The president of tho Woodville Club, Mr. S. Turnbull, presided over the meeting and extended a cordial welcome to tho visitors. A short toast list was gone through while contributed items, vocal and musical, as well as the usual "fishy" stories filled in tho evening in a pleasant manner. After the loyal toast, the visitors were toasted by Mr. F. Ebbett and this was responded to by Messrs. Morgan (Pahiatua), Walsh (Pannevirke), Alpe (Feilding) and Page (Palmerston North).
