HAREWOOD ROAD SCHOOL.

The annual school treat to the children belonging to this school was held in the school ground on Thursday, the Bth inatant, when the children, together with a good many of their parents and friends, and several visitors, assembled at 2 p.m. The games usual on such occasions were entered into with spirit, and at about four o’clock tea was announced, the tables being laid in the schoolroom, which was very tastefully decorated with evergreens and flowers. After the children’s tea the tables were re-laid for the adults, a large number of whom collected during the afternoon. The provisions and arrangement of the tables, it is almost needless to say, were excellent, reflecting great credit on those ladies of the district who presided over them. The committee, in accordance with established custom, took advantage of the occasion to distribute the prizes gained at the yearly examination to the successful competitors, the examination having been ■ conducted by the Bev.
