NORTH OTAGO.

LATE MR J.. DUNGEY Moeraki loat one of its best known identities in the recent death of Mr Joshua Dungey, at the age of 70 years. Mr Dungey was. born in Dunedin, and at two years of age accompanied his parents in the gold rush to Dunstan. As a youth he worked . at. the butchering trade for Mr A. Aubrey, of St. Bathans, and later with Messrs T. Keenan and Morgan. Whilst with the firm he became a jockey, and rode several winners for Mr T. Keenan. After, spending about 20 years wagoning he went to Moeraki, and for the last 35 years had been engaged in farming pursuits. Mr Dungey took a keen interest in local affairs, and was chairman and a member of the Moeraki and Kartigi School Committee for several years, and chairman'of the Moeraki Domain Board until his decease. He is survived by his widow and a family of, sons—Messrs F. Dungey (Waimate), N, Dungey (Balfour), Jack Dungey (Mossburn), Alfred Dungey (Waikouaiti), !Joshua, Len. Pat, and Tom (Moeraki), and, James (Mount Nicolas). The funeral was one of the

HAMPDEN BOWLING In the Pairs Competition for the Galloway Cup, the holders, Messrs Sprague and Woodley, were defeated by the Waikouaiti pair, Griffiths and Carson, by 29 points to 10. VOLUNTEER NOTES , . By Kit-Bag. The first parade of-B Company of the Otago Regiment after the annual bivouac was held at the Drill Hall on Wednesday, March 9. An inspection of rifles and elementary stripping of the Lewis gun was carried out, also a practice shoot with miniature rifles. Some good scores were put up by men who had previously done no miniature rifle shooting at all. ' All ranks are very enthusiastic to form a volunteer miniature rifle club, and it has been decided to hold a meeting after next company parade on Wednesday next for the purpose of selecting a committee. A hearty invitation is extended to the members of the North Otago N.C.O.’s Club to join. After the business-is over a first-clap's entertainment will be performed, and it is strongly advised that everyone bring along a full basket or an equivalent. _ The officers, n.c.o.’s, and Lewis gun sections are reminded of the Lewis gun shcot tb-day at the butts, Sandy Beach. A good attendance is requested. ■ At a meeting of the Social Committee last evening an extensive programme of sport ,was mapped out to suit all variety of tastes to brighten the long winter evenings. All. basket bailers and intending players should see that their gymnasium shoes are in perfect repair for the forthcoming clashes between platoon and n.c.o. teams, which will be selected at an early date by an already appointed committee. As the military year is nearing completion, it was moved that the N.C.O. Club and the volunteers amalgamate in winding up the year’s work with a dinner ..which would be held as an annual function. Mr G. M'G, Robertson, of B. Company, is to be congratulated on his promotion to first lieutenant. : LAWN TENNIS NOTES Tb-day will see the curtain rung down on lawn tennis so far as representative matches are concerned. This day has been Allotted to the annual match against Otago, and will take place at the Awamoa courts, commencing at noon. The teams from .these districts have ■ always been evenly, matched, and this year should be no exception Otago is sending up its strongest; team, and as both teams consist mainly of younger players some excellent games Simula result. The Otago team is travelling by Car, and will■ arrive about i l o’clock, when, the visitors will, be taken to dinner at the Bungalow. North Otago’s red-letter day this year was. certainly the day. of the match against Canterbury at Christchurch, For two seasons, the Canterbury Association had invited the local association to send a, team to Christchurch, but owing to the difficulty hr getting' a team away both opportunities wee, lost. However, this year, with the help of the Canterbury Association, a team o! young players made the trip, and on tneir return they were most, enthusiastic as to their reception in the northern city, _ The team left by bus on Friday night in beautifully fine weather, but unfortunately Saturday moruing broke very dull, and although members of the team had an hour’s practice on grass from 10 o’clock, rain began to fall shortly after 11 o’clock, and the match had to be abondoned so far as grass play -was concerned. Not to be deterred, the Canterbury Association drove the North Otago players from court to court in. an endeavour to find one that had hot been affected by the rain, and finally ended up'at the “ Bowker” courts at Brighton, where, curiously enough, there had not been a dtop of rain. These courts were kindly placed at the disposal of the teams by the club’s, committee, an action* that was fully, appreciated by members of . the-North Otago team. , It was a great disappointment' not being able to play ou the grass, hut this was soon forgotten as . the games progressed. Although only one match , was won by tne local association, the majority were very closely-contested, and the way in which the;,local players went for their, shots was freely commented on by the northern papers, , . . . , , -Miss Dora Miller maintained her wonderful record by decisively beating the Canterbury champion, Miss Wake, s—o, 6—3.' Miss Miller was right on her game, and looked a winner from the commencement. Miss Wake varied her game in an endeavour to find a weakness in Miss Miller’s game, but without avail. Any time she made an.incursion to the net she was beautifully passed or beaten by a short drop shot, which is a great poiDo winner in the local girl’s game. With the wonderful record Miss Miller holds it is a. great pity she did not get a game against the Australian ladies, as the experience she would, have gained would have been invaluable to her. Miss Miller intends to defend the Otago championship at Easter, ■ and the good wishes of all tenuis, players will go with her. Miss D. Baikie put up a good fight against Mrs Macdonald, whom she toojt to three sets. Thin was .a game full of hard driving, both fore and backhand, and it was Mrs Macdonald’s extra pace that made the difference in the last set. Mrs Borrie was unlucky in not taking the second set from Miss Rudkin, having two opportunities of so doing. ' Both these ladies placed' very consistently, and a good game y;as the result. Miss I. Poole proved too strong for Miss K. Weavers, her superior pace and placement being too severe for the local girl. Miss Poole is one of the coming players in Canterbury. and is particularly active on the court. Of the men Bryan was the most outstanding, his style and execution of his shots being the cause of favourable comment. His match with Barnett, run-ner-up in the New Zealand championships, was full of incident, and had Bryan been a little steadier and waited for the right ball to kill, he would probably have taken the first set. Barnett is a wonderful player and is never beaten, getting back some wonderful recoveries. His anticipation is uncanny, which, of course, accounts for Ids recoveries to a great extent. Gallagher had a great struggle with T. Paterson, another of Canterbury’s most consistent players, and actually led 6—5 and 40-15 in the second set, only to lose it by foolish shots. Gallagher, of all the North Otago players, wastes too many shots by wild hitting, when a good placement would be much more effective. In the Doubles the local players combined very effectively, and all gave very finished exhibitions of smashing and volleying The best game was that between Feathers and M'Kinnon and Dymond and A’Court, which went the full three sets and was full of incident throughout. Both sides rushed the net at every opportunity, and the game was full of brilliant smashing and volleying, in which the local pair excelled. The second set was most unusual. The Christchurch pair quickly rau to a. lead of s—o, only to find the opposition stiffen just when the set point was required. By brilliant play the score was brought - to nine all before the Christchurch pair, by good placements, eventually won out 11 —9. Misses Miller and Weavers played well to take a set from Mrs Macdonald and Miss Pool 6—o, and it would have been interesting to have seen the final set played. Altogether the local players put up a sterling fight in all their games, and, as stated before, delighted tbe spectators by their attacking pfay. The Christchurch Association deserves every credit for the wonderful inann< • in which they looked after the local players, and it is hoped that the Christchurch players will call in at Oainaru on their way south next year, when some of their kindness may be returned. The finals of the Irvine and Familton Cupa were completed last week, when

Miss D. Miller defeated Miss D. Baikie, and Bryan defeated M'Kinnon. Both games were well worth watching, especially the men’s event. Bryan was right on game in the first set, and had little difficulty in taking it 6—4. M’Kinnon livened up in the second set, and by good placements took it 6 —3. The final set was very keenly contested, but M'Kinnon made the mistake of relying on safety tactics instead of forcing the pace. Bryan, realising the position, came to the net at every opportunity and killed everything that was put in the air. His smashing was deadly, but this was assisted by the number of short lobs put up by his opponent. Had M'Kinnon played his usual driving game the result might easily have been reversed. Miss Miller once again annexed the Irvine Cup, beating Miss Baikie in straight sets. Miss Baikie should have taken the second set, as she led 5 —3 and 40 —15, but, like M'Kinnon, she apparently eased up at the critical moment, and her opponent forged ahead to take the set and match. North Otago players who were at Christchurch have returned home realising how handicapped players are in Oamaru through the lack of grass courts. Wilding Park is a wonderful place, and, although it has cost a lot of money, yet it has made tennis in the northern city. On the Saturday the local players were in Christchurch over 400 secondary school children were taking part in a tournament on these courts, and the sight of all these youngsters made a picture hard to forget. Wilding Park costs every tennis player in Christchurch 2s 6d per year, but there is not a doubt but that it is worth every penny. It is to be hoped that sooner or later some small scheme will be formulated that will give Oamaru piasters the opportunity of keeping up with the best in other centres. LADIES’ BOWLING The match between the Phcenix and Palmerston Ladies’ Bowling Clubs, at Palmerston, resulted in a win for Phoenix by 103 points to 92. Details are as follow (Phoenix names mentioned first): —Mesdames Milligan, Thomson, Aikenhead, Wedderspoon 27, Mcsdames Scott, Lang, Ross, Morrison 24; Mesdames Calder, Watts, Berry, Glass 20, Mesdames M'Kerrow, Cameron, Martin, Fraser 18; Mesdames Grenfell, Speicl, Adams, Reid 17, Mesdames Phillips, Ryan, ■ M'Kenny, Korner 16; Mesdames Forrest, Weavers, Blacklock, Ashton 10, Mesdames Fraser, Young, Moodie, M'Leod 16; Miss Symington, Mesdames Freebury, Robertson, M'Lean 29, Mesdames Ingram, Pickett, Thomas, Haggle 18. GARDENS FETE One of the chief evening attractions in Oamaru for Easter will be the fete to be held in the Oamaru Gardens by the North Otago Caledonian Society, for which a fine programme of entertainment has been arranged to engender the carnival spirit and banish gloom. A pleasant hour will be provided by dancing, music, and an abundance of side shows, which, amid the delightful surroundings of the Gardens, should induce many residents to spend the evenings thefe. The local bands will be in attendance to render appropriate selections, and dancing will hold sway on the green, while the fancy dress and decorated bicycle competitions should be full of interest to spectators. Every effort is being put forth by the directors to make the function an exceptional success, and the co-operation of supporters of the society is solicited in the contribution of produce, etc. All that will be required is fair weather to ensure a large attendance of the public to participate in the two carnival nights arranged. NORTH OTAGO FARMERS’ UNION The monthly meeting of the Provincial Executive of the North Otago Fanners’ Union was held yesterday afternoon. Mr R. Walker occupied the chair. ■ Accounts totalling £1 2s 6d were passed for payment. A letter from the Minister of Agriculture in connection with transport of stock was received. The Hawke’s Bay branch of the Farmers’ Union wrote drawing attention to the increased competition to New Zealand produce from foreign countries, especially the Argentine, in which £1,006,000,000 of British capital was invested, the sea journey to London being half that from New Zealand. The letter stated that the exchange monoply recently granted to the banks by the New Zealand Government had enabled the financial interests to fix exchange rates in such a way that Argentine enjoyed a 20 per cent, advantage over New Zealand produce, which completely submerged any help that might have come to New Zealand from the Buy-within-the-Bmpire campaign and also nullified the British Government tariff proposals. The last straw was the suggestion that Argentine should be given representation at the Ottawa Conference, which was avowedly aimed to set the Empire house in order. The Hawke’s Bay branch sought support for a resolution directing the attention of the Dominion Executive to' the menace to British Empire interests contained in the suggestion that foreign countries might be given some form of representation at the forthcoming Ottawa Empire Conference.—lt was unanimously decided to support the resolution.

The Enfield branch of the Women’s Division of the union applied for financial assistance to defray the cost of hall rentals for meetings. Members pointed out that the grant of 30s for the formation of branches did not cover expenses. It was suggested that the 2s 6d subscription was not sufficient to cover expenses, and the subscription should be raised. Mr Meek informed the meeting that branches had just been formed at Tokarahi and Duntroon, and the Women’s , Division, through the formation of branches, would be able to deal with applications for relief more effectively. The question of making a grant was deferred until the next meeting. URGENT APPEAL FOR BOOTS At the present time there is a very urgent need for boots confronting the Relief Committee, and a strong appeal is being made in this direction to residents of North Otago. At the suggestion and with the approval of the Unemployment Board boot repairing will be carried out under the control of the Relief Committee, and to meet the requirements of the present time boots and shoes of every description are urgently wanted. To stress the urgency of the need, the class of boot to which some men have been reduced was brought under the notice of the Daily Times representative yesterday. In the one case the man, who was a very willing worker, had perforce to carry heavy fencing posts over a ploughed paddock in shoes of which the uppers were practically in tatters through the gaping holes, while the soles were split right across and were worn clean through to the extent of two inches. In another case the man’s feet were actually bleeding from the use of dilapidated footwear, and he will of necessity be laid up and debarred from working for several days if work were available. It is hoped that the response to the appeal will make it possible to meet the urgent needs of these men, and contributions of boots, leather, and material are earnestly solicited. It is intended to make a nominal charge for repairs to cover the cost of material, and intending contributors are requested to leave their parcels at the relief depot or to advise the Mayoress (Mrs J. M. Forrester) by telephone or letter, when arrangements will be made to collect them. SPROUTED WHEAT Mr R. B. Meek reported to the North Otago Farmers’ Union meeting yesterday that it had been stated at the last meeting of the board of the New Zealand Wheatgrowers’ Association that a large quantity of wheat in South Can-

terbury had aprouted and in bad condition, and that the research service of the association had been placed at the disposal of the growers. Those same privileges had been secured for the North Otago wheatgrower. They were under the impression that sprouted wheat was useless for milling, and some from its appearance, unfiit for even fowlwheat. That was not so in all cases of sprouting, and growers with sprouted iug, were requested to forward a 41b sample to the association for the research service to miller and baker, so that growers could be advised as to its suitability for milling or otherwise. The service was offered free, and the association did not ask to handle the grower’s wheat, and any sales could be made through the brokers in the usual way. He hoped that a large number of growers would take advantage of this free service, and all that was required was for them to forward a sample of their sprouted wheat to the New Zealand Wheatgrowers’ Association. 82 Hereford street, Christchurch. WAIAREKA SALE YARDS SIDING Mr E. S. Brewster brought before the notice of members of the North Otago Farmers’ Union yesterday that work could be found for the unemployed in widening the railway cutting at Waiareka and putting in a railway siding to the Waiareka Sale Yards. Some time ago engineers had given the opinion that this was impracticable, but with unemployed labour such an opinion might easily be reversed. There was a need for such a siding to the yards, and frequently lots of sheep were not purchased because of the cost of droving to Deborah to truck. _ He urged that steps be taken to see if engineers could devise some means for putting in a siding, and that the co-opera-tion of the Borough and County Councils, the Chamber of Commerce, and Agricultural and Pastoral Association be solicited. A resolution to this effect was carried. CONVEYANCE TO SCHOOLS A deputation from the Tokarahi branch, comprising Messrs J. Simpson and Hughes, waited on the North Otago Farmers’ Union yesterday seeking the executive’s support of a protest against the withdrawal of the Government allowance for conveyance of country children to secondary schools. Mr Simpson said that from the Economy Commission’s report the allowance for conveyance to children in the country would be. withdrawn, and if parents were poor they would have no chance of sending their children to school.

Mr Hughes stated that he paid 32s 6d a term for conveyance against the Government’s allowance of 15s, and now the Government was asking them to pay the additional 15s, and this would debar country children from attending the secondary schools. So far as the girls were concerned, there were 24 pupils from Tokarahi, 19 from Palmerston, and 15 from Kurow, and the majority of these would have to stop at home. It was penalising the country children against the town children. From what he had gathered, the Otago Education Board was with them in their protest against the withdrawal of the subsidy, and the teachers of both schools were concerned about the prospect of losing pupils. Mr L. Kelcher said they should support the Tokarahi branch. The country children were not being given the consideration due to them. In the town buses took the children to school when the extra walking would be beneficial to them. He heartily endorsed the views of the Tokarahi members that the country children should receive justice. Mr Cowan said the Government buses must run, and .if the pupils did not use them then the Government would lose more money. The opinion was expressed that the town buses would be cut out soon, and that they should never have been started. Mr Walker said the union had asked the Government to economise, and now what would be thought of members if they asked the Government to continue these services. The town buses would have to discontinue, and many other social services also, and country people would have to do their share. He had never been in favour of free secondary education, and if parents wanted to give a child further education after passing the Sixth Standard they should pay for it. They had gone too far so far as education was concerned, and the country was beginning to realise it now. Mr J. B. Chapman said that while scholarships were available he had sympathy with Mr Walker’s remarks. Messrs Cowan and Kelcher replieed that economies should not come from the children’s side, but up above. A resolution was carried protesting against any proposal to withdraw the present allowance made for the conveyance of children from country districts in order to attend secondary schools, such a proposal being considered too drastic, preventing the majority of country children receiving the, advantage of secondary school education, and also place them at considerable disadvantage compared to similar privileges enjoyed by town children. It was decided to forward the resolution to the Oaraaru Chamber of Commerce asking of its support. ANGLING The second largest trout taken from the Kakanui River so far this season was landed by Mr S. Pile, and is' now on view in Messrs J. Martyn and Co.’s window. The fish weighs 91b, and was taken with a Peveril of the Peak fly. The largest fish, weighing 121 b, was landed by Mr I. Chalmers some time ago. The river has received a thorough cleaning out as a result of the floods, and good fishing is looked forward to, KITCHEN EVENING In view of his forthcoming marriage, Mr P. Mulligan was the guest of the Meadowbank Lawn Tennis Club, of which he is a member, at a social evening held in the Bungalow Tea Rooms. There was a large gathering of members present. Mr Mulligan was the recipient of a very useful gift from the members in recognition of the esteem in which he is held. In making the presentation, Mr J. Robertson (president of the club) referred to the valuable services Mr Mulligan had rendered to both the club and*lawu tennis in general during the past several years. He wished him every happiness for the i j Mr Mulligan suitably acknowledged the gift. During the evening trophies were presented to the winners of, the various club competitions:—Handicap Doubles, H. Saunders and Miss D. Miller; Ladies’ Championship Cup, Miss D. Miller; Men’s Championship Cup, P. Mulligan.

SALMON FISHING Good salmon fishing is reported from the Waitaki where the fish_ are running well, and are in good condition. For the last few days salmon have been running in the river, and could be seen in very large numbers going up the river. The river is almost in perfect order for salmon fishing, and indications are that the fish will continue to run freely, thus providing excellent sport over the Easter holidays. Several good catches have so far . been made, the biggest fish weighing close on 301 b. COOK’S PICTURES The screening of “ French Leave ” at Tokarahi to-night should attract a large gathering of picture-goers, as this picture is an hilarious farce that leaves one gasping for breath, at the many side-splitting situations that are continually arising through a misunderstood wife, an elderly but amorous general and his staff. “ French Leave ” is a British Dominions picture, and has received good hearings wherever it has been shown. It will also be screened at Moeraki on Wednesday, Duntroon on Thursday, and Herbert on Saturday. CRICKET Union B v. Albion, at King George’s Park. —Arnott, Blair, Brightwell, Broad, Brooks, Gudsell, Hedges, Meikle, MTntosh. Senior, Stott. MAJESTIC PICTURES Janet Gaynor and Charles Farrell always give a good performance when they appear together. In their latest appearance together, to-day and to-night, in “Merely Mary Ann,” Fox picture, the romance between Charles Farrell as an eccentric composer and Janet Gaynor as a servant girl in the boarding house whore they live constitutes the motive of the story. Against a background of the dingy London establishment, and then of the Devonshire cottage, this romance carries the tale along, but with its rather unusual characterisations, will be found somewhat different from any of their earlier pictures together. Different, but no less romantic. Plans are filling rapidly at the Bristol for both Saturday and Monday nights. PERSONAL At yesterday’s meeting of the North Otago Farmers’ Union reference was made by the president (Mr R. Walker) to the death of Mr E, P. Lee and of Mr Joshua Dungey (Moeraki), and motions of sympathy with the relatives were carried in the, customary manner. ‘ Queen’s Hotel.—Mr W. Ferran (Wellington), Mr W. Brodil, Mr and Mrs A. G. Davidson (Christchurch), Mr S. Owen (Dunedin). New Club Hotel.—Mr R. Stewart, Mr R. Corsby, Mr and Mrs J. Scott (Dunedin), Miss H. Hassall, Miss M. Hassall (Timaru), Mr A. York (Auckland), Mr A. E. Jones (Blenheim). SCHOOL CRICKET The Waitaki-Timaru Boys’ High School match was resumed yesterday morning. After the effects of the roller had worn off, the wicket became lively, M'Dougall bumping badly. Paced with a deficit of 10G on the first innings, Waitaki commenced the second with Dick and Mathias. Mathias did not last long, but Dick and Kent formed a good partnership. Dick played a fine innings for his side, amassing 69 in good style. He mastered M'Dougall, but eventually fell to him in jumping out to an off-drive. Kent collected 34, but, as was the case in the first strike, was not confident. Paape was unlucky in being run out. M’Arthur, though troubled for a time by a bad body blow from M'Dougall, batted pluckily. M'Dougall’s bowling, proved too good for the Waitaki batsmen. He finished with the fine average of seven wickets for 63 runs. With 53 runs wanted to win. Timaru opened against accurate bowling. Souter was caught behind the wickets, Kirk lost his wicket going for a foolish run, and M'Dougall, in .making a reckless stroke, was caught in the slips. Ussher played correct cricket for 28 (undefeated), and with Blue secured the required runs, Timaru winning by seven wickets. Scores:— WAITAKI. First innings 185 Second Innings. R.
