During the afterndon Mrs. Stewart gave a demonstration of wool quilt making and received a hearty vote of thanks for her interesting exhibition. A wool quilt made by members of the iocal branch was entered in the Taihape wool campaign competition and was awarded second prize. It was deriled to forward this quilt to Mrs. Dexter, Wanganui, for disposal. Two new members were enrolled. OTAMAKAPUA SCHOOL. The vegetable plots at the Otamakapua School which were commenced under the direction of the Boys and Girls’ Agricultural Club and were not included in the final judging by the club, were judged by the School Committeee on Wednesday afternoon.

The following are the results of the judging: Carrots.—Phyllis Miller (53 tons 3 qrs. 151 b.) 1, Derick Fulton (51 tons, IScwt., Iqr. 11b.) 2. Swedes.—Arthur Brooks (62 tons, 3 qrs. 71b.) 1, R.

FOOTBALL CLUB It is unusual for a Rugby team to forfeit a match after having issued a •hallenge, but such* a course was necessary on Wednesday last, when Obingaiti juniors were unable to field a team to uphold their challenge to Old Boys for the Bengal Cup. The match was set down for Wednesday, July 20, and arrangements were made to field the best possible team for that date, some players altering holiday and business arrangements to suit. The game was postponed for one week by the Rugby Union on account of the Marton Hunt Club’s meeting, and the delay meant that at least four players were not available. The matter is the subject of much comment locally, one member asking pertinently whether the Rugby Union would have made the postponement had fhe matches been in the senior grade? ANNUAL BALL. The Football Club’s annual ball to be held in the Town Hall to-night promises to be more than ordinarily a success. Intimation of the attendance of visitors from many outside districts has been received, and the fact that the club has engaged the ever-popular River City Syncopaters to supply the music has increased the popularity of ‘ho function.
