The annual general meetring of the Seinde Lawn Tennis Club was held on Saturday night, Mr W.FV.J. ANDERSON in the chair.....The following officers were elected:- President, Mr E. LYNDON Vice-presidents, Dr. HITCHINGS and Mr S.J. JAGE Secretary, Mr G.P. DASENT Treasurer, Mr FW.D. ROSS Committee, Messrs PARKER, Von STURMER, WILSON PERCY, and ROWLEY. A narrow escape from drowning occurred at the Western Spit on Saturday afternoon. A little boy about seven or eight years old, son of Mrs J. LANG, was fishing off the wharf near the freezing works, when by some means he overbalanced himself and fell into the water......The hands working at NORTHE's slip, and Mr J. NORTHE and his son, made all haste to the scene, Mr J. NORTHE, jun., immediately rushing into the water and swimming towards the drowning boy. The lad was kept afloat by Mr NORTHE until the Why Not's boat came up, when young LANG was take n on board, and every means were at once used to restore animation........But for young NORTHE's plucky and decisive conduct the boy LANG, who was sinking for the third time, would undoubtedly have been drowned.
