WAITATI.

August 19.—A largely attended meeting of those favourable to the formation of a football club was held in the Saratoga House, Waitati, on Saturday evening. Although now rather late iv the 6eason, it was decided to form aclub at once, and so afford members an opportunity to obtain practice and an insight into the new rules and regulations of the game. The following office-bearers and committee were elected :—President, Mr J. , Colehan; vice presidents, Meesrd K. B. Fergusson and A. KilEatriek; captain. A. Wilson; deputy-captain, J". ounesß; secretary and treasurer, A. Basket; match committee, Messrs A. Wilson. Stauley filler, and J. Souness. The president has very kindly placed a suitable ground at the disposal of the club, where practice matches will be held every Saturday afternoon. As thera are a few weeks of the current season yet to run the newly-formed ciab anticipate playing one or two matches with the neighbouring clubs, so that there is every probability of a good team being brought together, and they will doubtless give a I good account ,of themselves next season. The club has a membership of 30 to start with. Concert.—A concert and dance iB to be hald in the Good Templars' Hall on .Saturday evening. The Eroceeds are in aid of the district school prize fund.. ohool concerts hitherto have always been well attended, and as the programme put forth on this occasion is a very good one, there will no doubt be a bumper house.
