A general exodus took place from Waitara on Saturday to see the football match between Auckland and Taranaki in New Plymouth, and motor cars and motor buses reaped !i rich harvest. 1 daresay a lot of people who have liked to go wete unable to get owing to the train service not being-, available. Owing to counter attractions during that week, the committee of the Waitara Choral Society lias decided to postpone the concert advertised for the 18th inst. It has now been arranged to hold it instead on October 2. Particulars wilf be advertised later.
Troopers D. Ttate and J. Taylor arrived on Saturday morning by motor car from New Plymouth. Both are looking well. Lieut. C. T.ate had to go with the Ellenga to Wellington on duty. It has been arranged to hold a committee meeting to-night in the Council Chambers to further the arrangements for the returned soldiers' welcome home ball.
