Pio Pio
Local papents and guardians will be glad to learn that a move has at last been made re the erection of a school at Pio Pio. Correspondence has been received in response to the recent deputation sent to Auckland, to the effect that the Inspector will pay a visit at a very early date to choose a site. The building of the school is then promised immediately a decision is made. Altogether boys, hip, hip, hooray! Summer is close upon us. The factory simply is increasing daily and everything points to a prosperous future.
Farm work is being actively pushed along. Mr Gorrange being particularly busy mowing and burning fern. Next sale day will be held early in November.
Mangapehi. Cricket.- On Saturday evening last local eleven, with Mr J. Page as scorer, travelled to Manunui to try conclusions with the team at the at : place. The match was played on Sunday under splendid weather conditions. There was only time for a single i innings match, and on this Mangapehi : won by the narrow margin of 3 runs. ' This is a creditable performance for us when it is considered that we have ; had almost no practice, as we have no ground as yet to play on. For Manui nui F. Hicks was the highest scorer, making 67 before he was disposed of. He played good, free cricket giving only one chance when his score was 25. He hit one 6 and ten 4's during his batting. Two others of the Manunui players reached double figures, viz., Webster 14, and Durand 2L For Mangapehi J. Gilbert topped the score with 35, made by careful cricket. P. Walsh also played nicely for his 24. Other Mangapehi men ,to reach double figures were H. Kingham 13 and B. Hayson 12. H. Johnson, who went in for Mangapehi, fifth wicket down, batted right through the innings to the last man, and though ; he compiled only 9 runs, played a good careful game. H. Mound, who usually plays a brisk game, had the_ misfortune to be run out at his first hit, owing to slipping en the matting. An unfortunate incident was the disabling of our wicket-keeper, A. Goodall, with . the first ball of the match, bowled by : Hayson, which rose and struck Goodall fairly in the mouth. Manunui, batting first, made 136, and Mangapehi brought their score up to 139 before .the last wicket fell. There was a i good deal of excitement, when our last : man, Fuiber, went in and about 5 ! runs were required to win. The i following are the scores:— i Manunui.—W. Webster, b Hayson, | 14; P.
