AT PETONE.
As was to be expected, the Arbor Day observances at the Hutt Park were marred to a certain extent by the in clement weather, nevertheless, over seven hundred trt:§? and shrubs were planted, which, situated where they are, should be of lasting benefit so tar as sheltering and improving the park are concerned. The labours of the adult workers were made less arduous by the assistance of two or three hundred Hutt and Petone school children. Some two hundred larches were received from the Agricultural Department, while other substantial gifts of trees, etc., were donated by Messrs. Waugh and Cooper, Major M'Donald, and Mr. W. 11. Baldwin. As he was unable to be present, Mr. F. J. Pinny intimated that at some later date he would personally attend to the planting of his promised consignment of trees. During the afternoon Mr. Robert Lee spoke to the children concerning the true observance; of Arbor Day.
