ENJOYABLE! CONCERT.

The local Presbyterians organised a concert which took place on Tuesday evening last, the proceeds of which were to be applied to the purchase of a car for the loc-al Presbyterian minister, when he is appointed. Great praise is due to Mr. Hair-re, the organuser, for the excellent programme .submitted, and also to- all those who rendered the various items. All items were greeted' with well- earned applause. It would- be unfair to. particularise, as the items were all good and above the average. The following rendered items • Pianoforte solo.-, Misses Tong and Hall; recitation, Miss Elva. Sutherland; isong. Mr. Mawhinmey ; -recitation, Mr 3?. McKay; cello solo, Mr A. Huston; isong, Miss Sutherland; recitation, Master lan McDonald ; glee, Mrs Harre, Masses Huston, McDonald ami Mr McDonald, with Miss Lord (piano) and Mr. lUarre (violin); song, Miss -Boagey; dialogue, Miaisfens G. Garrick and Allan McDonald; song, Miss Has well; recitation, Master Willie Watt; isong, Mr. Ron. Fraser. A short sketch was very well done -by the following: Mr. Harre, Misis Lord, Miss Huston, Miss Maggie Forbes, and Messrs S. McDonald, P. McKay, and O. Ellett. The accompaniments- were played by Misses Slieild, Boagey, Lord, Sutherland, and Mr. A. Huston. Mr. Huston thanked the various performers for the good programme they had submitted, ia-nd the singing of the National Anthem brought a very successful concert to- am end. The car fund will be augmented by about £lO as a -result of the effort.

SUCCESSFUL- DAIR.YING

The dairying season in this district is drawing to a- dose, after a very successful period -as fair as production is concerned. Butter has been manufactured -since May, and the factory running every day for the last fortnight. The pastures are all looking well, and in most cases plenty of rough feed to carry the- cows on well into June is available. The weather for late autumn has been good, and the growth is quite noticeable-. Mr. Hall, with his -son and daughter, left on a motor trip to- Auckland, via Mokau, on Friday, we wish, them a pleasant holiday and safe return. _ The local school resumed again on Monday last after a fortnight holiday with -a roll number of 97 and, as the school is too smlall for that number, several classes' have to be- taught in the local ha-11. It is to be hoped that the- department will soon be able- to find the money for a new school, as it is one of the oldest -school buildings on the coast, and has- been recognised- for .some time as being too old for repairs or additions. It is quite out of date in comparison with school buildings of the present day.
