HAPPENINGS AT NIREAHA.
The annual meeting of the Nireaha Tennis Club was held recently before a very satisfactory muster of supporters. The president, Mr H. W. J. Pryde, occujhed the chair. Officers re-elected were: Patron, Air J. Dumbleton ; president, All* H. AV. J. Pryde; club captain, Air O. B. B. Lozell. At a previous meeting tenders were invited for improvements to the present courts. After much discussion it was decided to accept the tender of Laykold, Ltd., AVellington, and they will be coming up to fulfil their contract. It is hoped that an early start will thus be made and as public support is increasing rapidly a successful season is anticipated. The meeting decided to hold the opening day on Labour Day.
The many friends of Air Jack Hawkins will be jileased to learn that he is making a good 'recovery from liis recent break-down.
Air Norman AYoodley, of Nireaha, has found it necessary to enter the Alasterton hospital for treatment. All* Al. N. Suter was a visitor to Daimevirke and Napier recently.
