(From Onr Own Correspondent.) Afarch 10.—There was a good attendance at tho Urcnui Sports yesterday. The weather was all that could be desired, and everything pasted off smoothly. Three Waitara representatives, Messrs. Stoddart, V. Tate, and J. Adlara, scored several wins each. The playing of the Waitara Municipal Band was voted Al, and contributed greatly to the pleasure of the fixture. As a token of Urenui’s appreciation of the fine programme of music discoursed, Air. A. R. Davis, of Rukcaruhe, took a list round, and succeeded in obtaining the sum of £3 14a in aid of tho band’s funds. The baud appreciate this spontaneous action very much. Mr.' Saunders had an excellent house here on Tuesday evening, when one of tho best programmes evor shown locally was screened. The Waitara Library will receive £2O 17s 3d as Government subsidy, this amount coming from the amount voted by Parliament.
