MAIN TRUNK LINE.
PROGRESS OF SETTLEMENT.
[BY TELEGRAPH. —SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.] Wellington, Sunday. Things are surely ■? moving on the Main Trunk line, says the Waitangi correspondent r of .the Railway Review. „ Less than 12 short months since a white woman was a rarity here, except those passing in the train, but a recent social event shows that there are now quite a number of the gentler sex resident in the district. The event was the first "social" held in Waitangi. The efforts of the committee were rewarded by the assemblage of a company of some 50 persons, including visitors trom the neighbouring townships of Turangarere, Karioi, and Waiouru. Things went as merrily as the proverbial marriage bell, with music, dances, and songs. It is hoped that though the function was the first of its kind in Waitangi, it will not be the last. 1
