Tapanui CRICKET

Tuapeka Association At the annual meeting of the Tapanui Cricket Association, delegates were pre; ent from Tapanui, Heriot and Edievale. The Lawrence club advised that it was withdrawing from the association. It was decided that as only three, or possibly four, teams were left, there would not be sufficient competition, and the teams represented by delegates should apply for affiliation to the Eastern Southland Association. The Walker Cup and the Association Cup were presented to Mr A. Nicholson, captain of the Edievale team, which won the double events last season. HERIOT CRICKET CLUB. The Heriot Cricket Club decided, at the annual meeting, that delegates be given permission to enter the team in what they considered the most suitable competition. Mr A. Ottrey was presented with a cup for the largest number of catches taken during the year. The secretary was instructed to arrange for a match against Park Hill forestry camp on opening day. GOLF TOURNAMENT The West Otago district golf tournament was played as an open tournament, outside entries being provided for.

At the monthly meeting of the Crookston branch of the Women’s Division of the Farmers’ Union, a demonstration was given on the attachments of the Singer sewing machine. Mrs Adam won the competition “something new from something old” with a rag mat THE WEATHER. Since the beginning of the month the weather has been most unpleasant, high winds prevailing with heavy showers of rain and hail at times. A heavy frost one night cut down tender plants and early potatoes. The weather is severe on young lambs and on many farms lambing is now general. It is reported that there are fewer twin lambs this year than usual.
