Mrs Scott thanked the Institute for the presents, and said that anything they had done had been a pleasure to | them. The Rev.

The following is the report to oe placed before the members at the annual meeting of the Waimate Rugby Sub-Union:— “Grounds and Buildings.—During the year the buildings*have been maintained. and are in a satisfactory condition. The state, of the finances did not permit of any extensive improvements tc the grounds, but No. 2 playing area has been ploughed, graded, and resown, while fences, hedges, and shelter trees fiave received attention. “Competitions.—ln the senior grade four teams competed. The presence of a strong Huimai team gave added interest which was maintained until the final games when the Marist Club team emerged victorious. Throughout this and the subsequent knock-out competition the games were keenly contested, and the standard of play, in many games, was very high. The SubUnion congratulates the Marist Club ! upon winning the senior competition, I and the Southern Club upon a meritorious victory in the Sadler Shie.d games. The success of the Marist team gave it the right to meet Aorangi (Fairlie) to decide the holders of the Burnett Shield. The game was played on the local grounds, and. after a close game, the visitors carried off the trophy. Late in the season when dates were submitted for the Clarke Shield match they were found to be unsuitable, and no game resulted. Five representative matches were played: v. South Canterbury, v. Waitaki. v. Ashburton, and home and home matches with Mackenzie. Against v.aitaki and Mackenzie (local j game) we were successful, and in the other games we were defeated. W. Willetts (Southern Club) was chosen to represent South Canterbury and again he proved a wo± uhy representative of the Sub-Union. High School won both the junior and junior knock-out competitions. Upon i those successes, the results of excellent team work and sound tactics, the School is to be congratulated. Only three teams, High School (2) and Huimai, competed in the third grade, H.umai carrying off the honours and the Halliday Cup. Interest in the seven-a-side tournament was widespread, and the support accorded in keeping with that of previous years. The , results were: Senior, Old Boys; junior, : Old Boys; third grade, High School; ; town schools, Waimate Primary; country schools, Kapua-Douglas.

“Referees' Association. —The SubUnion gratefully recognises the efficient service and willing co-opera-tion of the Referees’ Association. The manner in which the games in all grades were controlled was a source of real satisfaction to those who have the interests of Rugby football at heart. To the Rev. W. B. Scott, who is about to leave the district, the SubUnion wishes to express its sincerest thanks for the fine work he has done in fostering and controlling the game.

“Finance.—The statement of receipts and expenditure shows a credit balance of £l/6/9 on the year's working, and, in addition, our liabilities show a slight decrease. The assets total £1179/18/11 and the liabilities £467/4/11, leaving a credit balance of £712/14/-. The decision of the Sub-Union to reduce the prices of admission to club matches has been justified by results, the takings in this direction just exceeding those of the previous years.

“Thanks.— We desire to express our thanks to the St. John Ambulance and to Dr. Wylie for thjir prompt attention to injured players on the field, to Mr T. Parry for auditing our books, to the Press for reporting meetings and matches and to Mr Geo. Dash and Dr. Wylie for donations towards the SubUnion’s funds. In conclusion we have to thank the and players for their support, and we trust that the incoming executive will enjoy the same measure of co-operation and an increasing assistance from all.” IT’S A MISTAKE. Many people in a misguided effort to get rid of backache rely on plasters, liniments and other makeshifts. The right treatment is kidney treatment, and a remarkably recommended kidney medicine is Doan’s Backache Kidney Pills. The following is an experience typical of the work of this grand remedy: Mrs E. Bremner, 33 Williams Street, Timaru, says: “I can speak very highly vi Doan’s Backache Kidney Pills; this i emedy having completely cured me of backache, nerve attacks and a gener 1 out-of-sorts feeling. For about rvc months prior to taking Doan’s Phis I suffered a good deal from backache and other ailments, but this medicine soon fixed me up and I have been as right as a bank ever since I shall always have a good word to’ say for Doan’s Backache Kidney Pills and only hope the publishing of my testimonial will be the means of bringing relief to other sufferers. People who have weak kidneys cannot do better I than take a course of this fine | remedy.” Four years’later, Mrs Bremner, says: I I am still well, no sign of backache and kidney trouble having returned since I took Doan’s Backache Kidney Pills over four years ago.” Doan’s Backache Kidney pjn s are sold by all chemists and storekeepers Foster-McClellan Co., Proprietors 15 Hamilton Street.
