It is probable that the Papanui Boy Scouts will go into camp at Christmas at the Ashiey. The city gets a poor advertisement

from the state of Papanui and Bligh’s Roads. Waimairi Tennis Club followed up its win against Little River by beating Templeton on Saturday. A committee has been set up to hold a dance on New Year’s Eve. THE SCOUT DANCE. The dance organised by Mr W. Mof.fatt, for the Papanui Boy Scout’s was a great success. The floor of St Paul’s Schoolroom was all too small for the large number of dancers. Coloured shades and streamers decorated the hall. The music was supplied by Bryson’s Band. Mesdames T, C. W.
