GISBORNE.

Dear Bee, Feb. 8. Such horrid weather prevailed for the races this week. On the first day there was a very small attendance, but on the second day, which was much finer, the attendance was more satisfactory; the races were very good, but of course people dressed in keeping with the weather, mostly dark dresses and coats being worn. Next week the Poverty Bay Turf Club hold their summer meeting, so we will hope for real summer weather. Last week Aliss S. Coleman had A SMALL “ AFTERNOON.” Numerous games were played, interspersed with songs and delicious afternoon tea was partaken of. Those present were Airs. T. Coleman, Aliss Coleman, Aliss Murray, Aliss Pyke, Aliss Agnew-Browne, Aliss S. Hamilton, Aliss 11. Agnew-Browne, Aliss W. Waehsmann and Aliss M. Waehsmann. Such a theatrical treat we are expecting in a little while. Next week Air. J. C. Williamson's Comedy Company play here for three nights, and later on we are looking forward to seeing “ The Cingalee, ” “ The Orchid ” and others. The Turanga C hurch Fete, which is to be held at the end of this month, promises to be a great success. This function is a yearly one, and is always held in the country, in the Waerenga-a-hika College grounds. Sports of all kinds are indulged in. and tea is served, on long tables under the trees, and the various stalls arranged under the shady trees, make a pretty pietuie. ELSA.
