MANAIA.
♦ — (Our Own Correspondent.) Football is all the go just now. The new banner won by the redoubtable Waimates has at last arrived and received its true meed of homage, and it is to be hoped that it will remain with the present holders. Considerable interest is attached ,to the final match with the Stars on the 17th, the issues being—winning of banner, and football, to be presented by Mr J. M. Kelly, of the Egmont Hotel, and a donation promised by a Manaia gentleman. Meantime Miss Alice McCarthy is busily engaged on a blue and black hamur for the Waimates’ own benefit. The Mutual Improvement Association is already a great success, whilst in the accomplishment of its object it is catering for the diversity of tastes, it may be well said to have pleased all and offended none. As evidence of the sympathy existing between the sister towns of Opituake and Manaia, it should be noted that considerable regret is even now being expressed at the misfortune of your jetty. A petition is being prepared to ask the Acclimatisation Society to secure the action of the Legislature in declaring a “ close season ” for hares. Next month the present Town Board’s term , of office expires aud an election take? place.
