A Concert . On Saturday afternoon a number of friends from Hamilton came through by train and drove up to Te Waikato Sanatorium and gave the inmates an excellent concert. Mr. Gribble, who was at the head of the undertaking, took the opportunity to present Dr. E. E. Roberts with an illuminated leather scroll as a small mark of appreciation of his untiring care and great kindness to all who came in contact- with him in his efforts to combat the “great white plague.” The presentation was made on behalf of past members of the staff and patients. A further presentation was made to Mrs. Roberts of a tea set of valuable Belleek china, and in making it Mr. Gribble said though times might change, the good work done on the hill could neither be undone nor forgotten, and it was tae united wish of the staff and patients that Dr. and Mrs. Roberts might long be spared to see the results of their untiring efforts. The Doctor suitably replied, and, after the conclusion of the proceedings, the party drove back to Hamilton. *■ The Night of the Party.''
