Young left for Wellington on Saturday morning after spending the holiday with her parents. This morning in the early hours began the exodu s to Wanganui where most of our sporting community will be found at the races. The weather was lovely on Thursday for the different golf events, and a good muster wore .present. Of course the topic of the day is the forthcoming Golf Ball. Many are the invitations asked for. from far and near. The Town Hall will he hard put to accomodate the guests if all arrive.

TABLE TALK. At a very enthusiastic meeting of the Operatic Society on Wednesday night, it was ciu ;ded to put on that delightful Gilbert and Sullivan Musical Comedy, “The Mikado”. it should prove a gxeat success, perhaps ;it will not exactly tun for Grossmith, as the fertile brained and live yeans, as it did in London withthat master of comedy “George Grossmith, its the fertile brained and prevaricating executioner “Koko”, but the society will surely be well patronised for a three night season, as they say in theatrical parlance. The .“Lord High-everything-els©” is we hear, very happily chosen. We shall all be looking forward to renew our acquaintance with the charming music. The victims of “Nothing hut the Truth,” are settling down to hard work, with of course a laugh or two to make it natural! “Al] work and no play” etc. you know, no good to anyone.
