(From Our Own Correspondent.) ' The Mayor, Mr. J. Sutherland, is on a business visit to Auckland. The many friends of Mr. W. Rees, who i was injured in the recent motor accident at Rugby Road, will be pleased to learn tiiat he is making a good recovery at "the New Plymouth hospital. Sheep fanners around here have experienced a record lambing season, the percentage being exceptionally high. The manager of the Moa Dairy Company anticipates a record year. New suppliers have joined up, whilst casein plants are to be erected at Dudley Road and Norfolk Road, and, when finished, all the branch factories will be able to extract their own casein, a commodity that has a great future. Daffodil Day was celebrated at the Town Hall on a recent afternoon, a haby show, held'under the auspices of the Plunket Nurse Association, creating a great deal of interest. There was a good attendance, and the decorations were greatly admired. The entries for the competition were numerous, and the judge. Nurse Williams, experienced some difficulty in selecting the winners. The proceedings were opened by the Deputy Mayor, Mr. Fawcett. Mrs. A. Lile had charge of the afternoon tea arrangements, and, with willing assistants, adequately catered for the wants of all. The yellow stall, where the narcissi were, looking very effective, was presided over by Mesdamcs Grant, Partridge, and Yarndley; and the blue stall, where the favorite magnolia predominated, was in the charge of Mesdames Horner, Darlow, Armstrong, and Kidd. The sweet stall was conducted by Mesdames Farquhar and Robb, and was in great demand, all the contents being soon sold. Miss N. O'Carrol had charge of the guessing competition, and did good business. The whole proceedings were a great success, and the energetic band of workers are to be complimented on their efforts. The results of the competitions were announced by the Rev. Stanton and the prizes were presented by the Mayoress.
