GOLF NOTES CLOSING DAY The golf season was officially closed during the week-end when the presentation of trophies took place. IDcspite the unsettled weather, there was a large attendance of golfers, including members of the Utiku Club. A medal round was played in the morning and a four-ball bogey match in the afternoon. A continuous putting competition was held throughout the day and attracted large entries. Afternoon tea was provided by the ladies of the club and the day proved most enjoyable in every way. “Wc have come to the end of one of the most successful seasons in the history of the club, and it goes without saying that we hav c enjoyed our games immensely. I am pleased to see so many visitors here to-day and it gives me much pleasure to welcome them.” declared Mr. A. James, president of the Taihape Golf Club, in addressing the gathering. Proceeding, the speaker said that the club had conic through a most difficult year with credit. The economic depression had seriously affected the membership of the club during the early part of the season, but over # 20 members had joined the club half-way through the season and he hoped that these half-season members would be full members next fei*.

Mr. James took the opportunity of thanking th e ladies of the club for their very fine efforts in the matter of providing refreshments during the season and added that the club owed them a deep debt of gratitude. He made speval mention of the work of Mrs. S. E. Addis, secretary of the La.iics’ Club, and Mr. Kincaid, secretary of the Men’s Club. Mr. Kincaid had filled the position of secretary for the past five years and had borne the brunt of the administrative work of the club. The committee had also worked hard for the benefit of the club.

In continuation, the speaker wished Mr. J. P. Mortland, club champion, every success at the national championship* meeting at Heretaunga this week. Mr. James paid a tribute to the work of the greenkeeper (Mr. T. Macintyre) and declared that the splendid state of the greens spoke volumes for Mr. Macintyre’s work and added considerably to the enjoyment of the game. In conclusion the president of the club reminded members that the annual meeting would be held in November, and appealed to members to make a point of being present.

MAJESTIC THEATRE Magnificent scenery, picturesque native customs, and the enchanting architecture of the low, red-tiled abode structures of the great Southwest mark “The Gay Caballero.” George O’Brien’s latest Fox production coming to-day to the Majestic Theatre. Especially significant is the reproduction of an actual Mexican cantina. Realising that much of the charm of dramas dealing with outdoor life and romance in the West depends upon the authenticity with which they are pictured, Alfred Worker, the director, exercised great care in presenting each scene with all possible realism. * ‘The Gay Caballero” will be screened to-night (Tuesday) and Wednesday at 8 o’clock.
