The Minister of Mines, the Hon. P. C. Webb owes the Ohai Football Club a guinea. He incurred the debt last week by being the first to kick a goal from half-way on the Ohai football ground. It came about as the result of a place kicking competition betv'een Mr. Webb and the secretary of the Nightcap Miners’ Union, Mr. A. E. Prendeville. Mr. Prendevjlle was kicking with success from 35 yards, but the Minister insisted that kicking from halfway was his “long suit.” He proved it with a magnificent kick that went neatly over the bar. Mr, Prendeville missed.
