The adjourned sports meeting at Kaponga, promoted by the Oddfellows' Lodge, will be held on Thursday, when a successful day's outing is anticipated. There will be no meeting of the Hawera Borough Council this week. It haß been postponed until Wednesday, next week, owing to the absence of the Mayor, who is in Wellington. At the Opera House on Monday evening, whan the welcome social was tendered to the Rev. Mr Cassell and Mrß Cassell, the tables in the hall and the stag© were prettily decorated. The ladies who dad the work must have gone ip a great deal of trouble to produce the effect. The Sydney-Auckland steamer apparently failed to connect with the Suez line last week, and' therefore no English mail arrived to-day. Probably it will come by way of Wellington, and arrive in Hawera on Thursday evening. Mr Guy Livingston reports: — The tainfan at Ohawe for the month of November was 1.98, falling on 6 days, the highest fall being on the 9th, when 1.22 -was recorded. For the corresponding month last year 3.73 fell on 8 days, and for 1905 3.92 fell on 10 days. On Monday evening about 8.30 Mr John Flynn and Mr C. Aitkin were driving along the South road, and when they got close to Mr C. A. Budge's residetace', by some means Mr Flynn -was thrown heavily out of the trap. As it was thought that Mr Flynn was seriously injured Mr Budge rang up Hawera, and Dr. Brown went out. Upon examination it was found that Mr Flynn had broken two .ribs' on the left side, one piercing the lung. His many friends will wash him a speedy recovery. It would be hard to beat Isaac Ferguson's criminal record (says a Melbourne paper). He is only 17 years of age, but he has already been sentenced at Melbourne and Ballarat to eight and a half years' imprisonment on nine charges of housebreaking and larceny. Ferguson was Bent to Pentridge in November, 1906, and at the request of' the Salvation Army he was transferred in Optober last to a reformatory farm at Bayswater, whence he escaped on Novethber 2. During the last week or two the police have been inundated with reports of housebreaking from Kew, Kensington, South Yarra and St. Kilda, and recently Ferguson was ar-! tested. Six charges df n6usebreaking and stealing were laid against the youth. He admitted all the charges, and also confessed to ten other offences of housebreaking. When he was sent to Pentridge he was allowed to mix freely with the short-sentence men and, to use his own words, "he learned more in the 12 months ne was there than he was ever likely to learn again." • • A concert is to be given by Mr J Higham's Orchestral Concert Company in the Manaia Town Hall on Wednesdayday, December 11.
