(From Our Own Correspondent). LABOUR DAY. There was a very fair attendance at the benefit football match held -in the Manaia. Domain on Monday. The great attraction of the day was the “Dark Town Fire Brigade.” This was well organised, and caused much amusement. The engine was a masterpiece. The precession formed up at the Fire Brigade Station at 1 p.m., and, headed by the Manaia Municipal Brass Band, under Conductor Cosgrove, it marched to the Domain. The Dark Town Brigade’s services were utilised on the way, when, it gave a grand display of effiicency in putting out a fire, causing much merriment for all onlookers. The Manaia Municipal Band played a wel 1 - selected programme at the Domain. A “hard-up” dance was held in the evening for the same cause, and all who attended thoroughly enjoyed themselves. The Manaia Fire Brigade is to he commended on its efforts for a worthy cause. POLITICAL. Mr Green, National candidate for Egmont, had a very good meeting at Kapuni on Monday night.
