POHANGINA NOTES.

(From Our Own Correspondent.)

POHANGINA, July 4. On Tuesday evening last, a large assembly of Pohangina residents and other friends congregated at the hall to attend a kitchen tea'given to Miss P. Moar in view of her approaching marriage. A most enjoyable tune was spent with dancing and competitions, while much appreciated vocal solos wore rendered by Miss A. Croft and Mr H. Brooks. Mr Geo. Passey, in making the presentation on behalf of the friends present, referred to Miss Moar, as being one of the most popular members of the younger generation. As an enthusiastic member of tlie Tennis Club and a capable worker in all other social activities, her departure would prove a distinct loss to Pohangina. Mr T. Sinclair also took tho opportunity of convoying tho best wishes of the Tennis Club to Miss Moar and asking her to accept from them a silver-mounted oak tray. Mr Sinclair remarked that Miss Moar had been a keenly interested member of the club ever since its inception so that her departure would mean to them the loss of a most popular member. Mr K. McLeavy, on behalf of his fiancee replied in a few well chosen words, thanking all for their gifts and good wishes, after* which tho guests of the evening, assisted by friends, proceeded to open the numerous bundles before them, a most useful and valuable collection being displayed. The competitions caused a great deal of amusement and hard thinking, the “Book-title” being won by Mrs Watson and Mrs Drummond, . while Miss A. Croft secured first prize in the second competition. A “Monte Carlo” waltz was won by Mr AVells and Miss Dawson. After a dainty supper had been partaken of dancing continued, Mr L. Wagstaff acting as M.C. On Sunday afternoon, at the close of the service at the Methodist Church, Rev. Mr Parker took the opportunity, on behalf of the congregation, of presenting Miss Moar with a beautiful set of crystal wear. As organist for the church Miss Moar had always willingly given her services at all times and also proved an earnest worker in all church activities. It was with keen regret that they said good-bye, but on her departure she carried with her the best wishes of the congregation for happiness in her future married life. Mr J. Moar, on behalf of his sister, replied, thanking one and all for their kindness and good wishes.
