TOKO ROAD NOTES.

(From ii Correspondent.) A concert and dance was hold in the Coronation Hall on Thursday evening last in aid of the hall improvement funds. The concert programme was arranged by Mr E. T. King (H.M.), assisted by Mrs Maunscll. Mr W. A. Ficldes occupied the chair. The dance, conducted hy the hall committee, was kept going until the early hours of the morning. Speaking of the hall, 1 might say that it has been lately lined throughout with match lining, and is very nice and comfortable. The following contributed items to the programme: Pianoforte duet, Mrs and Miss Marfell ; songs, Miss Ficldes pJ), Mrs A. Campbell, Mrs Kennedy pJ), Miss Maunscll (-), Mr Day {-), Mr T. A. Uncock PJ), Mr

Lucomi (2) ; recitation, Mr H. Campbell ; pionaforte solos, Miss Marioil and Miss Ficldcs; Mr E. T. King gave a short address 011 the burning question of the day, “No-lieeuse,” which was very interesting. Mr T. A. Bocock (chairman of hall committee) thanked those who had promoted the concert, and • all who had rendered items to the programme, and stated that the hall was now free of debt, with a little money in baud to pay for the piano which the committee had purchased from Mr Luccna on very reasonable terms. A hearty vote of thanks was accorded Mr Ficldcs for taking the chair that evening. Supper was handed round by the ladies and done justice to before the dance. Mrs Bernard supplied the music for dance and Mr F. Marfell acted as 151. C. The' creamery is taking milk every second day, but the amount received is yet very small, owing probably to a number of farms changing hands. Suppliers should be up and doing, as it is the early milk that pays. I understand that the factory directors will pay a good price for August milk. Wo have had a very mild winter, grass is growing everywhere, and given a good spring the coming season should he a record one for the farmer. Our school is closed for a w*eek or two owing to the outbreak of measles among the pupils. We have had quite a series of accidents here lately. Mr J. Gardiner (manager of Mr C. Bayly’s estate) met with a very painful accident on Saturday morning. He was in the act of chopping some wood, when a piece flew up and struck him on the nose, making a nasty cut and breaking a hone. Only the day before Ills little hoy Jack was thrown from his pony and got a nasty cut on tinforehead; and then the same morning one of Mr Bayly’s men (Mr Cray) had just started work when he hurst a blood-vessel in the leg and hud to be taken out to the doctor.
