-— . . The Board of Governors of the John M'Glashan College met in First Church Hall yesterday afternoon. Mr T. C. Ross was in the chair, and welcomed Mr R. G. C. M‘Nab, the newly-appoipted headmaster. Mr M'Nab commenced his duties at the college when the school reopened on Tuesday. Appreciation was expressed of Mr Dunning’s work as acting principal till Mr M'Nab could take over the duties. The board also recorded its appreciation of the Rev. H. A. Mitchell's kindness in conducting the senior Scripture lessons during that period. The board members expressed great regret that Miss M'Callum found it necessary to withdraw from the board’s service, and the board recorded its warm appreciation of the services she had rendered to the college during the past 13>1 years. Miss H. M. I. Sutcliffe has been appointed to carry on her work for the rest of this term. Miss Sutcliffe is a fully qualified Training College teacher, and the board is fortunate in securing her services at such short notice.

At a committee meeting of the National Coursing Association of New Zealand Mr B. S. Irwin presided over a large attendance of delegates, representing the various clubs throughout New Zealand. The minutes of the previous committee meeting were read and confirmed. An apology for absence was received from Mr J. Gold, of Balclutha. A point strongly stressed was that the secretaries of all clubs should submit programmes of events to the association for approval before each meeting and also within seven days after the meeting had been held. Mr T. M. Connors made reference to rulings in the present rule book, which were not worded to meet cases which might arise. He was strongly supported by Mr B. S. Irwin and H. Gallien.
