Tourists travelling between Rotorua j and Auckland can rely upon getting an excellent hot luncheon at the Frankton Hotel, Frankton Juncton, where the ! train stops 20 minutes.* rp J.rain arrangements regarding the t Hamilton Races are given elsewhere. It is proposed to hold an open air con- j cert in the Sanatorium grounds on Friday the I3th iust i a aid of the funds of the Rotorua Brass Band. The proceeds of the promenade concert ill aid of 1 lie ' Library fund amounted to £<; 10s 3d. A report is unadvoidably held over. Three thousand sheep from the Opouriou Estate Whakatane, passed through i this morning for Ohaupo, Mr Gregory in charge. Mr and Mrs Maunder return thanks, in another column, for the kindness and sympathy evinced by their friends in Rotorua over (heir recent trouble in connection with the recent fire. Mr Joseph William Salmon is gazetted ;is rea-istarof births, deaths and marriages for the District of Taupo, also as vaccination inspector, for the same district, vice Gavin Mclntyrc Park. Mr Percy Smith, surveyor general arrived from Tokaauu on Friday last and left for Auckland yesterday morning. lie had lengthy conversations with Mr Malfroy and others regarding sanitary measures to be adopted in reference to hotels and! boarding-houses. tl.c outcome of which will probably be apparoiit after Mr Smith has consulted with the Con- J tral Board of Health. The Railway Department at the request of the Hamilton and Cambridge School Committees lias arranged to run an excursion train from these places to Rotorua on Friday the 13th iiist. In consequence of the heavy grades the number of passengers has been limited to 300. The traiii will leave Cambridge at. about 7 a.m. and is timed to start on the return journey at -4 p.m. The excursionists it is reckoned will have about five hours in Rotorua. At the Town Board meeting Mr Dansey made reference to the courageous conduct of young Giles on the occasion of the recent fire at Maunder's boarding house and asked if the Board would sanction a letter addressed to the Humane Society recommending Giles as a fitting recipientof the Society'smedal Dr Ginders spoke in the highest terms of praise of the young man's action and said that the letter should be sent to the Royal Hu- I mane Society of Australasia, the office of which was in Melbourne. This was unanimously agreed to and Mr Dansey will accordingly forward full particulars of Giles' heroic act. From ii variety °f circumstances we aie unable to provide' ur readers with the usual amount of diver-fifed local informa'itin. contained in tliis column. In the first pluce the Town Board report was somewhat lengthy ; then the Governor caine. and our dulled senso of loyalty was awakened so that we were impelled to (.'ive the address read ly the first mayor of Cooljfardie and His Excellency's reply thereto, verbitim ot literatim. We had reserved space, until the mee'ing at Tame te Kapua intervene!, for an elaborate report, of Mr Bou't's concert, written by an expert thoroughly »erscd in all the mysteries of musical technique, but it has not yet reached us. IVe know, however, that, the concert was a di-tinct success : that the silv'ry voiced boy-hoprano warbled in a manner that would put a nightingale to the blush ; that in Mrs Ki'frour the audience were introduced to a cantatrico possessed of a vice of th purest tone and of wondrous flexibility ; tliat the plavinsr of Mrs Moses was a revelation ; that Mr Richardson's sympathetic voice gains more and more upon his bearer", and that as a humourous raconteur Mr Franklin i is inimitable. We are also aware that Mr James Shaw was in the chair and filled the duties of the position as to the manner born.
