StewaitV £Feuton street.* j A Dance will take place .n the Pui:eroa' Hall under the auspices of tlie Amutour Brass Band on Thursday night. Mr Priestlov, an engineer nndjr 011- < gagoment to Mr Fernio, passed through on his road to Taupo oa S. in.lay. Mr Evans, of Cambridge, has been eonducting Presbyterian Service in the School room for the past two Sundays. 1 The Promoters of the Lite concert return thanks in another column for the liberal patronage extended to them. - Constable Butler, who has been stationed at To Whaiti for some time past, has been transferred to Auckland,and left ; for the city by Tuesday's train. ' Clauds of dust have been swirling along the streets during the past few days and I suggest the occasional use cf the street j stand-pipes. The office erected by Mr Corlett for ; Messrs Tlios Cook and Son, in Hiuemoa st., is now finished. Mr Battye, thercpre- | tentative hero of the firm, enters into j occupancy today. Entries for the New Year's Day sports of the Rotorua Brass Band must be in the hands of the Committee by next Monday at 8 p.m. Tenders for the booth must also be in at the sayie time. The Monthly Record of the Auckland Y. I M.C.A. is to hand. Besides being a record j of the Association's work during the pre- | ceding month much. matter of a helpful j nature and of general interest will be | found in its pages. As only one tender w/is received for the i crop of standing hay on the slope of Pukeroaand the figure offered was much too low, the Board haw decided to with- | draw it from ado and cut and stack on their own account. Mr Orocott, who has been engaged in the local telegraph office for some time loft to resume his duties in Wellington last, week, and has been succeeded by Mr Forrest, of the Aucklandoffice. MrGrocott was in indifferent health when he arrived here but benefitted greatly by his stay. During the past few days about -iO of the men engaged on the road works near Tc Whaiti have ceased work and taken their departure for fresh fields. There are still about 30 men engaged in the various gangs and it is not supposed that t his number will be much increased before February. The erection of the shop and dwelling house at the corner of Feiiton and Puku-atua-strcct by Messrs A. and G. Brook for Mr 11. Stewart, hairdresser, fills up the four corners of that intersection—the first to bo so completed. Mr Stewart is moving into his new premises as we pro to press. May all good fortune atlend him. A picnic of the members of the combined- churches and schools will take place on New Year's Day. Te Ngae is the chosen spot, and the holiday makers will be conveyed to their destination by steam launch and vehicles. We trust that the concord amongst the religious bodies thus betokened will be long continued, and that thepicnie will belargely attended. Mr A Brady, formerly in. charge of the bar at Lake House, lias entered into business as hair dresser and tobaccouist in the shop formerly occupied by Mr McFadyeu, saddler. Mr Brady is an expert in tonsorial matters and as he also caters for that vast section of the public who indulge in the soothing weed lie will doubtless secure a oonsidera&le share of support. The attention of tourists and others is drawn to an advertisement in another column containing particulars of a daily coach service which has been established between Rotorua and Okoroire. Evenone who has traversed the route speaks j in raptures of its picturesqueness and as ! the fares are moderate (10s each way) the ! line will no doubt be liberal'y patronised. ] Coaches start from each end daily, Sun- j days not excepted, at 10 a. in. On Monday morning the railway station presented a scene almost on a par ' with that of the previous Thursday. The j train was crowded with passengers— j tourists on their way back to Auckland and residents bent on spending their Chri stums with friends elsewhere. Amongst the latter were Mr and Mrs Williams, Mr and -Miss Wylio, Galatea, Mr Bennarand Miss Mandeno, Maketuand Messrs Webber Lynds and others from this town. We trust their trip will prove a pleasant one* The opening of the Paeroa extension of the railway line was celebrated on Friday j last, in presence of the Minister of Rail- I ways, with all tlie eclat customary on such ! occasions. The time-table is published ! in another column from which it will bo seen that on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays tliero are early morning trains | between Te Arolia and Ohinemuri, and j eveningtrainson Tuesdays, Thursdays and I Saturdays.

MrMalfroy stated at the meeting of tho town Board on Friday that the work of erecting the shelter over the new Sulphur Baths will be commenced forthwith. In the meantime a calico awning has been put up. Two shelters will be provided, one on the women's and the other onf the men's side. The supports will be of rimu, and the roof of kauri constructed in such a manner as to permit the escape of the sulphur fumes. During the excessively hot weather of the past week tho want of these shelters was most apparent. The regulations for the inspection of milk and dairies in the province of Auckland are gazetted. They provide for the registration with the local Board of all persons carrying on the trade of cowkeepers, dairymen, or purveyors of milk; the inspection of cattle in dairies; the lighting, ventilating, cleaning, drainage and water supply of dairies, cowsheds, and yards; for securing the cleanliness of milk shops and vessels; for prescribing precautions to be taken for protecting milk against infection or contamination, and for prohibiting the sale of milk in | cases where tho public health would be likely to be endangered by such sale. At the New Year thesi regulations will come into force. Captain Canese of the s.s. Te Koa which arrived in Auckland on Thursday last reported that on Wednesday morning when a few miles to the northward of Tologa Bay, he observed what appeared to bo a volcanic eruption some miles inland. The To Koa was about ten miles off the land at the time, and the attention of Captain Canese was attracted by a large column of smoke and fire which suddenly shot up into the air to a tremendous height.. If had all the appearance of a sudden rush of steam, smoke, and flame, tho latter of a Variety of colours. Captain ■ Canese does not think it was a bush tire, but inclines to the idea of a volcanic eruption. The direction in which it was seen would be somewhere about the Urewera Conn try.- So fav, nothing has been heard of any disturbance in tho direction indicated.
