WAIMAIRI SOCIAL. The usual fortnightly social of the Waimairi School Committee was held last Saturday. The Monte Carlo waltz was won by Mr Bryant and Miss Bryant. Other prizes were won by Mesdames Roberts, Kelly, Knight and Mr Syme. Mr C. Claridge was M.G. and Mr N. Johnston played the extra. A HAREWOOD PARK. At Wednesday night’s meeting of the Waimairi Council, Mr C. E. Moore, member for the Harewood Riding, was asked to contribute one-third towards the grant towards the Papanui Domain. Mr Moore said he could not see his way to do this. The Harewood Riding did not reach nearer the Domain than Bishop’s Road, and in addition, he had been warned that he would be called on to get a grant for a Harewood Park. It appears that following a letter that was published in the “Papanui Paragraphs” the matter of a park for 'Harewood was discussed at a public meeting, but nothing further has been done.
