Afternoon tea was served by the ladies’ committee. 5 GENERAL AND PERSONAL. A brass heel off the stock of an old rifle, presumably used in the Maori tribal war days, was unearthed recently by Mr. E. Mowat on his Tupari estate. This relic is one of many unearthed by Mr. Mowat during ploughing operations, his collection of axes, etc., being of exceptional interest to those interested in Maori art. Mrs. Gordon Salway returned on Monday from an enjoyable holiday in the South Island.
