RADNOR ROAD NEWS

EXCURSION TO MOTUROA. (From Our Own Correspondent.) The Radnor school held its annual picnic at Moturoa in company with the Midhirst and surrounding schools last Thursday. During the dinner hour a large party was shown over the s.s. Port Napier by the chief officer. Considerable interest was taken in the landing of a 561 b. stingray caught off the Newton King wharf. The weather was disappointing, the sky being overcast, and a heavy shower of rain falling during the lunch hour. A friendly game of tennis was played between Midhirst and Radnor Road at Radnor Road during the week-end, the visiting team winning with four sets to three, or a total of 18 games to 16.
