This being the last meeting of the year, the business -part was abbreviated in order that the afternoon could be more of a social one. Two much appreciated gifts, a dressing table set and a knitting bag, were presented to the institute, and are to bo competed for during the next two meetings. There was a good number of entries in each of the three competitions judged by Airs Harrison, of Pahiatua. The winner for the best coat-hanger was Aliss Ashdown, with Mrs Ashdown second and Mrs Empson third. The best raflia-niade basket was exhibited by Airs Terry, Airs Walker was second, and Airs Jenkins was first for the best plate of biscuits (two varieties), with Airs Terry second.
