HAWERA.

Dear Bee, January 5. We have at last come to the end of the holidays, and Christmas is just as far off as ever it was. On the whole the weather was good, but Christmas Eve was quite spoilt by downpours of rain, which must have made a considerable difference to trade as very few people ventured out. Quite a number of Ilawera people went holiday-making. Some up the Wanganui river, others to the New Plymouth races, and Opunake raees, but most of the holiday makers have returned again, and Hawera is once more at work. On New Year's Day the Hawera Caledonian sports were held as usual. In the evening the annual Caledonian concert was held in the Opera House and as usual there was a packed house. Amongst those present at the sports and concert I noticed: Misses Caplen(2), Mrs Sloau, Mrs Nolan. Misses Nolan (2), Miss White, Misses Baird (3)> Miss Carey, Mrs and Miss Brett, Miss Douglas. Miss Queenie Glenn. Miss Hunter. Miss Flynn, Mrs Wilson, Mrs D. E. Fantham. Mrs F. Fantham, Miss E. Penn (New Plymouth >. Mr and Mrs Wallaee. Dr. Westenra, Miss Buchanan, Mr Swinburne, Miss Whittaker. Messrs Trevethiek. Chalmers. Douglas, Glenn, Hunter, Whittaker, Suisted, etc.
