NEW YEAR’S EVE.
PASSED OFF QUIETLY. The absence of many people from town must account for the quiet manner in which the year 1925 was ushered in at^ |1 o KuiU. At 12 o’clock there were aglow stray crackers fired off, and the str ms of “Aluld Lang Syne” were heard in several, households. There was no,? even the whistle of a locomotive to mark' Ll.o departure of the old year, and the advent of 1925. On New Year’s Day there was a large number of motor ears from outside districts in Tc Kuiti, either going to or coming from New Plymouth and the streets had a busy appearance in the afternoon, and the same condition applied to yesterday and this morning. Even with, the bad weather that prevailed during the Christmas Holidays, there must have been a considerable larger lmniber of motorists travelling between tc Kuiti and New Plymouth than (faring the same holiday season last year.
