(Our Own Correspondent). HARI HARL June 11. The concert held in the Public Hall last evening was a decided success as far as amateur theatricals are concerned. The performers surpassed themselves in every way. Those worthy of special mention weie Airs.

While Messrs George Robertson, Albert Smythe, George Cooper, Frank and Gordon Ford and Miss K. Adamson carried out their parts admirably. The hall was packed and the audience was well pleased with the performance although it was a trifle short. The proceeds go towards forming a tennis club here.

We are well off for entertainments lately. “The Follies” gave a performance about a fortnight ago and pay a return visit on June 17. The wfeather down here’ has been

fine for quite a while now, with the exception of a few drops of rain. We have had some very hard frosts lately and one can have ice cream in the morning, the milk being frozen. Rain will be welcome to quite a few as the tanks are dry and the water has to be'carried. Mr. C. D. Lucas- arrived back after spending a holiday in Christchurch.
