It will be good to see how Earotonga can best take part in the Fair which is to be held for all the islands in July or August next. The school at Nikao will, we hope, be opened at the end of the year. Children from all the islands will then be taught English, so that they may become teachers for others in their turn. The accounts for the year will be laid before you in full, as usual. For the Government, namely,— Make a, Ariki. Pα, Ariki. Kaeika, Ariki. Kainuku, Ariki.
