(From our own , correspondent.) The city, in common with the other centres, experienced unsettled weather during the holidays, but there are signs of improvement now. As a result- of the carolling on Christmas Eve the ,Hibernian Band's uniform fund has been augmented to the extent of nearly £10. The members of this organisation are to be congratulated on the success that has attended their enthusiastic efforts up to the .present. There is- every reason to expect that in the near future this band will be the leading one of Southland. The St. Mary's Tennis Club is in full swing now, and when the weather permits large numbers patronise the court of an afternoon and evening. An active committee is carrying out several improvements to the grounds, for the use of which, the club is indebted to the Dominican Sisters. 1 At the quarterly meeting of the local branch of the H.A.C.B. Society the secretary announced that the branch was now in possession of a very fine set of officers' collars and other regalia, The half-yearly meeting will take place on the 13th inst., when the election and initiation of officers will take place.
