The Town Board buildings are at the present moment being painted and one : or two minor structure alterations have been carried out and undoubtedly these public buildings now look much brighter than before. WAVERLEY SCHOOL . Before Mr. Marks, the late assistant 1 master of the Waverley School, departed to take up hi* new position at Umuniuri, the buys of the higher standards of the school, called on him to make a presentation in appreciation of his services to them as coach of the 1 football team. As yet, no teacher has • arrived to replace Air. Marks, but it ! is understood that an appointment will - be made for October J. The school reopened ou Monday with an attendance of 216 pupils. This is the highest attendance of the year. “LUCKY WEEK’’ Last week could rightly be described as Waverley’s lucky week. Firstly, a local lady was the fortunate holder of a ticket which rewarded her with a * £IUU prize in the last art union, and then at the combined hunt meeting held at New Plymouth, local horses had their full share of successes. Air. Brewer’s horse Kuafonn paid a sensa- : tional dividend for second place, Airs. B. Downes’ Gold Alission also winning Two horses bred by Air. W. H. Wat-’ kins, Flower Bag and Cardhu, finished first and second respectively in their race, and Air. D. R. Jackson Is The Ark gained a third place. To complete the week of local successes, it is confidently anticipated that the local Hunt Club will benefit considerably from the meeting held at New Plymouth.
