Own Correspondent.

The difficulty of procuring a piano for use at any of our local entertainments has been solved by the purchase of a fine instrument for the hall from the British and Continental Company. The piano was used for the first time last Saturday at the weekly dancing class. The class has been started with the object of raising money to pay for a piano. So far the dances have proved an eminent success both socially and financially. This success has been due in great measure to the courtesy of Mrs Kells, who has willingly provided excellent dance music on the popular accordeon. The long spell of dry weather is responsible for the most unusual state of our roads. They have never been better, and, so dry and hard have they become that it would take exceptionally heavy rain to make them as bad as they were at this time last year. Their present condition has given rise to the hope that they will not cut up so badly when the creamery carts resume their daily run in August. Two nf the worst placeß on the main road have been improved very materially by the construction of deep drains to carry off the water which accumulates in each place. The Kio Kio station road has, however, been left to take its chance. The need for a culvert opposite Mr T. Campbell's residence is very urgent, while several large holes only await the rain to become tough propositions for the farmers when they have to cart their spring manures.
