GREYTOWN.
. i O* (TOOK oua OWN COaaS3POND»irr.) September Last Thar, day afternoon, a.d ftgdn this morning, the Grey town School Cadet*, under propef supervision, armed with their newlyacquired rifles, marched to the butts, went through their exercise, as uaua’, very creditably, winding up with firing practi te—first with blank and then with ball cartridge. The rol* ley firing w. a. considered highly satisfactory. Iu the target fi*iug at 100 yard* four of the lada made bull’s eyes. ' A general meeting of the Greytow.it Phil* harmonic Society revealed the pleasing fact that, after paying all expanses,- the Commute* were free of debt. In according Mi*s«Hirech* berg a vote of thanks for her valuable services as pianiate, the members expressed a grateful appreciation of her kind and continuous services, both at rehearsals and concerts. A more suitable piano being much needed, the in* etrumentat. present in the Town Hall being very deficient in tone, it was resolved to hold • soiree early - in November, the proceeds to be devoted to the purchase of a good instrument. By particular request the singing members purpose giving a concert in Carterton shortly. In my report of the last concert an unintentional mistake occurs in the names of the three soprano* iu the four-part song “ Departure.” For Mesdatuea Wyett, it should have been Mias Hastwell, Miss Tally, and Mrs Black.
