Captain Hunt, of New Plymouth, who inspected the camp of the Patea platoon of the Taranaki Regiment last week-end, was the guest of Lieut, and Mrs. Haddow before returning on Saturday. Mrs. Bachelor, who has recently returned from a visit to San Francisco, was the guest of Mrs. A. Maxwell last week before returning to Stratford. CRICKET Rain prevented the match between Patea and Power Board in the South Taranaki competition being completed last Saturday, and stumps were drawn early t the game being declared a drawImprovement in the standard of play, particularly in batting, was shown by the Patea cricketers, who compiled 118, batting first. D. Hughes, of the Power Board eleven, was the bowler to secure the “hat trick.” He took two wickets with the last two balls of one over, and with the first ball of his next over felled another wicket. His bowling average was splendid, taking seven wickets for 43 runs in 12 overs. Hughes is a last bowler, with considerable experience of Taranaki pitches. 1 Patea J. Gibbs, b D. Hughes 14 C.
