A final meeting of the Managing Committee of the Society was held at the G-rosvenor on Saturday evening. Mr D. Maclean, President, in the Chair. The arrangements for the sports, and for the concert were reported to have been made satisfactorily, and those present resolved to assist in check and money-taking at both sports and concert. Ad extra event was added to the programme at the request of Mr Ansley, viz., a 3-legged race, for which that gentleman offered a prize of £2 2s.

The procession to the Sports grounds will start from the Grosvenor Hotel to* morrow morning at 10.30 marching on feet to North street corner, where conveyances will be in waiting to take the officers of the Society to _ the ground. The walking procession is necessarily dispensed with, as the S.C. Amateur Club’s ground on which the sports are to be held is situated some distance from the town, ks the weather appears to have settled now, and the Mayor has proclaimed Wednesday a public holiday as well as to-morrow, a large attendance may be confidently expected. The Scotch Concert in the Theatre Royal to-morrow evening, the programme of which appears in another column, is certain to attract a large audience, and wo have no hesitation in predicting for it a success never before achieved by an amateur concert in Timaru, for among the vocalists there are some persons whose names are “ familiar in our mouths as household words,” and the programme is a most judiciously selected one.
