OHINGAITI

RUGBY FOOTBALL HALCOMBE 3, OHINGAITI 11 Ohingaiti juniors journeyftd to Halcombo on Wednesday last and defeated the home team by a margin of eight points. Ohingaiti won the toss and chose to defend the south goal, giving Halconibe the down-hill going. The game was very even throughout, and was the hardest and fastest game played by the local team this season. Ohingaiti’s forwards were superior, but Halconibe had the advantage in tho backs who handled well and proved very danger ous on many occasions, the blues’ de fence being severely tested. Maher’s lin • kicking was a feature of the game and did much towards assisting the forwards in their superiority. The scores consisted of a try, scored by Henderson and converted by Bartlett, and two penalty goals kicked by Bartlett to one unconverted try. ~ r r. Gib bons ably controlled the game. PERSONAL A painful and serious accident befell Mr. Gilbert Pritchard, son of Mr. Henry Pritchard. Otara Bridge, on Tuesday last. While pouring boiling lead into a mould, the liquid exploded and smothered his face, neck and chest. The sufferer was hurried to the Palmerston North Hospital and is undergoing treatment which it is hoped will save the sight, but the issue is still in doubt. Messrs Bowick and Charles returned from Tokaanu on Thursday.
