ANNUAL MEETING SOUND POSITION There was a large gathering of fanciers at tho annual meeting of the Poverty Bay, Kennel Club, held recently.

The club started the year with a credit balance of £22 19s, and after donating a. number of cash special prizes and purchasing several new cups, the club at the end of the year showed a credit balance of £27 6s. The balance sheet showed the total assets of the club at £43 10s, quite a sound position. Tho thanks of the club were extended to (he following for financial and personal help during the year: Mrs. F. Barker, Miss E. Barker. Messrs. O. .?. Burl, F. Valentine, J. McKee, S. E. Oillingham, B. Stevens, and Bert "Lowe.

A valuable addition to the equipment of King's College, Auckland, will be made as the result of a decision of the governing body, tho St. John's College Trust Board, to proceed immediately with tho erection of a swimming bath at a cost of approximately £4OOO. I New Zealand must study the system of inclusive tours which have become very popular in the northern hemisphere before the Dominion can hope to attract u fair proportion of the (ravelling population of Europe. Such is the opinion' of Mr. G. Schmidt Piza'rro, a Parisian journalist, who is touring New Zealand with the object of obtaining material for articles' which he contributes to American and European newspapers and periodicals and for moving picture scenarios. For the .attractions of tho country itself and for the manner in which visitors are looked after in the Dominion, he has nothing but praise.
