ACTIVITIES OF THE DISTRICT.

OTEPOPO SCHOOL REUNION. The time is drawing hear when the Otepopo School reunion is to take place, and arrangements are now well in hand, numerous replies having been received from ex-pupils, aud others are still being received.

Mr hleninig was head master at Otepopo for oi er 20 years, and was held in the highest esteem by the community, and also by the boys and girls he taught while at Otepopo. and his death has cast quite a gloom over the district.

Another round of interclub matches was completed on December 7, and although they were no surprise defeats, yet some very good matches resulted. Awamoa A bad a very easy win over the B team, the latter only managing to get two sets out of the total;of 24. G. Henry played well to beat A. Wilson, his volleying being a feature of the. match. He kept Wilson on the run throughout and always, looked a winner. He baa a good variety of strokes which are played with ease, and with more concentration on his game should develop into a fine player. Meadowbank proved too strong for Waimate, defeating Waimate comfortably. Miss Miller’s defeat of Mrs Borrie showed her in good form, and on present play she should go to the finals of the Christmas tourney. Hill created a surprise by the good showing against Oamaru, the latter only winning by 14 sets to 10. Hill ladies had a day on form, while the men held thieir more experienced opponents, Maude and Skellerup played well to hold Bryan and Gallagher to 9—6; as the latter are recognised as being a- good double. In the junior matches Hill defeated Oamaru, Morven defeated ■ Awamoa, Wainiate lost to Meadowbank, while Pukeuri accounted for Wesley. Meadowbank and Morven are now even with an unbeaten record, with Pukeuri closely following with one” defeat. The meeting between the first-mentioned teams should provide a. good tussle. The combined competition st Meadowbank cojirts for the Mulligan cup bps now reached the semi-final, the following matches being played during the week-end:—M'Donald and Miss Rutherford beat Robertson and Miss Robins. o—4; Byrne and Miss King beat - Rowe and Miss Robertson. 9—7; Lament and Miss Cuthbertson beat Forrest and Miss M'Pherson, 9 —6; Crimp and Miss Slater beat Lament and .Miss Cuthbertson, 9—6; Rutherford and Miss A, Miller best Hedges and Miss Steeele, 9—7. Challenges for the North Otago ladder have eased off this week. Bryan accounted for Gallagher after a hard • three-set match, in which Gallagher did not show-his usual form. He had the lead, in the second set, but Bryan’s consistency gradually wore him' down, and he eventually took the match. Rowe played well to beat Swindle/ B—6, 4—6, 6 —2, after a good exhibition of driving by both players. Rowe has been improving steadily, his weakness being at the net. A little more accuracy in this department would make him much harder to beat. At the Awamoa Club Miss M'Donald has climbed to second place by her defeat of Mrs Bradley by seven games to six. She has been playing particularly good termis this season, her service and net play standing her in good stead-. The game was a most peculiar one, inasmuch as each player won her service throughout. Miss M'Donald started and thus won by the odd game. Entries for the Christmas tourney closed on Saturday night, but late entries will be received' until this evening. Any competitor who has overlooked his entry can be still eligible if his application reaches the secretary before the meeting to-night. As stated before, the trophies offered ore particularly attractive, and that, combined with the good weather usually experienced at Christmas time, should make the tourney well worth a visit. Visitors are particularly welcome, and the extension of time will allow those who have-overlooked the tourney to still be in the draw. MARINE PARADE FATALITY. : At about .6 o’clock on Saturday afternoon .a junior high school ■ boy named Francis-William Andrew, aged 12 years, son , of Mr .James H. Andrew, of Nen street, Oamaru, was walking along the Marine parade in company with'two other boys, and, on looking up at a pigeon that flew from the cliff above his head, he stepped backwards and fell over the cliff, which has no protection, oh to the rocks on the seashore below, the fall facing about 30 feet. The unfortunate lad was removed by ambulance to the Oamaru Hospital suffering from a compound fracture of the right upper arm and from severe shook. He expired at about 11 ,6clock the same evening. An inquest touching the fatality will be held this morning. BOWLING. • In the Mills Shield matches on Saturday Awamoa established a lead of 20 points against Phcenix.

Owing to the school vacation there was only one senior game on Saturday. Union a.ul Oamaru finishing the match at the school ground, with a fast wicket and outfield. It was expected that large scores would be the order of the dav, but although each side was without the services of one of its regular bowlers, the batting was poor. Uttley. who opened

for Oamaru. was very uncertain during the first few overs, but later settled down to good cricket, carrying hi* bat throughout the innings for 68 runs. The brightest exhibition of the day-was given by Kawstorn. He, with Maddigan, continued Union’s tenth wicket partnership, and quickly got into his stride. He hit four fours off . consecutive bails, and looked likv. adding another one,' which th; howler brilliantly intercepted and held with one band. Maddigan was undefeated with a valuable 42. 1 Union’s second, innings produced the same as Oamaru’s total, leaving Oamaru a three-point win with a lead of 50 runs. Maddigan and Rawstorn again batted well, and both were stumped from balls on the leg side. Messrs MTntyre and Tweed officiated as umpires. -cores:— UNION. First' Innings.
