PAGE FROM THE PAST.
TAURANGA FIFTY YEARS AGO.
Trade protection seems to have been as live a question half-a-cen-tury ago as it is to-day, for in the Bay of Plenty Times of September 24th, 1882, we read:— “A meeting of the Tauranga Trade Protection Association is to be held in Mr J. W. Gray’s office at ten o’clock this morning.”
To-morrow will mark the fiftieth anniversary of the opening of the Wesleyan Church in Ta.uranga. This we learn from the following paragraph from the same issue: "The opening of the Wesleyan Church in Devonport Road is to be celebrated on Sunday next, when Divine Service will be conducted at 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. by the Rev. W. C. Oliver of Auckland. Collections are to be made on behalf of the Trust Fund.” Another item of interest reads: “The regular monthly meeting of the Tauranga Farmers’ Club and Acclimatization Society was held in the Council Chambers, Government Buildings, on Saturday afternoon. There were present: Captain E. G. Norris (in the chair), Messrs R. C. Jordan, R. Rhodes, J. Maxwell, P. C. Crump, J. L. Vercoe, J. Cook, H. Kirk, J Snodgrass, J. McPherson, J. Vogan, H. S. Brabant, E. Butt, H. H. Deßourbel, C. Spencer, Geo. Gardiner, and Captain Farrer.
