Tennis and Golf Roundup from the Northern Areas
Local clubs conclude most matches in heat with finals pending for A and B grades. Notable athletics include Captain Wilson and Lance-Corporal Batten earning honors in Military Sports. Socials at the Institute see a near fiasco then a tennis dance and a poorly attended swimming dance. Wellington sustains a serious eye injury playing Narridy. Learn to Swim week kicks off with instructors and many pupils from Laura, Stone Hut, and Gladstone schools. Heavy rains boost lucerne and paddocks but damage roads and watercourses, with highway work and district roads needing repair. St Patrick’s Day Sports and St Mary’s tennis visit add to community activity amid hot weather and flood effects.
