SPORTING

NOTES BY SIR MODRED.

Acceptances for the South Canterbury J.C’s. meeting (June 15) are due to-morrow.

Entries for the Ashburton County Racing Club’s Winter fixture are due to-morrow.

Prince Pombal has taken the place of N.Z’s. iron horse, First Acre, in Sydney.

War Buoy will have three chances at N.Z.M.T.C. August races to qualify for N.Z. Cup.

Trainer J. T. Jamieson is taking a black Nigger Minstrel —Dabolo colt to Sydney.

Crack pacer War Buoy has won ■fourteen races in his sixteen contests.

On Parade, who recently raced well in Auckland, is a son of Grand Knight (dead).

Successful hurdler, Travelling Agent, is a half-brother to good High Commissioner.

Grand Knight (imp.) is the sire of On Parade, Sir Simper, and other smart gallopers.

J. T. Jamieson takes a number of Maoriland-bred yearlings to Sydney on returning there.

A warm fancy probably went under when the French filly Mesa was beaten in Oaks Stakes.

The success of On Parade at Auckland on Saturday was probably expensive in some quarters.

Under single-pool wagering the Auckland R.C. Winter meeting investments were down £3625.

It was pleasing to note that Horowhenua won a race for Mr H. Rama at A.R.C. meeting.

With single-pool wagering at Ashburton T.C. meeting the machine returns were up £3470 10/-.

According to medical advice B. H. Brodie will' not be fit to ride in public for some weeks yet.

Haakon, winner of the Winter Steeplechase at Ellerslie, won the Hunt Cup there in 1934 and 1935.

Double winner at Auckland last week, Haakon, is a seven-year-old gelding by Valkyrian.

Impossible has returned to the care of A. S. Ellis and will race for his stable at Timaru this week.

Two of the four placed performers in N.Z. Sapling Stakes (pacing) were got by Southland stallions.

In the event of Colombo racing at Timaru, A. E. Ellis will ride, otherwise Ellis will be on Metal Bird.

The well-known galloper Davolo has returned to the tracks at Riccarton looking well.

Australian jockey “Togo” Johnstone will be blamed again if he rode Mesa in the Oaks Stakes contest.

After winning the One Thousand Guineas, French filly Mesa was left in England to prepare for the Oaks.

owing to the increasing number of undesirables frequenting racecourses, the N.Z. Trotting Association has decided to advise clubs to prosecute where a warning had previously failed.

E. J. Ellis’s South Canterbury jumping pupil, Rasouli put up a great fight in the Campbell Hurdles at Auckland on Saturday, under 11.1, when beaten by a short head with Eric Mackie in the saddle.

Now that he has won the Coronation Cup (llmiles) in England, the Derby •winner of last season, Windsor Lad, by Blandford, may be retired. He is already booked up for his first stud season. His present owner paid £50,000 for the Derby winner.

In referring to Royal Limond’s recent successful visit to Southland quite a number of scribes have overlooked the fact that she finished second to Dunmure in the “Grand National of the South,” Riverton R.C’s. Great Western Steeplechase, prior to accounting for the Riverton Steeplechase on Easter Monday.

North Island mentor H. E. Russell has departed for Sydney taking with him the three-year-old colt Golden Chance and the two-year-old Golden Treasure. The promising brothers are by Lackham from Megalo and therefore claim full relationship to brilliant but unruly galloper Golden Wings.

The Hawera trainer, J. Fryer, who has been successful with Stanchion in the Great Northern Hurdle race this year, has a good record in jumping events at Ellerslie. He had previously trained two winners of the Great Northern Steeplechase in Bercola and Copey.

Sydney trainer G. Price has sent Senior (Chief Ruler—First Blow) back to Mr T. H. Lowry. Senior won two races at Randwick early in the season, but his subsequent form was disappointing. At his last start he was down to 7.7 in the Dangar Handicap.

Commenting upon the possibilities of New Zealanders going to Australia for next season, the well-known critic “Pilot” says:—“New Zealand’s good horses invariably pay their way here, but horses not good enough to win in the Dominion are rarely worth sending to Australia. Some that have visited Sydney have represented undue optimism on the part of Dominion owners.”

It transpires that in backing On Parade for the Fitzroy Handicap at Ellerslie on Saturday at 8.10 hundreds, if not thousands, of backers, away from Auckland,' were taking a chance they did not dream of. The son 6f Grand Knight w r as really handicapped at 9.10 and this weight was in some way not explained mutilated in transmission, with the result that in Wellington and all South Island centres On Parade was rushed as a “good thing” at 8.10.

The Timaru Trotting Club applied to the N.Z. Trotting Association last week for permission to introduce, a race, to be known as the New Zealand Sires’ Produce Trotting Stakes, to be decided in 1937. It was intended to give £5OO in stakes and the race to be over a mile and a half. The race would be for unhoppled trotters. Members expressed approval of the aims of the Timaru Trotting Club in catering for young horses, and the consideration of the conditions of the programme were left to Messrs W. Hayward and J. R. McKenzie. It is understood that the wellknown breeder owner, Mr J: R. McKenzie has interested himself in the project, and will lend the Timaru T.C. substantial assistance.

From all accounts the two successes of the hack On Parade at the Auckland R.C.’s Winter fixture just concluded, have proved very expensive to layers of the odds, as he was consistently supported from the Queen City of the North to Invercargill by the

general public. He is by the defunct English sire Grand Knight, who raced with distinction in Maoriland prior to being relegated to the stud. His dam, Royal March, is a half-sister to Te Kara and sister to Queen March, the dam of King March, Gay Marigold, and Limarch, On Parade, who is a four-year-old, did no racing at two years and was out only twice last season, so he has been given every opportunity, and since he commenced to show form early this season, he has rarely missed a place.

The fact that the Auckland hunter Haakon followed up his second consecutive Auckland R.C. Hunt Cup on Wednesday with a win in the Winter Steeplechase at Ellerslie on Saturday is very interesting, as it may mean a highly-credentialled promoted entrant for the N.Z. Grand National Steeplechase in August next. Owned by his breeder, Dr McGregor Grant, one of Auckland’s hunting enthusiasts and prominent racing officials, he is a seven-year-old gelding by Valkyrian (imp.) from Koura, by Salvadan (imp.) from Golden Sands, by Muskapeer from Ladybird, by Floe from Polish, by Day and Martin he runs away back on the maternal side to imported English parents. Haakon is therefore a bred and born thoroughbred and in every way qualified to become a Grand National candidate.

In the Great Northern Steeplechase last week, “at the top of the hill the last time Royal Limond hit the front with the field close handy. The Riccarton gelding held the advantage into the straight and won by four lengths.” This is how an Auckland writer puts the case. He does not say anything about Royal Limond being “ridden into every jump,” nor does he remark that the Limond gelding was “flogged unmercifully up the straight.” The South Island “sluggard,” it will be noted, led the field to the straight and won by four lengths.

The filly winner of the N.Z. Sapling Stakes, of £lOOO, for two-year-olds (l|m.) at the Ashburton Trotting Club’s Winter meeting on Saturday turned up in the second fancy, Frisco Lady, a youngster filly bred in the purple and born to the pacing game. The Messrs August Bros.’ entrant was bred by Mr W. J. Morland, of Christchurch, a breeder-owner well-known in Southland, and she was sired by the imported American pacing stallion Jack Potts, by Walter Direct from Margaret Steiner, by Steiner from Temple T., by Mambrino Clay from Temple, by Brown Hal (a noted sire of pacers in U.S.A.). On the maternal side Frisco Lady is beautifully bred as she is by Daisy Pointer, by Logan Pointer (imp. and a very great sire in Maoriland) from Dayspring, by California (imp.) from Daybreak, by Vancleve from Moonbeam, by Chude Harold from Gracie (imp.) and on in her sixth remove to Nora, a mare by the noted U.S.A, thoroughbred sire Glencoe. The Sapling Stakes winner is a half-sister to Sir Gowan and Fascination, both by Southland sire Rey de Oro.

When he won the Epsom Derby last year "Windsor Lad was owned by the Maharaja of Rajpikla, who subsequently passed him on to Mr M. H. Benson, of Newmarket, for whom he won the St. Leger. During the past season he won £24,903 in stakes, ana of this amount £11,455 was credited to his plucky purchaser, Mr Benson, who with reasonable luck should get his money back in stud fees—he paid £50,000 for the Blandford colt. ASHBURTON TROTTING CLUB SAPLING STAKES TO FRISCO LADY. (Per United Press Association.) Ashburton. June 8. The Ashburton Trotting Club’s meeting was held in cold but fine weather before a very large attendance. The course was good. The. totahsator handled £14,336 10/- as against £10,866 last year. In presenting the ribbon to Messrs August Brothers (owners of Frisco Lady) the president (M. Nicoll) said that the club was considering increasing the Sapling Stakes money.

The weather was fine overhead, but a cold southerly wind blew across the track which made it rather unpleasant for the Ashburton Trotting Club’s Winter meeting. The track was in good order and the attendance large. Proceedings opened with the Longbeach Handicap of one and a-half miles, 3.49 class, for. which Bittersweet was sent out a good first favourite, with Reward and Princess Gi _• next in order. Beginning well, Tryone Lass just led past the stand and across the top from Reward, but Reward led her with the first half-mile gone in Imin 15sec. The order was the same down the back, where Royal Parrish and Bittersweet were next. With the mile gone in 2.24 2-5, the order was the same and stih the same as they turned for home. In a good race to the line Tryone Lass (V. Colbom) just beat Reward by a neck, with Royal Parrish eight lengths away. Then came Bittersweet, Cracksman and Mai*_>r Wrack. Times: 3min 33sec, 3min 35 l-ssec, 3min 36sec, 3min 37 2-ssec. — Cadiz ended up first choice for the Trial Handicap of one and a-half miles 3.43 class, in a big field, with Royal Palm and Zest fancied in that order. Royal Palm went away on a break and never settled down. Civic made most of the running with Bluff, and they led past the half-mile in Imin 9 2-ssec. The, same pair led down the back and were still the leaders passing the mile in 2min 20sec. Colonel Bogey looked the winner at the distance, but in a desperate finish Cadiz (M. Holmes) just beat him on the post by a neck, with Hidden Charm half a length away. Then came Red Flush, Self and Zest. Times: 3min 26 3-ssec, 3min 26 3-ssec, 3min 26 3-5 sec.

The bracketed pair, Graham Direct and Recess, ended up a warm favourite for the Ashburton County Handicap of one and a-half miles, 3.25 class, with Guy Junior and Iraq fancied in that order.’ Wise Guy was first to show out, but Worthy King quickly headed him and led past the post, followed by a bunched mob. As they raced across th° top and past the half-mile in Imin 6 2-ssec, Worthy King was right out in front, followed by Wise Guy, Guy Junior and Llewellyn’s Pride. There was no change as they raced down the back, but with the mile gone in 2min 13 2-ssec Worthy King was well clear of Iraq, Guy Junior, Wise Guy and Llewellyn’s Pride. Worthy King led into the straight, but stopped at the distance and, in the run home, Iraq (J. Fraser) just heat Llewellyn’s Pride by half a length, with Guy Junior four lengths away. Then came Graham Direct, Recess and Little Nelson. Times: 3min 16 4-ssec, 3min 17sec, 3min 18sec, 3min 18 3-ssec. They went the last mile in 2min 10 2-ssec, the last half in Imin 3 3-ssec and the last quarter in 31sec. Direct went away very slowly and got in a bad position from which he could not extricate himself till he turned for home, but could only reach fourth place.

The bracket of Tapdancer, Valdor, Rollalong and Double Great ended up a good first favourite for the Sapling Stakes of one. and a-half miles, with Frisco Lady second choice and the bracketed pair, Bill Grattan and Gaillard, next in demand. Waitaki Power, jumping out smartly, led past the stand from Maltravers and Valdor, where Fine Art played up and went away badly. As they raced across the top and past the half-mile (Imin. 9sec.), Waitaki Power was three lengths in front of Maltravers and Valdor and Double Great were shut in. As they ran down the back the order was unchanged. Frisco Lady was now up fifth. Racing across the bottom and with the mile passed in 2min. 19sec., Waitaki Power was just showing in front of Maltravers. Then came Valdor, Double Great, Frisco Lady and Gaillard. Maltravers headed Waitaki Power before the home turn and led Mite into the straight from Waitaki Power, Valdor, Double Great and Gaillard. Once in a line for home Double Great was pulled out at the centre but Frisco Lady (M. B. Edwards), getting a clear run, was in front at the distance and, finishing on full of running, beat Gaillard, who came fast when he got clear but only got within two lengths of Frisco Lady as they crossed the line, with Double Great • three lengths further back. Then came Valdor, Maltravers, Tapdancer. Serene Bingen and Carus. Times, 3min. 24 3-ssec, 3min. 24 4-ssec, 3min. 25 2-ssec, 3min. 25 4-ssec. M. B. Edwards drove the winner.

Morrello (McTigue) was sent out a good favourite for the Acton Handicap of one and a-half miles, 3.39 class, with Village Guy and the bracket Grace McElwyn and Chechahco next fancy. Village Guy began well and led past the stand from Marie Celeste, Golden Cross and Black Jester. As they raced across the top Marie Celeste shot into the lead and she was well clear of Village Guy as they passed the half-mile. Down the back Marie Celeste was well out ini front of Village Guy, followed by Golden Cross, Directum, Guymond and Morello. A little further on Morello went fast and, with a mile gone, Marie Celeste led Village Guy, Golden Cross and Morello. Marie Celeste' led into the straight but in the run home Morello came fast and beat Golden Cross by half a length, with Chechahco the same distance away. Then came Village Guy Grace McElwyn and Marie Celeste. Times, 3min. 19 l-ssec, 3min. 21 3-ssec, 3min. 19 4-ssec, 3min. 22 l-ssec.

Teviot Downs was sent out a good favourite for the Mayfield Trot of one and a-half miles, 2.28 class, with Great Way and Garner next in esteem. Beginning well, Belle Lorimer just led past the stand from Teviot Downs. Breaking badly as they raced across the top, Stand By took the lead and passed the half-mile in Imin. 10sec., well clear of Great Way and Garner. Then came Bell Lorimer. As they raced down the back there was little change where Trampfast was making up his leeway fast. With the mile gone in 2min. 21 l-ssec, Stand By still had charge from Great Way, Gamer and Explosion. Once in a line for home Trampfast came fast, and gathering the leaders, came on and won well by two lengths from First Wrack, who came fast in the straight with Gamer four lengths further away. Then came explosion, Great Way and Stand By. Times, 3min. 18 2-ssec, 3min. 24 4-ssec, 3min. 27 l-ssec, 3min. 28 3-ssec. In the run home Explosion broke and interfered with Trampfast (R. B. Berry).

The attendance was now very large. Levity was the popular fancy for the Tinwald Handicap of one and a-half miles, 3.39 class, with Player and Nobel Prince next in esteem. Beginning well, Llewellyn’s Pet led past the stand from Great Travis and Guy Star. As they ran across the top. Llewellyn’s Pet was well clear of Trinidad and Rollicking Wave. Racing down the back the order was the same and Llewellyn’s Pet was still the pilot as the mile was passed in 2min. 17sec. Llewellyn’s Pet led into the straight but at the distance Tricliff (L. Maiden) shot out and, finishing on well, beat Llewellyn’s Pet by two lengths, with Decoy Bird three lengths further back. Then came Great Seaman, Vanity Fair and Rollicking Wave. Times, 3min. 24sec, 3min. 24 4-ssec, 3min. 24sec, 3min. 26 2-ssec.

At a meeting of the Board of the New Zealand Trotting Association on Friday evening in Christchurch, the Riverton Racing Club reported that it had disqualified J. M. McConnell, rider of Eighteen Carat, for two months for interference with Picotee in the Wakatipu Handicap, and had reversed the judge’s placings.—ln the evidence given it was said that J. M. McConnell had been charged by the stipendiary steward, Mr G. N. McLean, who had later ruled that there was no ground for an appeal that McConnell had wished to lodge. A member moved that the action be endorsed, but Mr Kitchingham contended that McConnell was entitled to an appeal. It was stated that racing stipendiary stewards did not always understand when an appeal was permissible. In his remarks to the committee the stipendiary steward, Mr McLean, said that ais the committee had found McConnell guilty of crossing and interfering, it was for them to say what penalty would be imposed for the offence. He read rule 308 providing for penalties in races of this kind. He was quite sure the owner of the horse

had nothing to do with the offence. The driver, he said was at fault. t He suggested that nothing less than three months’ disqualification should be, given. Mr McLean later suggested that if the club gave only one month the Trotting Conference would increase the penalty to three months. It was decided that the Riverton Racing Club be informed that if it was held that the offence, under the present rule, was wilfully committed then the offending horseman had the right of appeal under rule 308. It was decided to forward a copy of the rule to the Riverton Racing Club. FOXTON RACING CLUB WINTER MEETING. EMINENT WINS CUP. (Per United Press Association.) Foxton, June 8.

Winners of the K Cup at the last Dominion women’s tournament, Eastern Southland met the Otago women’s eleven in the curtain-raiser at Carisisbrook on Saturday, a fast and interesting display being provided (states the Star Sports Special). Eastern ran out winners by two goals to nil, the Southerners showing a better understanding of one another’s play though territorially Otago had quite a good share of the game. Many likely opportunities were lost, however, through the failure of the halves, with t a exception of Miss Mackie, to pass direct to the front line. Miss Mackie was one of the outstanding players on the field, and it was through no fault of hers that Otago did not come out with a win. Her anticipation of play was a feature of her game, and her ball control was excellent. At left full-back, Miss R. Burt was a tower of strength to Otago, making many powerful clearances. Although they lacked the combination and stickwork of the winners, the Otago forwards played a plucky game, and the wings, Miss I. Lee and R. Warburton, got through any amount of work, the latter making some dashing runs, .especially in the second half. Support was lacking, however, and some of her good work went for nought. The Eastern forwards were a wellknit combination, and the defence of the side was very sure, Miss A. Stewart being particularly solid at left fullback, and frequently repelling Otago attacks. All the Eastern halves played serviceable games, and in a solid forward line Mr H. Reid, who is to captain the New Zealand team on its Australian tour, was always to the fore, though the whole line showed plenty of dash. Eastern held a 2—o lead at half-time, but Otago held the champions well in the second half, which saw no addition to the score. THE TEAMS. EASTERN SOUTHLAND. Goalkeeper: Mrs A. O’Connor. Full-backs: Misses A. McDonald and A. Stewart Half-backs: Misses F. Shuttleworth, M. Sanson, and R. Mcßain. Forwards: Misses M. Nicol, M. White, Mrs H. Reid (captain), Miss K. Bond, and M. Sherriffs. OTAGO. Goalkeeper: Miss D. Wells. Fullbacks: Misses R. Wilson and R. Burt. Half-backs: Misses A. Mackie (captain), M. Fisher, and M. Blagdon. Forwards: Misses I. Lee, R. Cumberbeach, A. Harley, W. Duncan, and R. Warburton. First Spell. Eastern attacked from the bully-off, M. Nicol breaking through put in a good centre to Miss White, who found the net less than half a minute from the start Eastern 1, Otago 0. Eastern maintained the pressure, and soon gained a corner, a penalty being awarded to Otago, but little advantage was gained until Miss Warburton broke away, only to be stopped by the Eastern backs. Play was swinging quickly from one end of the other until from a throw-in,

a long pass to the Otago left wing saw the Blues .launch an attack. Eastern cleared and Mrs Reid dribbled through inside Otago’s twenty-five, but R. Wilson saved the situation by clearing to the sideline. A comer gave Eastern another chance, but they were unsuccessful. Eastern were having slightly the better of the play, but Misses Mackie and Burt were continually breaking up the attack, the latter making some fine clearances. A strong attack by Eastern forwards was well stopped by Miss Mackie, who was playing a great game, and showing excellent ball control. Miss Lee led an Otago attack, and Eastern backs were called upon to save,..Miss Duncan, making another run inside Easterns circle. Eastern were not to be denied, however, and they were soon in Otago s circle again. A free hit to Eastern for “sticks” put Otago in a dangerous position, but a clearance was made at the expense of a corner. A long, clearing hit by Miss Burt transferred play to the other end, but Otago v.ere unable to press home the advantage. A nice centre by Miss Lee went astray, and Eastern cleared again. Otago were attacking hotly at this stage, .Miss Fisher sending through, but Miss Stewart proved too solid, and Eastern shifted play to the other twenty-five, and Mrs Reid, securing from a scramble, drew the goalie out of position to score. Eastern Southland 2, Otago 0. Otago attacked from the bully, and Miss Warburton put in a fine run down the left wing, but was unsupported. The Otago backs were defending stoutly, but with the exception of Miss Mackje they were not feeding direct to their forwards. Several Otago attacks were well broken up by the Eastern left full-back, Miss Stewart. M. Fisher was prominent in an Otago attack, but Miss McDonald was there to save. Otago was on the attack when half-time was souhded, with the score: Eastern Southland 2, Otago 0. Second Spell.

After momentarily entering Eastern territory Otago were forced back into their twenty-five, where from one likely incursion Miss Burt saved the situation. However, after five minutes they could not clear until a free hit brought temporary relief, Miss Warburton breaking away. She had barely passed halfway when she vzas halted, and play swung back to the Otago penalty area. Eastern were snapping up their opportunities, but were unable to get past the last line. Miss Nicol drove in a good centre, which placed Otago in an even more insecure position, but Miss Wilson was equal to the occasion, and sent her forwards off to change defence into attack. There Otago remained for some minutes, and from a corner Miss Mcßain broke through with good support, and Miss Wells was called upon to save smartly. Miss Mackie passed right across to Miss Warburton, who gained some yards before being stopped by Miss Stewart, who struck the ball back to the Eastern forwards. Eastern maintained the pressure, but a particular stumbling block was Miss Warburton, whose line runs were the best feature of the Otago forward play. From one of her well-judged centring shots, when Otago were in an excellent position to score, Miss Harley failed to connect with the pass, and lost a golden chance. Eastern’s goal area was now the scene of activity ,and a moment later Otago swept down on the voal, but the defence was fortunate to deflect the ball. Otago were infusing more thrust into their work, and all the while the pace was increasing. A couple of Eastern breakaways were neatly checked, Miss Mackie being a prominent defender. With the latter invasion they were more successful, Mrs Reid being outstanding in a fine solo run, the effect of which was marred when she missed her measure at the last moment. Otago were held in their twentv-five for a time, just managing to win through to haltway as time was called. Final: — Eastern-Southland 2 Otago 0 Messrs G. C. Hamilton (Eastern) and T. Moore (Otago) were reterees. SOUTHLAND TEAM ANNOUNCED. MATCH AGAINST EASTERN. The Southland selector (Mr H.

All tennis players and followers of the game are invited to be the guests of-the Winter Carnival Committee at supper at Smith’s tea rooms on Wednesday next, when matters in connection with the carnival will be discussed. Cricket and tennis are sports which suffer severely from financial stringency consequent upon the few opportunities to gain revenue from “gates.” • The fostering of the two favourite summer sports is considerably hampered through lack of funds. It was therefore decided by the two associations to conduct this winter a carnival to augment the sorely-depleted funds. That the Tennis Association’s action will have the whole-hearted approval of all pl'yers : n the provincial district can be taken for granted. But keen practical support as well as approval is required, and it is with the object of setting the machiner. into

operation and forming committees that the meeting on Wednesday will be held. It is hoped, furthermore, that the evening will prove most enjoyable socially. All too few opportunities are presented to tennis players to meet together end in the cosy atmosphere of the tea rooms, with the knowledge that supper is provided gratis, players should spend a couple o. hours which will not only be of assistance to the carnival project but pleasurable to themselves. -The Southland Association will make a most convincing case of the need for funds and of the excellent uses to which any money raised will be put It is hoped that all tennis players in the city and city suburbs will attend.

(United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.) London, June 7 A gale and rain marred the Leeds professional golf tournament. Cotton, in the semi-final, mastered- the elements better. Easterbrook won in the third round after laying his opponent amazing stymies, but he stymied himself from victory at the fourteenth hole in the semifinal when two down. He missed a six-foot putt, placing himself behind his opponent’s ball, which he was unable to clear. Alliss, who was half-stymied, missed a short putt at the sixteenth and lost the seventeenth, but he desperately holed a ten-footer for the match. Results:— Third Round. T. H. Cotton defeated R. Cox, 1 up. P. Alliss defeated W. H. Davies, 3 and 2. S. Easterbrook defeated J. J. Busson, 1 up. Semi-finals. Cotton defeated Green, 3 and 2. Alliss defeated Easterbrook, 1 up. BOWLS WAIHOPAI CLUB. annual meeting. The annual meeting of the Waihopai Bowling Club, held in the club’s pavilion on Saturday evening, was attended by 27 members under the chairmanship of the retiring president (Mr J. G. Imlay). The annual report (previously published) was adopted on the motion of Mr Imlay who, in the course of his remarks, thanked all those who had assisted the club during the year, and congratulated the club on winning the four-rink championship. An exceptionally fine summer had enabled members to take full advantage of the green which, he said, stood up to the dry spell very well and presented a good playing surface to the close of the season. Mr- Steans, in seconding the motion, urged members to give more support to the social room, receipts from this scource having fallen off to such an extent as to cause the committee some concern. The balance-sheet submitted by the treasurer (Mr A. E. Broad) showed a small credit balance. In his remarks Mr Broad mentioned that the club was in the happy position of having no outstanding subscriptions. After discussion the report was adopted. The membership of the club stands the same as last year and two new members were elected. The presentation of prizes then took place, the trophy winners being: Champion singles, T. Nicholson; runner-up, C. Barham; champion doubles, ’R. G. Speirs and R. T. Meredith; handicap doubles, C. Barham and J. C. Imlay, runners-up, G. T. Stevens and E. Dawson. The election of officers resulted as follows: President, Mr F. "A. Steans; vice-presidents, Messrs W. Pickford (senior), P. Winders (junior); hon. secretary, Mr W. A. Bell (re-elected); hon. treasurer, Mr A. E. Broad (reelected); hon. auditor, Mr C. J. Broad (re-elected); selector, Mr C. Barham; green ranger, Mr G. Tapper; delegates to the centre, Messrs L. Gray, and R. G. Speirs; delegates to Waihopai Sports Association, Messrs A. Steans, J. R. Martin, and W. J. Duncan; committee, Messrs T. Stevens, A. Adam, W. Duncan, A. Wilson, J. McKay, W. H.

Imlay and P. Winders. A general discussion followed relating to the finances of the club. It was unanimously decided to raise the subscription by 5/~. The delegates were instructed to bring before the notice of the centre the advisability of putting Tuesday night games on a more satisfactory basis. It was stated that the fourrink games as played last year were very unpopular with most of the clubs. The president (Mr Steans) thanked the ladies who so ably assisted at afternoon teas during the season. HARRIERS INVERCARGILL CLUB. On Saturday afternoon the members of the Invercargill Harrier Club were the guests of Mr and Mrs W. Torrance St. Andrews strefet. There was a good muster and despite the miserable weather the run proved interesting and enjoyable.

The trail led Up Sydney street to the North ‘ Invercargill School, thence down through Rosedale to tfee bank of the Waihopai. Following the stream for some distance, a sweep round the bush to the east of the racecourse saw the pack heading for home via the course circuit. The run home was made along Herbert street. The slow pack ran home though Surrey Park. The fast pack, under the club captain, kept moving throughout the run and in the finish was headed by J.. Metcalfe and W. Crowther. The juniors were led in by J. Chaplin and J. Cross. At the conclusion of the run the pack was entertained to. tea by their host and hostess. Mr W. Pickard thanked Mr and Mrs Torrance for their hospitality, Mr Torrance returning thanks. Owing to the Indian hockey team’s fixture next Saturday, the run will not be held from Waianiwa as scheduled.

but will take place from the Tepid Baths at 1.45 sharp. - ST. PAUL’S CLUB. A rather smaller pack than usual turned out on Saturday for the St. Paul’s Harrier Club’s run from St. Stephen’s Sunday School Hall at Waikiwi. Most of the team were present and had a , steady run over country, keeping together all the way. The slow pack took a sherter route and were home before the team members. M. Ayson led in the former, while R. Woods headed the team group. Despite the bad weather the run was quite enjoyable.
