INGLEWOOD.

FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT. April 2.—On Sunday night a motorcycle ridden by Mr. 1. Burkhardt collided with, a gig driven by Mr. A. Shrader. Young Burkhardt escaped with, a cut forehead and sundry bruises. The motor-cycle suffered more severely. Mr. A. Baker, teller in the Bank of New Zealand here, has received notice of his transfer as accountant to the bank at Greymouth. Mr. Carmine, of Petone, takes Mr Baker’s place here. Friends will regret to hear of the death of Mrs. F. Bracegirdle, of Kaimata, which took place at New Plymouth on Monday last. The Bracegirdles were among the earlier settlers of Kaimata and Mrs. Bracegirdle will always be remembered for her ready help and kindly sympathy ifi any trouble. The funeral left the Anglican Church this afternoon for the Inglewood Cemetery. A long cortege and many beautiful floral emblems showed the esteem in which the deceased lady was held. A widower and grown-up tamily are left to mourn their loss. The attendance at the mission in St. Joseph's (Catholic) Church all last week must have been very gratifying to the R-edemptorist Fathers who conducted it. The church, which is the largest in Inglewood, was crowded in every part at each service. The missioner, Rev. Father Whelan, is a very forcible speaker and many nou-Catholics were conspicuous in tbeir attendance at the services.

The special annual thanksgiving services in St. Andrew’s (Anglican) Church on Sunday last were largely attended, especially the evening sendee, when the church was crowded. The collections for the day were over £7O. Tlie Salvation Army harvest thanksgiving services were held on Sunday and Monday. A concert and sale of produce was held last night. .The New Plymouth Salvation Army Band discoursed sweet music in the street before the opening of the concert. At the conclusion Mr. H. L. Outfield auctioned the gifts, which brought in a very welcome addition to the corps funds. Miss Blakie, physical culture instructress, visited the Inglewood School this week, and spent a day and a half examining and instructing the pupils in physical exercises, etc. Mr. Chis. Hamerton was farewelled at the Inglewood Club on Monday night. He was presented with a handsome leather travelling bag from his fellowmembers.
