(From Our Own Correspondent). The Xgaturi school picnic was held in the Xgaturi Domain on Friday last in ideal weather. A splendid gathering of parents and settlers were present, and a most enjoyable day was spent amongst young nnd old. Games were played by the young folk of the district. The ladies supplied a very nice lunch and dainty afternoon tea. Mr, D. Morison (chairman) presented the prize money and thanked all who had made the picnic such a success. He asked Mr J.
