He could have it ready for play as soon as required.—M'r Kay was heartily thanked for his offer, and applauded for his sporting spirit, several members congratulating him upon his sustained and practical interest in the game of polo and in Te Awamutu Club. It was arranged to hold another meeting next month to complete arrangements for the opening day of the season.
