APARIMA CLUB

During last week the members were busy giving the green its final topdressing. The grass has come away well and there should be a good playing surface this year. It is intended to open the season on 17th October. The club has been unfortunate in that during the year it has lost a number olf good players in removalsfrom the town. OTAUTAU CLUB. Otautau Club opened the season on Wednesday last. Owing to the unavoidable absence of the President (Mr A. C. Mills) the match arranged • —President v. Vice-president.— did not eventuate, but teams selected by Messrs Gordon and Tonkiuson played a game. C. Renowden, J. Paninenter, T. King, J. Gordon (s) 18; A. G. Stevens, M. Richards, 0. W. Tonkiuson (s) 20. Fairly good form was shown, and the play of Messrs Stevens, King and Parmonter was really good. The green was iu perfect order, the weather ideal, and though the attendance was not over numerous the afternoon was enjoyable, ' The grass on last year’s extension of the green has come away well, and the green committee played a game on it on Friday afternoon. With care and attention the club will probably be playing the full green this season.
