ONEHUNGA.

Dear Bee, February 25. Our tennis tournament has finished at last. You will find a list of the winners under the head of ‘Athletics.’ Owing to Mrs Banks giving a picnic to-day there were not so many visitors on the Club Lawn as usual. However, lhe tea and cakes which were provided by Miss Dickey and another, were highly appreciated. Amongst those present were Mrs Zinzan. wearing a becoming lavender bonnet and black dress ; Mrs Symonds and her daughter. Mrs Batham. both dressed in black; Mrs Scott, who looked well in a small brown hat, brown check skirt and Eton jacket with pink silk front; Mrs Frost, small hat, light blouse, and fawn skirt; Misa A. Bassett, white costume, brown hat with red flowers; Miss E. Bassett, very pretty spotted navy dress, black hat trimmed with white ; Miss C. Frost looked very nice in brown striped skirt and flannel blouse; Miss M. Frost, pale blue flowered blouse, grey skirt; Miss E. Gibbons, navy blue skirt, spotted navy shirt blouse, large white hat; Miss E. Jackson, shirt blouse, dark brown skirt, small white hat; Miss Dickey, dark skirt, light shirt blouse; Miss N. Singleton, navy skirt, striped navy blouse, white hat trimmed to match. The gentlemen present were Dr. Scott and the Messrs L. A. and C. Suttie, V. Frost. L. Zinzan. P. F. Battley, R. Burns. Auckland seems to have felt Thursday’s gale more than we did. though it was bad* enough here. I did not hear of any damage done here except a few branches of trees blown down and flower gardens knocked about a little, but at the Manukau Heads two of the beacons were blown over. The Horticultural Society held their annual meeting in the stone schoolroom on Tuesday evening. The affairs of the Society were pronounced to be in a flourishing condition, though the greatest parr of the hard work has fallen on to the shoulders of a few ‘ willing horses ’ who deserve great credit for the success of the Shows. The chairman (Mr Fleming) hopes that the public will come forward and take more interest in the work, as they evidently enjoyed the Shows by the way the hall was crowded on each occasion.
