The following items of news are reprinted from the Bay of Plenty Times of fifty years ago:
"To-morrow night the programme of the Mutual shows a paper to be read by Mr Crabbe, on Tauranga, which should not fail to be of considerable interest as our town is one of the few in New Zealand which can claim a past history of unusual and exciting interest, and the compiler has been to much trouble to collect material for his paper. The paper we understand will deal with Tauranga history from 1836 to 1866 and will be illustrated with photographs, sketches, plan of Gate Pa and one of the earliest plans of the town showing the first buildings, redoubts, trees, landing places and etc., prior and up to 1566. Visitors are cordially invited to attend this meeting."
"Monday saw a sudden change to summer weather, the thermometer registering 74 degrees in the shade at 2 p.m. an advance of several degree on anything yet experienced this season. Yesterday however, the weather again changed and after a very hot morning a stiff hreeze set in from the south-east and rainy squalls traversed the out districts, while in town the dust was blown about most unpleasantly. Rain fell heavily later on." "We beg to call the attention of the athletic portion of the community notifying the opening of the cricket season. This manly game owing to various causes has not flourished here for the last three of four years; there is plenty of material to make a first class club, and considering the advantages which a knowledge of cricket gives to young men, it is a disgrace that the club has been; allowed to dwindle away as it has done. .We hope that the younger portion of the community will at once join and put in an appearance every Thursday, not only for the benefit that will accrue for themselves, but to encourage those who have taken the matter in hand. We have no doubt that plenty of outside support will be forthcoming if it is clearly shown that the members of the club mean business."
