GENERAL, A pleasant evening was held at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. J. Handley, Pipiriki Road, when a number of friends met to celebrate the coming of age of their two daughters Rhea and Hazel.

Messrs. J. Turnbull and Aird also spoke and Mr. J. Handley replied on behalf of his daughters. Early on Saturday morning there passed away at the residence of her parents Mr. and Mrs. Ewen Butler, a well-known and popular resident in the person of Mrs. Rose Laloli, wife of Mr. A. G. Laloli, who wag for some years in business in Raetihi. The late Mrs. Laloli was born at Roxburgh, Otago, about 43 years ago. She came to this district with her parents who took up land at the corner of Pipiriki and Huikumu Roads, and later shifted into Raetihi, where she was married about 18 years ago. The late Airs. Laloli was of a bright and happy disposition, and she maintained these characteristics throughout a trying illness. She was a willing worker in any good cause and was a member of the Catholic Church. A large number of floral emblems and messages of sympathy with the sorrowing relatives testified to the popularity and esteem in which the deceased was held by a wide circle of friends. The funeral took place on Sunday afternoon, Rev. Father Sweeney officiating. At the community sing in the theatre on Monday night Captain Lee and Mr. L. Whyte were the leaders and items were also given by Mr. A. E. Davey, R. Seaman, and Aliss J. Owen, Air. Ogden was at the piano. A number of old favourites were sung by the gathering of which young people were in the majority. FOOTBALL. RUAPEHU SUB-UNION v. TAIHAPE SUB-UNION.

There was a very satisfactory attendance at the show ground on Saturday afternoon, about 500 being present to witness the contest between Ruapehu reps., and a team from Taihape. The weather was perfect from a spectator’s point of view but the bright sun was trying to the players. Taihape won the toss and Ruapehu had to start with the sun in their eyes. Shortly after play started W. Thompson, one of the Taihape forwards was hurt, but was able to carry on. Tocker, of the Ruapehu team, was also hurt and retired and Parkes took his place. Chase was the first to score. He broke away from a scrum and kicked over the opposing fullback’s head, followed up, and got over the line. With a good kick the ball was sent over the bar to make Taihape 5 to their opponent’s nil. Ruapehu tried hard to even matters, and before long Gordon broke away and Friedlander passed to Arnadio, who scored at the corner and could not manage to add the major points. The Ruapehu men tried hard to score but the defence was too good for them and the play was up and down the field, till the veteran Beiliss dummied his way over the line and Thompson put the ball over from an easy angle, making the score Taihape 10, Ruapehu ,*J. Some speculating was then indulged io by both sides. With pretty play Hansen broke through ami spectators were keen to sec what, would happen when an obstruction try was awarded Taihape, and II). Thompson had no difficulty in making the total 15 to 3. In the second spell Ruapehu had the advantage of the sun at their back and they made the pace willing at the start. Clemett had a try for a goal from the field but the ball went wide. Ruapehu pressed hard, the backs playing well and Appleton was able to get across and Clemett added the extra amid enthusiasm among Ruapehu supporters. Ruapehu kept up the attack and Gordon crossed the line near the posts and Clemett again put the. ball over the bar making the score Taihape 15, Ruapehu 13. Taihape took the play down the

corner but a penalty to Ruapehu eased the position. Taihape kept thei- opponents about the twenty-five for some time till Keegan passed to Chase, who dashed across the line. D. Thompson failed to put the ball over the bar. Ruapehu then rushed the game to Taihapc’s twenty-live, when they obtained a free-kek and Clemett kicked a goal, making tho score Taihape 18, Ruapehu 16. Taihape pushed the game but Simpson, at full-back, saved his side repeatedly. The Taihape backs then put in some fine play and the old veteran Bel-
