f MAJESTIC THEATRE

“ The Hayseeds ” type of entertainment is quite apart from the ordinary run •f production, inasmuch that it is part »nd parcel of our every-day life in the Dominion. We hear the homely colonial drawl and slang of our every-day speech in Oamaru. Thus it is a delight to listen to. “The Hayseeds” might - well have lived in our country, and the uproarious adventures of their visit to the city might have happened in one of our own cities as in Sydney. Opportunities are also given for some clever and original ballet, dancing and chorus work in which the J. C. Williamson stage technique is fully maintained. The comedy becomes irresistible when the whole family visits the city, the audience being kept in a continuous state of laughter throughout these ; episodes. This attraction! shows finally to-day at 2.15 and to-night. “ The Hayseeds Band ” of 10 performers will also appear tonight. r ' ■ WAIAREKA SALE;

There,,are large entries for the Waiareka sale to -he held to-morrow. These Include various classes of Romney ewes, prime fat wethers. Border Leicester owes, and several lines of lambs. A threequarter shaft rubber-tyred'dray gig will ■lso be offered.

Brian Kilrby presided at a-meeting of. the Oamaru Amateur Swimming Club, at which arrangements.for the forthcoming carnival were discussed.

It was agreed to include in the pi’Or gramme the McCulloch Cup races (the Medley and the 100 Yards Freestyle), and also the Herbert Smith Trust Cup races (Beginners’ Breaststroke and; Life-saving Competition). The Otago' Centre advised that the arrangements for the. proposed visit of the Australian swimmers could not be completed in time, and the tour had therefore been unavoidably cancelled. The resignation of Miss E. Crawshaw as lady captain was accepted with regret, and the secretary was instructed to forward a letter of appreciation to Miss Crawshaw for her services to the club.

Speakers pointed out that this organisation was free from the Communistic element, Affiliation did not necessarily mean that, the Oamaru Association ■would be bound by decisions of' the National Union, #as the constitution provided for autonomous control. The treasurer reported on the finances, which showed a small credit balance. It was unanimously decided that the first grant from the association’s funds should be a contribution to the Boys’ Employment Committee, in recognition of the excellent work being achieved by the committee. The secretary was authorised to forward £l. ' '' . , Copies of the Clarion Call, the official newspaper of the National Union, were distributed. Sixteen new members were elected. The secretary said he was pleased to see unemployed men joining the' association, as it showed that the many small privileges obtained, and the work done in promoting the interests of unemployed men were being appreciated.

At the conclusion of the parade the president (Mr Seville) thanked the public 1 for its support, and the members of the North Otago Kennel Club who had not only given valuable advice and assistance, but had helped with the conduct of the parade and as exhibitors. It was the Timaru Club’s wish to reciprocate by sending large numbers of entries to the ribbon parade to be held at Oamaru on April 7. Sir W. Henderson (Dunedin) judged all the classes, Mr M. F. Woodward (Oamaru) was marshal, and Dr Smith Morton, Messrs G. C. Hayhurst, S. Browne, and I. Petrie acted as stewards.
