CARTERTON

(From Our Own Correspondent.)

The death occurred, here on Monday of Miss Rosalia Shutkowski, daughter of Mr P. 'Shutkowski, ex-Borough Cuncillor. Deceased was buried on Wednesady, when a number of relatives and friends attended.

Mr J. MclChnzie, well-known in football circles, was the recipient of a valuable set of carvers, given him by his club mates, on the occasion of his wedding. The local Brass Band have now started a series of socials, the first being held tn Monday evening, when a fair numter of terpsichoi’eans indulged in dancing, * ic., till the “wee sms’” houi's oi the morning. The re-opening 6f the Homan Catholic Chui'ch took place on Sunday, and despite the boisterous weather, the congregation in the morning was large, but the evea-ng service was poorly attended owing to the rain. The choir was an excellent one, and was comprised of local singers, assisted by the Lower Valley choirs. The Very Rev. Father Lewis (’Wellington) preached. The members of the Lower Hutt Club (Ruakuras) ‘-paid us a visit on Monday, and indulged in a game with our local girls. The game was a good one, the visitors having chiefly tne advantage, their superior play and good judgment being responsible for five goals, while only one goal was scored against them. Carterton, for a new t«am, played very creditably, but put in a lot of unnecessary hard work and failed to rush and follow up. The visitors were entertained at luncheon and afternoon tea by the local girls, and rather a pleasant time was spent with song and music. Before dispeising Mr Jackson, for the Hutt girls, warxniy thanked the Carterton Club members for their hospitality—a kindness the visitors would not forget. Mr Nicolson, for the home team, responded, stating it was a pleasure to be able to entertain such a team as the Ruakuras, and regretted thear stay was short. He hoped in a short time to have a return match played, when Carterton’s laurels might be retrieved.

Tarataki factory on Tuesday, en route for W ellington. Still thirty tons remain, and this will be shipped as soon as the buyers are ready to take delivery. Mr Buchanan, M.H.R., gave a pre-sea. sional address here on Wednesday, when he was listened to by a large audience. The speaker reviewed the recent session’s work, and blamed the members of the Government party for so much time wasted. At the conclusion he was accorded a hearty vote of thanks. Mr J. McKenzie was married to-day (Thursday) to Miss Minnie Diamond, of Carterton, when a large assemblage was present at St. Mark's Church to witness the performing of the ceremony. Misses Ruth Diamond, E. Dockery, and L. Hart were bridesmaids and Mr Bert McKenzie best man.
