EARLY SETTLERS
Mombers of the Early Settlers' Association and all early settlers are invited to a garden party given by Mr. Henry Cook (one of the vice-presidrmtsO. at his residence at Friend-street, KaTori, next Saturday afternoon. Apart from the interesting history attached to the early settlement of Karori, interest in the early days will be reviewed by the exhibition of an old try-pot, which Mr. Cook*has had in his possession for some years, originally in uee on Mana Island, and since being brought to the mainland this old "pot" has been put to many uses. Visitors on Saturday afternoon are reminded that the nearest tram stop is at Hamiltonstreet, at the foot of the ohuroh hill. Mr. Cook's residence is on what was, in earlier days, known as Hughey's clearing. In the early days the Karori settlers planted their wheat with a hoe, and ground it in their hand-mills. Timber was then thick, and saw-milli plentiful. Much fine timber, used in the erection of houseg_ of Wellington, was grown at Karori.
