On account of bad weather on Saturday, the official opening of the Carterton Golf Club did not take place. It has been decided to dispense with an official opening and to carry on with the season’s play. Mrs. James Lecomte, of 39 Lincoln Road, Christchurch was found lying at the side of the road at Taitapu at 1.20 o ’clock yesterday morning beside an overturned motor ear. She was taken to hospital suffering with severe head and back injuries. Her condition yesterday afternoon was serious.—(P.A.) Owing to the unsuitable weather the Masterton Municipal Bapd had to postpone its Sunday evening concert in the Park, which was to have taken place last evening. To-night a start will be made in practising the music for Anzac Day.

A meeting of the Kopuaranga Women’s Institute was held last week. Mrs. A. B. Cottle presided over a good attendance. Visitors were present from the Hastwell Institute.
