DISTRICT NEWS. IFROf1 OUR OWN COIRRESPONDENT]. Longwood. Travellers on the Sydney road will I pleased to bear that a new bridge is I be erected over Creighton's Creek, not the school. Continual patching has bee going on there and still the bridge is ft from satisfactory, so that the decis;ion zebuild will meet with agreement. It he been decided to releck at the Seven Creel, also. These bridlges are on the line of whi is termed "through" traflfc, and on thi account a special vote of £430 was obtaine to help the Council in the matter. TI credit of bhttlingfor this grant and haviu it devoted to each 1-ridge is mainly due t our energetic councillor, Mr. S. E Wlther who has always recognised that ndtioni highways like the Sydney road shoula met with special consideration at the tiGoer, ment's hands Other bridges are also hi ing built at 1'ntullo's farm (Nine Mil Creek) and near Gilbert's (Pranjip), so the Cr. Withers is alive to the interests of th ratepayers everywhere in his riding. Lik the Goulhurn East representatives' bridge and cul.erts. round nod strongly-declke bridges are lasting values to be advocate by any councillor. Local tennis circles view the assertions hi last Friday's tennis notes with feelings skit to saying "don't" in regard to what thi - two teams from the Euroa court could do Many proverbs could be quoted for tha' club's benefit, such as'"'Pride goeth." etc. and so on, l'ut they intend to retrain. Mean while it would be an interesting afternoon i the second team could be got to play again: Longwood on an off day. Perhaps they would hIe surprised when it was all over bat locals, of course, would not like to evet suggest a boast of what they can do in the hour of battle. At present,from an associa lion point of view-, Longwood is equal to Earon, with an unbeaten record. On thlb account the meeting with Euroa will I.e at item of great anticipations. Meanwhile a pleasant evening's reading for some of the clubs would be "Story of Horatius" or "The Pass of Thermopylae," and otters of that ilk. The half-yearly A.N.A. elections cn Wednesday night resulted as follows: President, Mr. E. Wither.; vice p:tsident Mr. W. Illis; treasurer, A. Down; secre. tary, Mr. Hodge; assistant secretary, Mr. C. Grant; anuditors, Messrs. Grant andNoy; committee, Messrs. Brodie, Cummins, Noy. Dooley, and Crichton; press correspondent, Mr. Hodge: sick visitors, president and rice-president. Accounts for £14 5s were passed for payment. It has been decided to get a board member up to address the townspeople. The football meeting postponed from Wednesdaynight is to be held on Saturday night, in the Hall. The debating society held apleasant even ing last Tuesday. The items were "Pre pared Questions." and formed a lengthy programme. Mr. Gleeson acted as chair man. The next debate is betweouen Messrs. Grant and Gleeson. On Monday last the Maygar section of the Lloyd-LindsayLight Horse competitions took place at the butts. Two teams com peted for the prize, but the one under Lance Corporal Tubb, came out first with easy honors, scoring 131 to 89, the second team being under Corporal Kong-Meng. Points were given for shooting at 600, 500, and 3oo yards, and for smartness, riding, etc. Lance-Corporal Tubb's section comprised Privates Eller, Beach, G. Kong-Meng, and Lance-Corporal Tubb himself. The winners deserve to be congratulated on their victory, especially with such a lead of points. It is hoped that the 131 score may be allowed to standfor the McLeish section of the com petitions which could not act be carried out last Saturday.
