[PBOM ODE OWN COEEESPONDBNT.] The golf season closed last Saturday, when the final of Mr Hastie's trophy was concluded, and resulted in a win for Miss Jones, Mrs Candy being run-ner-up.

The local band played out on . Wednesday evening in the Octagon, and again on Sunday afternoon in the Domain, when there was a large attendance of townspeople, and also a considerable number of country people, and all thoroughly enjoyed the programme which was gone through.. \ Quite a number of the local bowlers intend being present at the opening of the Opunake green next Wednesday if the weather is favorable.

Those who braved the elements were rewarded - with a fiood programme, in which the following took part: — Miss D. Patterson, Miss Loudon, Mr and Mrs French, Mr and Mrs Berry, Mr F. Reader, Miss Gamlin, Mr K. Hill. Miss Loudon sang "The Dream of Paradise," with violin and 'cello obligate • Duets were rendered by Mr and Mrs Berry and by Messrs Reader and Berry. Miss D.
