OHAI NOTES

(From Our Correspondent.) The members of the Ohai Tennis Club held a bazaar in the Public Hall last Friday in order to raise funds for the laying of a* new court. About £2O was cleared, which was fairly good considering the number that attended and also the slack time which is prevailing in the coal industry. The stall-holders were as follows: —Sweets and cakes, Mesdanies Martin and Bowman;' fruit-salad, Mrs Harris; shooting gallery, Messrs Hornby and Bird; nail driving, Mr Curow; bran tub, Misses Porteous and Evans; children’s competitions, Mr Curow and Mr Fordyce; chain stepping competition, Mr Gardiner and Mr Durkin; candle lighting competition, Mrs Martin and Mrs Kitto.

A meeting of the Ohai Domain Board was held in the Public Hall on November 30. Mr A. E. Barnes acted as chairman in the absence of Mr H. Bruce, who was unable to attend owing to illness. The secretary, Mr E. W. -Hunt, was instructed to write thanking Thomas Bros., Invercargill, for a donation of shrubs for the grounds. Mr D. Cameron was granted grazing rights for one horse, the term of lease to be at the discretion of the grounds committee. A general meeting of the Ohai Football Club was held on Wednesday, December 3, Mr D. Cameron presiding over a poor attendance of members. It was resolved that the filling*of the holes and the levelling of the surface of the present playing area be left in the hands of Mr Cameron and the secretary, Mr A. V. Robershaw. At the recent Trinity College of Music Examinations held in Invercargill, Misses Alma Guttery and Elizabeth Birrell were successful in securing passes.
