TUAPEKA MOUTH CONCERT.

Concert. On Friday, 14th July, a concert was held in the Coronation Hall, in aid of tho Hall funds (writes our correspondent). We wore, favoured with a fino moonlight night, which, no doubt, encouraged many to brave tho cold and come along. Our Greenfield friendturned out in full forco to assist us, and, thanks to their efforts, tho concert went off successfully. The door takings amounted to about £ll 10s, and this amount, with the subscriptions yot to 001110 in, will pay off the debt on the hall. The concert programme consisted of the following items: Songs, Mrs Pitt, Miss McKen'ie, Master Nehoff, and Messrs Jas. Smith, McGown, Lucas, Hardy, Pitt, Gcddcs, Fairburn, and Blair ; duet, Mrs G. E. Cross and Mr Fairburn ; recitations, • Miss Thomson and Mr Keonan. Tho accompaniments were played by Misses Smith, Allen and Anderson. After supper had been partaken of dancing commenced and was kopt going till an early hour, the music being supplied by Messrs Reynolds, Nehoff, and Edwards. Removals from the District.
