CONCERT AT PATEAROA.

Notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather a record crowd from all paits of the Mnniototo Plain gathered at the Patearoa Hall on Friday night to attend a concert in aid of the Patearoa School funds. The hall was packed to the doors, and about £4O will accrue to the school funds as a result. Great credit is due to the organisers and to the performers, some 20 in number.
