GREYMOUTH.
[special]
APRIL 17,
The Kaitangata relief fund fete came off to-day, and had gloriouß weather. A procession consisting of the Fire Brigade, Foresters, Oddfellows, Hibernians, and Cadet bands marchod to the railway station, and were taken to the racecourse, whore sportß of nil kinds were held. Greymouth turned out en masse, even tho hotels were closed, and tho whole affair was a success.
An Art Exhibition on behalf of tho Church of England passage fund has been on view in the Public Hall during the last three nights, and has been largely attended. An exhibit of Mr Helms', comprising coins and insects, is admitted to be one of the best collections in tho Australasian Colonies. Greymouth has been lucky in the London art union prizes, and over a dozen specimens of the best modern masters are exhibited.
