COMMUNITY CLUB.
LECTURE ON THE MAORI WAR. The second winter session of the New Plymouth Community Club, which looks after the social side of senior cadets and territorial training, is now being held. The addition of a piano to the club’s property has proved very popular, and after refreshments provided by the club there is plenty to amuse and while away half an hour or so. The catering is in the hande of a number of willing ladies, who take it in turn to act as hostesses, these acting this week being Mrs. T. C. List and Miss Good. The first of the lectures under the auspices of the club for the current session was delivered last night, when Mr. G. A. Adlam described to the cadets of No. 70 Company some of the engagements of the Maori War. Mr. Adlam spoke particularly of his own regiment, the 43rd Monmouthshire Light Infantry, and brought out both the serious as well as the amusing side of the battles fought by the regiment in the Tauranga district and around Warea. Mr. Adlam was quite at home with the boys, and his remarks were listened to with close attention. He ia to repeat his lecture to the other cadet companies in New Plymouth.
