Humphries Castle Hut.

There now remain only the finishing touches to be put on the Taranaki Alpine Club’s new hut at Humphries Castle, the roof having being completed and all main construction work finished. Mr. R. Whitwell, the newly elected club captain, and Mr. T. Wright spent yesterday carrying the last of the material to the site. It is expected that one or two more working parties will complete the job. Heavy Easter Bookings.

Easter bookings at North Egmont hostel are exceptionally heavy this year, says the custodian, Mr. Wood. He anticipates a record season. The main house is heavily booked, only a few single rooms remaining unreserved. The old house and cottage are already almost fully booked by “camping” parties. Preparing for Camp.

The organisation committee of the pilots’ Easter camp, which is to be held at New Plymouth airport this year under the auspices of the aero club, inspected and surveyed the camp site yesterday. Preparation has been made for the pitching of several large tents, and every effort is being made to provide the men with comfortable quarters. A number of pilots from other aero clubs have intimated their intention of joining the camp, and it is expected that the displays and competitions arranged on Saturday, Sunday and Monday will provide some thrilling flying. The public is invited to visit the aerodrome during the camp. Our Double Dry Cleaning process is now in operation. Suits and Costumes renovated for 4/6. J. K.
