STEWART ISLAND.

One of those pleasant breaks in the monotony of island life, in the shape of a school concert, took place in the Half Moon Bay Hall on the evening of the 14th inst. The entertainment, ■which was organised by The Heck school committee, proved very popular, the building being crowded. Mr J. H. Thompson, master of The Heck school, presided.
