The prize winners were Mrs. Barlow and Mr. W. Russell, and the consolation prizes were awarded to Mrs. Jones and Mr. Hammersley. Y.P.C. A Young People’s Club has been formed in Hinuera and indications are that this new organisation will prove popular. Mr. D. Mclsaac guided the young people at their inaugural meeting, at which the following committee was elected: Messrs. D. K. Mclsaac (chairman pro tem), R. Warrender (secretary), C. Pond (treasurer), A. Swan, R. Settle, J. Conder, Misses P. Kennedy, M. Bain and E. Swan. The objects of the club are the promotion of social evenings and parties. It was decided that at the next social evening all j members were to come dressed as children. The idea proved to be very popular, and a big attendance is exi i- Miss Oates Honoured. ]

A presentation to Miss Marjorie Oates, on the eve of her marriage, was made by- members of the Hinuera Tennis Club on Wednesday. The ceremony was held on the courts, and there was a very good attendance, over which Mr. D. Mclsaac presided. A Yankee tournament helped to fill in the afternoon, but owing to lack of time the competition was undecided.

During the afternoon all present gathered near the pavilion and Mr. Mclsaac presented Miss Oates with a case of silver fish-cutlery suitably inscribed. In handing over the gift Mr. Mclsaac said that the gathering ing was a gesture of goodwill towards one of their members, Miss Oates, who was shortly to be married to Mr. G. Reisterer, an exmember of the club. In loosing Miss Oates the club was loosing its foremost lady player. As all knew Miss Oates had been club champion for a number of years, and had brought honour to the club by being selected to represent East Waikato for several seasons. They were very sorry to lose Marjorie, as she was known to everyone, as the club was weak in lady players and could ill afford to lose its “ king pin.” (Applause.) However, he hoped that what was their loss would be another club’s gain, for all sincerely hoped that Miss Oates would still find time to play tennis. Since the inception of the club some ten years ago, the name of Oates had been closely and prominently associated with their organisation, and members of the family had been mainstays both on and off the courts. It gave them great pleasure to recognise this fact in a tangible manner and on behalf of members he wished Miss Oates and her partner, Mr. G. Reisterer, health, happiness and prosperity in the game of life. Musical honours were accorded, and Mr. W. H. Oates briefly returned thanks on behalf of his sister.
