SUB-UNION FOOTBALL

MANGAONE DEFEAT TAHORA. By defeating Tahora by 11 points to eight at Tairgarakau on Saturday, Ala- ; ngaone are now the holders of the Meredith Shield in the Whaugamomona SubUnion. The game was full of interest and was strenuously fought to a thrilling finish. Half-time found Tahora leading by three points to nil, but soon after the resumption, Collins scored under the cross bar and Alangaone were faced with a difficult task to equalise and get ahead in the comparatively short time at their disposal. But they proved equal to the task. Erickson’s capable toe placed the ball between the uprights from a free kick, and later he converted Malloy’s try. Excitement became intense, interest being maintained until Malloy repeated his previous performance and secured victory for Mangaoue by 11 points to eight. The team to represent north against south at WJiangamomona was selected after the match as follow: Erickson, \V, Kerr, D. Kerr, Houlihan, Standish, •Collins, Cooper, Robinson, S. Zippits, P. Zippits, Opai, Baxter, Baiore, Major, Malloy. Emergencies: Cronin, von Lauve, Schliehting, Miller. WINTER SHOW ATTRACTIONS. OFFICIAL OPENING TO-MORROW. The sixth Stratford winter show opens its doors in Messrs. Kleeman and Bishop’s and E. 11. Eason’s garages, Broadway North, at noon to-morrow for a four-day season, and, with more settled weather prevailing everything points to a further record being created. With the hosts of attractions, sideshows, trade displays and entries in the competitive classes, there is no end of interest for both young and old. Every section is more generously supported than in previous years, a sure indication of the remarkable growth of the show. The show 'management is aiming to create a record in attendances this year by providing every facility for patrons to spend an interesting and profitable time at the exhibition.

Work is proceeding apace and a great deal was accomplished yesterday in transforming the buildings and setting up and arranging the displays and stalls. From all parts of the province and further afield exhibits, trade displays and side-shows are arriving and taking up their allotted positions. To-day the buildings will be a hive of industry, and by to-morrow morning the bulk of the work will have been completed. The roundabout, always a popular attraction with the children, will be located at the rear of the show buildings in Miranda -Street, in the same position as last year. The official opening will bo performed by Air. W. J. Polson, AI.P., at 8 o’clock to-morrow evening.

GENERAL ITEMS. Possessing a public appeal on account of its being organised to swell the earthquake relief funds, and described as virtually the ball of the season, the dance to be held in the Stratford town hall on Thursday week by the recently formed West Coast Committee merits support from residents of Stratford and district. Old time and modern dances, a special orchestra, good floor and sit-down supper are the chief items of an excellent bill of fare. Farmers of the Alidhirst district are reminded of the meeting to be held in the Alidhirst hall to-night to arrange for the continuation of the bobby calf pool.
