HARI HARI NOTES.

(Our Own Correspondent) The first Uarihari Winter Show is to be field in the new hall on June 30 next. The nett proceeds,of the Show will go towards funds for a car just recently purchased by the Rev. Young. Next year the Show will be held about the first week in March.

Mr and Mrs J. J. McKay are at present on a holiday visit to the North Island. The contractors for the new hall expect to have the building completed any day now.

Messrs M. Houston and Co., of Hokitika, submitted to public auction on behalf of John Ferguson recently. 20 first grade Jersey cows, coming into profit. The whole herd averaged close on £9 per head, the top price being pp.id for two cows, for which Mr L. Haddock gave £lO 17/6 apiece.

The local butter factory closed down at the end of May. What little croi is now produced on the Flat is being sent to Hokitika.

A working bee has been going strong since last Saturday week, doing odd jobs around the new hall. The County roadman has also been kept going putting 3 in concrete pipes and filling in the approach to the front of the hall. The main highway, or Alain South Road, from the local store to the Little Wanganui River is in a very bad state at present, with only pne roadman on the section referred to. Plenty of road metal is close handy, but the roadman can now deliver the gravel on a long handled shovel. The Public Works horses and drays are somewhere between the Big Wanganui and Duffers Creek. 9 The sooner they get orders to shift to the Little Wanganui portion of the road the better.

Rev. Father O’Doherty, Parish Priest of Ross, paid a visit recently to this locality, and then left on his long journey to the .Far South.

The sports meeting which was to have taken place on the 16th of this month at Waiho Gorge had to be postponed on account of insufficient nominations coming forward. The annual sports here, which were to take place on Wednesday next, have been postponed until the 14th of next month.

This (Monday) evening, the opening of the new Public Hall will take place. Many visitors are expected from as far north as Greymouth, and from Okura in the southern district.
