WARDEN'S COURT A: sitting of the Oamaru Warden's C°urt_wasrheld yesterday morning before Mr-H. W .Bundle, S.M. The applications of J. R. Hill for water races from feandstone Creek came again before the warden.—Mr H. J. S. Grater explained it was left as a matter, for negotiation, and he understood Mr Wilson was to file an application > for half a head of water to enable the. scheme to be carried out. Ibis, however, had not been done.—The applications were adjourned- sine die to enable- to be completed. David Lauder Watson, of Waitaki Hydro, applied for an alluvial claim of one acre'in the Awakino River.—A n objection was lodged by Mrs Janet Marion Munro; who holds a renewable lease over the property.—Mr C. Zimmermann appeared for the objector. The applicant gave evidence of pegging out and posting notices on the claim, arid produced his miner's right. Access to this area was from the main highway, having to. travel a mile along the creek bed,' which was the ;boundary of Mrs Munro's property. He understood there was a surveyed road, along the-creek. There were several others' mining in the locality. Mrs Munro's sheep went down to the creek to water. ' ' Mr Zimmermann said Mr M'Kinnon had a watef race for irrigation below the claim, but he did not- receive any notice,_ and so 'did not lodge an objection. He was. anxious about his position. Continuing,, the applicant said, gravel, would be put through a sluicebox, arid it would not pollute the water, as it was washed gravel and not clay. • Ronald W. A. Munro, manager of his mother's farm, ■ stated that portion' of the land between.the. stream, arid the claim ,was used for grazing: purposes, and this land, was the best portion : of the r!uri. The, sheep went there for water, aV this-'was the most accessible portion, and miners going .up and down, disturbed the sheep. " Fences were being continually broken down, resulting in loss of stock. ■ Forty ewes" were let through the boundary fence, and were lost through travelling stock, arid 200 sheep got on to .the. road through.the gates" being left open. -That was what he feared in this case;. The difficulty was the question_ of access,.-I and he ■ asked for the protection of; stock, f. Access could be had by. a .stile, which kept the stock in. Mr- Bundle said the. land was -in . a mining district, and there was no good ground for refusing a grant. It must be impressed.on the applicant that,he must be careful to carry on his'mining operations and disturb the stock, as . little - as possible. The application, was granted, subject, to,.;the deposit of £2 10s. as security against any damage, done,, any holesiri the surface to.be filled in before abandonment. The receiver, of gold revenue (Mr Frank Bird) claimed £2 3s 4d for rent on extended claim No. 101, Kurow. Judgment was, given for the amount claimed and costs (£1 8s), and decree issued that the ,claim be- cancelled and license- forfeited owing to non-payment of rent for 60 days. - MAJESTIC THEATRE ." Best of Enemies," Fox Film's new romantic comedy, comes to-night and Friday. Buddy Rogers and .Marian , Nixon -have the featured roles.. In theme and treatment it is a play that has as timely, a significance an any recently seen. Against a background that depicts the .changes of time, the story details a romance between two youngsters whose personal lives are inextricably bound up with passing events. Their bringing up, their daily lives, belonging, as they do, to a familiar class of people, gives rise to a number of barriers that must be overcome.. The cast in support of Rogers and Miss Nixon is headed by the. veterans, Frank Morgan. Joseph Cawthorn, and Greta Nissen. The play has a musical background, directed by Arthur Lange, with a number of dance sequences under the direction of Sammy Lee. Amongst the supports is a reel showing the 1934 Melbourne. Cup. MEN'S GOLF On Saturday a Canadian foursome match will be played at the Awamoa links, for which players will have to arrange their own partners. DEFENCE RIFLE SHOOTING The Hampden Defence Rifle Club held its weekly shoot in fine weather, although a variable wind made shooting uncertain. 1 The following, are the scores: —

SHIPPING The Breeze will load at Oamaru this morning for Wellington, Picton, Wanganui. ami New Plymouth. The Wainui will load at Oamaru on December 5 for Wellington, Napier, and Gisborne.

LAWN TENNIS NOTES AND COMMENTS Lawn tennis in North Otago is Hearing its zenith for the season with the approach of representative matches and the annual Christmas tournament. The ideal weather experienced lately has given enthusiasts every opportunity of getting into top form, and the courts have been well frequented. Two representative matches will be played this Saturday. The North Otago team to play the Waitaki Sub-association at the Columba courts is a promising side, but a rearrangement of the order should be made according to the form shown this season. "The side is a comparatively young one and most of the players give promise of reaching greater heights in the tennis sphere. The Waitaki Sub-association is capable of bringing in a first-class team, as the tennis has reached a high standard during the last few seasons. An interesting match should be witnessed and much valuable experience should be gained by both sides. A team has also been selected to play the Waihao Sub-association at Waimate. This team has been selected from' the North Otago junior competition players, and, although the various clubs are nearly all represented, the team does not appear strong enough to beat' the northern representatives. It is not the win, however, that matters, and the match should be greatly beneficial to lawn tennis in the Waihao district, where visits from outside associations are much appreciated. - It is to be hoped that the North Otago Lawn Tennis Association's annual Christmas tournament will be accorded sound support from players this year. There will be several prominent South Island players competing, and the present indications point to a successful tournament. There is nothing quite like tournament play for theeyoung player, as- the experience and confidence gained at a tournament niay have the result of producing a champion. Apart from this, a tournament is always enjoyable, and playing in this year's tournament should be an excellent way of spending the holidays both for visiting and local players. SATURDAY'S MATCHES.

Somewhat surprising, was Meadowbank's win over Waimate last Saturday by nine matches to seven.' It-was not anticipated in view of their defeat by Awamoa somewhat easily the previous match, that .the local players Would score a win against the formidable northerners, but sound play all round saw the unexpected happen, and Meadowbank thoroughly deserved its win. Waimate won three of the men's singles, Healy and Hedges having a close fight for the decision. Meadowbank's win in; this section was secured by Hore, who beat. Lane in a three-set match. Miss Miller secured a very easy win over Miss D. Baikie, who has enough ability to secure more than one game in two sets against tlie local champion. Miss Rutherford lost to Miss Rathgen in an interesting game of three sets, which' went to 6—4 in each. Both Miss Slater and Miss Robins secured comfortable wins. The men's • doubles were ■• divided, South and Hedges losing to the strong pair, Whelan and Healy in a bright display, and Mullifan and Hore -winning fairly easily. Misses ). and E. Baikie played well and put up a very, creditable performance in beating a good pair in Misses Miller and Slater, 'by the odd game, and Misses Rathgen and M'Donald also did well to win their double 9—B. Waimate had thus won seven matches and Meadowbank five _ without the Mixed Doubles being taken into consideration, so that it looked a good position, for Waimate; However, Meadowbank came to light in the Mixed Doubles and won all four to give it the victory by nine sets to seven. The performance of every Meadowbank pair was highly meri-. toi'ious, and .their .wins were by margins of from four to six games. It would appear: that more practice in mixed doubles' play should be/ put' in by the Waimate players if. they want, to carry off the championship again. The. Awamoa B players put up tueir usual good fight against the A team in the other Senior, game last week, and annexed five ■ matches by good tennis.- I. Walton, gave a good display against Johnston in the first men's "single, and won many points by well-controlled chop shots, but Johnston was too severe, and experienced and won in straight sets. Familton was fully extended ,by J. C. Main in a match that lasted about 80 minutes. Main played well to take the match, to three sets, but Familton's. lasting power stood him in good stead. Maude nearly went down, to Henry in a closely-fought base line game, which - lasted nearly an hour and a-half. . Maude's; smashing '. improved" in the last, set, allowing him to winj -7—5; K. Walton was much too steady for Duthie, and lost only a game in. each: set;- Duthie was , not at top form, and made numerous mistakes at the net. iMiss. Armstrong' hasimproved aftoher holiday, arid canie within an ace of defeating Mrs Bradley. <. The other three A team.ladies won their Singles fair'y comfortably., Walton brothers, .were ,a. little unlucky in not defeating, Johnstone arid'Familton in a very bright display, the pair taking 'the match 9—7 in the third, set. Henry and Main, scored a splendid win over Maude and Duthie, •who were not at their best, but.this,did riot detract from the merit, of the win. The Ladies' Doubles wei'e shared, Misses Sutton and Wililams securing a good win over Misses Nicolls .and Hall. In the Mixed Doubles Johnston and Mrs Bradley had an easy win over K. Walton and Mrs Shartd, but I. Walton arid Miss Armstrong played well to beat Familton and Miss Nicolls. Maude and Miss Gibb defaulted, and Duthie and Miss Hall proved too good for Henry and Miss Williams. The B team was only 22 games behind the winners in the final tally.

In the junior section, Columba A secured a surprisingly easy win over Meadowbank —last year's winner of the grade- Meadowbank secured only six sets and was outclassed all round. Oamaru and Wesley fought a .match that could hardly have been closer. With the last match being, played. Wesley was leading by 12 to 11. being two games up as well.- The last Double resulted in a win for Oamaru 9—4, thus giving the home team a win by three games. Awamoa and Friendly Bay A had an enjoyable game, the Ba>; team winning by 15 sets to 9 sets. Pukeuri made no mistake of its win against Friendly Bay B, arid won every set. It would appear on present form that little can prevent Columba A from carrying off the junior banner this year. AROUND THE CLUBS. There is not a great deal to report from any of the clubs, as few challenge matches have been played. Players are more anxious to get in consistent practice than to play matches. At Awamoa J. Familton regained second place by defeating C. Maude 9—2. Familton went for his shots more than is usual with him, and concentrated chiefly on Maude's back-hand. Maude appeared to lack confidence in going for his shots and was not able to beat his consistent opponent. I. Walton, in a challenge match against J. C. Main, gained a step higher up the ladder when he won 9 —B in an interesting match. Both these players play a good game to watch, and always produce good tenuis. At Meadowbank two matches have been played in the Mens Championship Singles. Mulligan defeated Hore 9—5, and showed tha.t he is getting back to top form. Easton accounted for M'Donald 9 —6. The winner has an excellent eye, but is inclined to be erratic. At Oamaru Miss Hilary Sumpter, who is plaving excellent tennis this season, advanced to third place by deefating Miss Grace Wylde Browne 6 —3, 6 —5. WAITAKI SUB-ASSOCIATION The following have been selected to represent the Waitaki Sub-association against North Otago on Saturday:—L. M'Kinnon (Kurow), A. Maude CKurow), H. Walker (Haka Valley), T.

CRICKET NOTES ON THE GAME .. With the completion of last Saturday's matches Oamaru has risen to top place in the Senior Competition with 15 points, followed by Union with 10J points. Oamaru's live-point win over Union has given it a sound position for premiership honours, and the recent displays ot the team should make it difficult to dislodge from first place. At King George's Park much improved weather conditions prevailed for the continuation of the Oamaru-Union match. The wicket was just as sporting as on the previous week, and some of the deliveries were equally as difficult to pick up. The outfield wa« faster, however, and runs came more easily as a result. The remaining two Oamaru batsmen added only eight more runs to give their side a lead of 26 runs on the first innings. Tonkin, who was bowling very steadily, accounted for both wickets. Brown and Blair opened Union's second innings, which• opened badly when Blair was bowled with a good ball from Hendra. Beckin'gham joined Brown, and the pair settled down Jo careful cricket. Runs came steadily, if not quickly, against the good length bowling ot Hendra and Inder. Swinging in from the leg, Inder's good length deliveries were particularly difficult to score off, and finally Brown, in stepping m ton's wickets, was given out lbw to a straight ball that came off the pitch with much pace. Brown's innings of 27, following on his good first innings score, was a creditable performance. After he had gone a rot set in for .Union that the batsmen seemed powerless to stop. Zimmermann, who had been awaiting a turn with the ball, was brought on to relieve Inder at the south end. His first ball went down apparently wide on the on, and Beckingham stepped across to play a defensive shot. To his consternation the ball swung in considerably to scatter his stumps. From then on thes Uniou batsmen failed to get set. M Donald was out to a straight ball from Mmmermann when he tried ,a somewhat wild bit, the ball spreading his stumps. Maddigan secured five runs before being well caught by Watson in the covers, and Robertson gave Zimmermann an easy catch in the sups off Hendra. Tonkin and Spear offered little resistance to Zimmermann, but Robbie and Moikle made a short stand before Meikle was smartly stumped by Jones. M'Callum did not last long, and the innings closed for the small total ot 85 runs. The Oamaru bowling was very steady, and the three bowlers tried did excellently, Zimmermann finishing with the splendid figures of six wickets tor 17 'runs. The Oamaru fielding,, though fairlyi reliable, was not as good as ra the previous week. The collapse of the Union batsmen was- chiefly due to the fact that they did not wait for the right ball to score off: Oamaru's second innings opened very disastrously also, and the wickets began to fall so quickly that an exciting finish looked probable. Jones, who opened, with Uttley, was run out early, Uttley put his leg in front to a ball from Tonkin that appeared to beat him all the way. With the coming of .Zi.mmermann, Oamaru's fortunes began to take on a better tone, but he lost two ot ms partners—Calder and Watsqn—through their being run out. Neither batsman backed up as he should have, and it was chiefly due to a good throw by Brown and a smart piece of M Galium that both wickets fell. Hendra was another batsman who did not make many runs, as he was troubled by Tonkin and bowled with five runs to his credit. Zimmermann went for the runs in great style and hit eight : boundaries to give Oamaru the win, his contribution being 41 not out. lonkin again bowled very well, and is at the height of his form. Maddigan did. not trouble the batsmen greatly, find seldom looked dangerous. Blair bowled well, and had Zimmermann in difficulty. He should, it appeared, have replaced Maddigan earlier than he did. The match was interesting throughout, and was well fought right to the finish. It was a more exciting finish than was anticipated after Union's second strike. ~-.,' • V ■ The match between. Albion and School also produced a good finish, a five-point victory to either side hanging in the balance to the last ball of the match. As it was, Albion gained a three-point win on the first innings. Albion continued its strike of 145 runs for seven wickets, the last few batsmen adding 21 runs, due chiefly to a careful 13 not out by Jacobs. School, in its,second innings, showedmuch improved form and scored 175 for the loss of eight wickets. Mackay. and Blakely gave their side a useful start, both batting well to get past the 20 mark. Kerr added six before being beaten.by Moore. Gowland, Capstick, and Gordon, all showed signs of staying and reached double figures. When Adams and Wilson become associated in a seventh-wicket'.'. partnership, some "very, bright cricket was. witnessed and the' fuhacame quickly. '. Adams showed many useful strokes to. compile 44, and Wilson was sound in his strike of 21, both batsinen being undefeated. Moore was the outstanding bowler for Albion,' and bowled very well to secure four■■.wickets for 32 runs. The School captain declared with the total at 175, and Albion M-as left 107 runs to get in about an hour and aquarter. Jacobs and. Moore opened the batting, but the partnership was not Jong sustained, Moore being caught by Kerr. G. Geddes did not last long, and two wickets were down for eight runs. This altered the complexion of the game, ami an interesting finish looked probable. However, Taylor joined Jacobs, and the pair carried oh in excellent style—Taylor going for the runs while Jacobs kept his wicket intact. These two batsmen took the total to 87, when Kerr took" a good catch oft' a hard drive from Taylor. Taylor had compiled 55 runs by bright, forceful batting, and his innings was an invaluable one to his side. Two runs later Jacobs was beaten by a fast ball from Mackay. H. Geddea and Firth lost thenwickets cheaply, and Albion was left in a bad position. Three of its batsmen were absent, and Palmer and Hunt were left to play out time with only five runs to get for a'five-point win. School made desperate efforts to dismiss one of the batsmen to secure a five-point win, and both sides sportingly played an extra over. However, neither the runs were scored nor the wicket taken, and the match resulted in a first innings' win for Albion. Mackay bowled very well for School on both days of the match, and Bhmdell was the most successful bowler on the day. Mackay took seven wickets for 27 '• runs in Albion first innings, which was a meritorious performance. The representative team to play an Otago eleven at Christmas time is a strong side, and it is to be hoped that most of those selected will be able to make the trip to Dunedin. The batting of the team on this season's form appears a little weak, but the bowling strength is excellent, and the fielding should reach representative standard. The selectors have made a good choice, taking as a guide experience, past performances, and this season's play.

KAKANUI P.W.M.U, The monthly meeting of the Kakanui PW.M.U was held in the Kakanui Sunday School Hall, Mrs J. J. Maffey presiding over a good attendance. The meeting was opened with a hymn.

MAGISTRATE'S COURT At'the weekly sitting of the Oamaru Magistrate's Court, before Mr H. W. Bundle, S.M., all the civil claims called were settled out of court. Mr C. F. E. Watson proceeded on complaint against Thomas Watson, of Pembroke, for maintenance.—Mr A. Hamilton appeared for the complainant and Mr H. J. S. Grater for the defendant. After hearing the evidence of the complainant,- Mr Bundle declined to make an order, and adjourned the case sine die for settlement between the parties. ROWING Conditions were moderately good for the rowing of the semi-final of the Novice Fours, a fairly strong southerly wind -helping to make the times exceptionally fast. In the first race Hastie took th« lead from the start, but after four lengths M'lntosh settled down, and, rowing steadily, managed to gain slightly on his opponent. On passing the halfway mark Hastie, with his steady drives, gradually pulled away from M'lntosh to win comfortably by a good half length. The race between Hollands and Morris was well matched.

NURSES' DAY At the conclusion of the Great War, nurses wishing to establish a national memorial to- those who were lost on board the transport Maruette in the Mediterranean in 1916, and to those who died during the influenza epidemic, decided to collect money to found a nurses' memorial, the interest of which would be expended in assisting nurses in times of sickness or difficulty. The committee of the fund reports that there are some 26 annuitants who urgently require help. They are not always the same persons, but, as one pernon is able to go without assistance, another takes her place and receives temporary help till she in turn is able to manage for herself, otherwise

these nurses would be in serious distress. Owing to the sharp fall in the- rat* ej interest the committee has-been compelled to ask the 6taffs of hospitals to make some definite effort each year to augment the depleted income." Last year a collection was taken up by the nurses at the Public Gardens, and a valuable contribution was sent 'to the committee. It is proposed this year, that the effort take the form of a street collection tomorrow, with sale of badges on the same lines as Poppy Day, and "to hand twothirds of the result to the general fund and to retain one-third to be kept aa a fund to be used for the benefit of local nurses who may. during their training, require some help, or for any purpose that may be thought desirable for their benefit as nurses. WAITAKI GIRLS' HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL SWIMMING SPORTS The annual swimming sports of the Waitaki Girls' High School were held in the school baths yesterday afternoon. The gloriously sunny weather was ideal. for the swimming and a large attendance of spectators spent a very enjoyable afternoon in witnessing swimming of a very high standard. . The programme of events was attractively varied, and every race provided keen competition. The fact that each event counted for the interhouse competition aroused keen enthusiasm amorig the girls, the various houses being denned by pennants and house colours. The Senior Championship of the school created keen competition, the result being in doubt until the final event. The champion was found in Eunice Brown, who put up an excellent all-round performance. Dorothea Thomson was run-ner-up after. swimming well throughout. In the intermediate champion,. Ruby Jarvis, was found an outstanding swimmer. The sister of Jarvis, the Dominion champion swimmer, Misg Jarvis gave a meritorious ' performance,. displaying' an excellent style and great ability in the water. The Junior Championship went to M. Amies by a close margin. Four- records were lowered during the afternoon. In the 75 Yards Breaststroke Senior Championship Eunice Brown lowered the existing record by 2 3-ssec, the previous record having been held by Daphne Crawshaw. Dorothy Vernor lowered the record for the 25 Yards Freestyle Senior Open event by two-fifths of a second. Ruby Jarvis was successful in breaking two records. She lowered the records established by Joyce Tait lor the Intermediate 33 1-3 Yards Backstroke championship by five seconds and the 25 yards Freestyle Intermediate Championship by one second. The times throughout were good and demonstrated the high standard of swimming attained. The, arrangements tor the sports were in the capable hands of the staff, the judge of the diving being Mr M. K. M'Culloch. ; At the conclusion of the sports Dr -A. Douglas (chairman of the board of governors) presented the trophies, and congratulated. the swimmers on the high standard achieved.
