The second of the winter assemblies, conducted by Mrs Orchard, was held in the Town Hall on Wednesday, when a very enjoyable evening was spent by those in attendance. We give a reminder of the entertainment to be given in the Town Hall on Saturday evening by Prof. J. J. Stagpoole. Pou, the noted Maori wrestler, is to appear, and a trial between him aud the Professor, who is a wrestler of note, will take place. A good evening’s amusement may be anticipated. Mr W. D. Scott, our local auctioneer, finding his Opunake yards too small to accommodate the quantity of stock coming forward, has made considerable additions to them. At his sale on Friday last they proved none too large as they were filled to thenutmost capacity, and he had one of the most successful sales which has been held in Opunake for some years. Being in the centre of the township they are very convenient for those attending sales.
