Ngapara was penalised in a dangerous position and Easton gonled, bringing the scores to: Ngapara 17, Old Boys 13.

Everything depended on the kick nt goal, and luck was with Easton, the ball hitting the upright to bounce over the crossbar. The final scores were:—

Grant found the poets with the kick. Maheno 13, KurowPirates 6. The Maheno backs and forwards combined in the best passing movement of the day, carrying play right to the home side's line, but a penalty brought relief.

Newlands broke away with the ball at hie toes and kicked the ball over the line for Sim to touch down for the. final try. A. Newlanda converted. The game ended with the scores: Maheno 18 points. Kurow-Pirates .... 6 points. Mr Dewess was the referee. EXCELSIOR v. DUNTROON.

This was a very closely-contested game, and the scores, Excelsior eight points, Duntroon six points, was a fair indication of the respective merits of the teams. Fast, open play was witnessed in the latter stages, and some nice passing bouts made the game interesting and lively. In this respect Excelsior was on top, the Blue backs combining better than their opponents. In the scrummaging Duntroon received more than its share of the ball, but was unable to take advantage ol the opportunities presented. There was a good attendance of the public, and the weather conditions were excellent for Rugby. The ground was also in good order. For Excelsior. M'lvor and Stewart each scored, and Easton converted one. M'Kenzie was responsible for a try for Duntroon, while a penalty goal accounted for the other three points. JUNIORS. Old Boys 29, Maheno nil.

PLUNKET SOCIETY

COUNTRY SUB-BRANCHES

S.P.C.A.

YOUNG FARMERS' CLUB

WAITAKI-HILDERTHORPE

A meeting of the country sub-branches of the North Otago Phmket Society, convened by Mrs A. Gardiner, of Tokarahi, was held in the Tokarahi Hall to discuss the country's share of the expense of the society, and a scheme for the finances ol the society as a whole. The Tokarahi, Kurow, Duntroon, Ngapara, and Herbert sub-branches were well represented, 40 delegates being present. They were addressed by Mrs T. A. Munro (president of the society), Mr Charles Hedges (president of the Oamaru Rotary Club and chairman of the Plunket Advisory Board), Mrs A. Gardiner (president of the Tokarahi Sub-branch), and Mr Glen (treasurer of the society), and a general discussion followed. The Advisory Board and Rotary Club wished to place the society's finance on a sound footing, and accordingly the Rotary Club was canvassing the town and the Advisory Board the country for annual subscribers. The question of interference with country quotas wa6 fully gone into, and on the motion of Mrs Gardiner, seconded by Mrs Hore (Tokarahi), it was agreed that where brandies had nlready collected their quotas for 1936-37 all that could be expected of them now would be to call upon any who had not already subscribed for the purpose of increasing their quotas; and in districts where quotas had not been collected, the collectors in that district, who had been asked to act, should receive every assistance from the local committee in doing their work.

It was also agreed that as long as any sub-branch could collect in any one year a sum equal to or in excess of its present quota, it should not be called upon to send in any additional funds to the society. A hearty vote of thanks was passed to Messrs Hedges and Glen, and thanks were also expressed by the visitors to the Tokarahi Committee ladies for the afternoon tea provided and for their hospitality.

MONTHLY MEETING There was a good attendance of members at the monthly meeting of the North Otago Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, which was held in the vicarage. Mr T. Green submitted a report of the proceedings at the annual meeting of the Federated Societies which he had attended in April. A vote of thanks was passed to Mrs Swindley for a generous gift of £5 towards the work in North Otago. Mention was made of the number ol dogs that are to be seen without collars, and it was decided to advise people to be more careful about this matter, as a dog without a collar was hard to identify it A letter was received from the Christchurch Society stating that members of that branch had several times lately witnessed the lethal chamber in action, nnd were satisfied that the method was a good one if the chamber were properly operated. The local inspector, Mr Green, expressed the same opinion. The inspector reported having attended to two cases during the month.

The Waitaki-Hilderthorpe Young Farmers' Club held a field day at Mr J. B Chapman's farm. Waitaki, when Mr Dosser delivered a very instructive address on internal parasites in sheep. There was a large gathering present of farmers and members of the Young Farmers' Clubs from Waitaki-Hilderthorpe and Papakaio districts. A number of Waitaki High School boys, under Mr B. B. Blackmore, attended and took a keen interest in the lecture. Mr Dosser made a thorough search through a small mob for the bloodless lamb, which was a sure sign of parasitic infestation. He explained fully the parasites found in the sheep's stomach and intestines, and slaughtered the selected lamb to show the colonies of parasites in the stomach, intestines and lung. He dealt fully with the cures recommended, and dosed 120 hoggets with speed and ease. On behalf of the club. Mr J. B Chanman (president) thanked Mr Dosser for the instructive and interesting afternoon they had spent.

GENERAL NEWS The usual weekly stock sale will be held at the Waiareka sale yards to-morrow, present entries including fat ewes and fat cows and heifers. Further entries are invited. Mr A. W. Woodward (secretary of the North Otago Farmers' Union) has received advice that Mr W. J. Poison (president of the New Zealand Farmers' Union) will be unable to visit Oamaru, and will therefore be unable to address a meeting at Enfield that was being arranged by the local executive. On Saturday afternoon the Mayor (Mr Cooney), accompanied by the borough foreman (Mr K. M'Lean), and gas manager (Mr J. H. Grenfell) made a visit of inspection to the Railway Department's quarry at Waihao Gorge, near Waimate. The quarry is being opened, and appearances indicate that ample supplies of suitable stone will be available for foreshore protection works at Oamaru. The stone is being railed by the department, and will be used for the protection of the department's property and the municipal gasworks. The rails are already laid along the foreshore at the gasworks, and the work should be in full swing in the course of this coming week. Thirteen degrees of frost were recorded at the Oamaru Public Gardens on Saturday morning. This was the most severe frost so far this winter, exceeding the previous morning's frost by half a degree. Yesterday steady light rain set in, with mild temperatures, and the change will be very welcome to the country districts, where in some parts there has been a decided shortage of water. The Oamaru Badminton Club is to be congratulated on arranging a visit to Oamaru on Wednesday of Mr J. F. Devlin, the world-famous badminton champion, who was six times champion of England. Matches will be played at Oamaru between Devlin and Neale (New Zealand champion), R. Hull (New Zealand Doubles title-holder with Neale). and M. Wilson (ex-New Zealand champion).

Rovers attacked from the bully-off, but offside play spoilt the effort, and Waimate invaded Rovers' circle, a penalty corner for obstruction resulting. A further attack by Waimate looked dangerous, but offside played saved the position. Rovers then set up an attack, Leonard clearing, and Churchill took the ball along the line, and a good centre followed. Finder went through for Rovers, but hit too hard. a 25 yards bully resulting. Waimate set up an attack, London and Leonard being prominent, but Frew, in goal, saved. Rovers took play to Waimatc's territory, M'Donald sending in a good centre, a long corner resulting. M'Donald again sent the ball into a handy position, but Davis cleared. Play later went to Waimate's circle, and Moore had an unsuccessful shot at netting. Davis sent Waimate away on the offensive, but Brain again sent the home team back. Finder went into the circle with the ball, but this time Stevens proved safe, and cleared. Half time sounded with no score. Waimate attacked from the outset for Young to bring relief. Hedges put Rovers in a good position, but Davis again cleared, and London transferred play to the other end of the field. Brain gave sticks, and London received the ball from the free hit, to send in a hard shot, but Frew saved well. It appeared as if Waimate would score, but Moore brought relief by taking the ball through. Hedges was also prominent, but offside play spoilt the movement. M'Leod then went up the line, and centred nicely to Harvey, who piloted the ball into the net. Waimate 1, Rovers nil. Play then became very fast, each side attacking in turn. After a time Leonard went through and registered Waimate's second goal. Waimate maintained the pressure for a period, but Hedges and Moore returned to tbe attack.

WOMEN'S MATCHES The final match of the first round for the B Cup was played at Maheno on Saturday between Pirata A and Maheno A, resulting in a draw, each side scoring one goal. The game started at a fast pace, as both teams were very fit, and good hockey was witnessed. From the bully Maheno attacked strongly, the forwards combining well. The right-wing gave some good passes to the centre, but the good work of the centre-half for Pirata held the Maheno team. Pirata launched a strong attack, the ball going to the right-wing, who gave her centre a splendid pass, but, unfortunately, a knock on spoilt what looked like a certain score. From a free hit Maheno once more took the attack to Pirata's twenty-five. The centre-half passed to the right-wing, who got the ball on the full and sent a good pass to the centre, who was in position to goal. Maheno 1, Pirata nil. Both teams played good, clean hockey, and each tried to improve its position, but the spell ended with no further score. The game became very fast in the second spell, the ball travelling from one end of the field to the other. A free hit was awarded Pirata for obstruction in its twenty-five. Ihe left-wing took a splendid pass and centred for the inside-right (G. Munro) to score. Both teams worked hard to gain the lead. The half for Pirata broke up some good movements by the Maheno forwards. There was no. further score, the game ending: Maheno 1 goal, Pirata 1 goal. , , , Mr J. H. Mushet controlled the gacie. In the match between Waimate and Maheno B the former secured a win by 5 goals to 1. Both teams took the held with 10 players, and, considering the Maheno players were much lighter than their opponents, they did very well. Waimate played its best game to date, the forwards showing good positional play and passing well. Had it not been tor the good defence of the Maheno goalie, the score would have been much greater. Goals for the winners were obtained by Mrs Purvis (2). Miss Foley (2), and Miss Montcricf (1), and for Maheno Miss L-. A. Oir goaled. The final scores were. Waimate 5 goals, Maheno 1 goal. Mr J H.

But an amusing ghost (also played by Robert Donat) who haunts the place—not a mean ghost who likes frightening people—refuses to be left behind when the castle is shipped to America. And even spooks have their romantic moments, as this story proves when ho pursues the American heiress, who carted his home across the Atlantic.
