Christmas Vacation.

TARARU SCHOOL, , The annual picnic and breaking up, held in Mr John Wilson's paddock yesterday, was in every way :a great wcoess. The catering* was done by Mr Scoot, and was excellent, the details on the, ground being attended to '<■ by. an energetic committee of ladies, under the. direction of Mrs Darrow. During the""" afternoon the majority of , the committee men were in attendance, and worked hard to ensure the enjoyment of the children. ■; After tea all' adjourned to the Sunday School adjacent, where Mr S. Dabb, Secretary of the Coramitte, took the Chair, in the absence of-Mr W. N. Cli ra °- who* is, we regret to say, still in the Hospital ."
