WAITARA.

FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT. August 6.—The Arapawa is still ashore and in a bad position, practically on the foundation of the north wall. Already considerable damage has been dene to the vessel, and should a northerly blow spring up it might mean disaster to the boat. The Municipal Band is in a moribund condition apparently through lack of interest by the playing members, borne of them are still keen, but others are not. I regret to hear that Air. H. Langman’s health causes considerable anxiety to his friends; and Mr. G. Bird, though better for his prolonged rest, is stiff far from well. Both are suffering from the aftermath of tho influenza epidemic. Another old identity has passed away in Mr. G. Jupp, of Tikorangi, at the advanced age of 92. Ho was an old soldier and was one of the original settlers in Tikorangi after tho war. Ho came out from England in tho early days. When will it end? Owing to industrial troubles in England, a further rise in cotton goods is announced and all hopes of puces coming down at present haA been abandoned. Lucky for you at Rennie’s Sale wool and cotton dress goods can now be bought cheaper than in London —see page 2*
