

From Our Own Correspondent. Quite a gloom was cast over tho Oneptihi district- over the week-end when it was learned that a small Maori lad of five years had' been killed in an unfortunate accident.

It appears that, accompanied, by his mother, he was riding in a gig .when the horse suddenly bolted. After a mad gallop, the gig was overturned, tho child receiving fatal injuries, while the mother was slightly hurt also. As a result of tho tragedy, the Tokorangi Ladies’ Hockey Club defaulted all their matches at the Feilding tournament on June 3. School Success. Tho Tokorangi school seven-a-side Rugby team fully justified the confidence of its supporters when it won the primary schools’ tourney held at Palmerston North on June 3. The boys played as a team should,, throwing tho leather about with' abandon, and it was this, combined with the speed of Rangi Simmonds, that won the day. W. Kere also played an , outstanding game, scoring three tries in the final, and being responsible for sev-

oral oilier bright movements during tlie earlier games. In three games, tho boys scored 47 points, while 6 points were registered against them. The final, played against Manchester street, proved a walk-over, the scoro being 2 22. As a result of this victory, the school now holds tho Boon Cup for the next 12 months. The successful team consisted of Vi. ICere (captain), B. Simmonds, E. Blunden, K. Zweibruclo, T. Paraniki, C. Kere and B. O’Neill.
