WANQANUI

(From ~6ur own correspondent.)" September 20. The Goose ' pantomime was produced at Wanganui on Tuesday ~and Wednesday nights, and on Wednesday afternoon to crowded houses. Motoring is on the increase in Wanganui district. There are now registered with the Borough Council 42 motor cars and 7 motor cycles. The ratepayers of Wanganui are to be asked to raise an extra loan of £5000, in addition to the £40,000 already authorised for the construction of an electric tramway. The Wanganui football team did not bring the Ranfurly Shield home with them from Auckland. All the members played excellently, including T. Suiter, one of the rrembers of St. Mary's Catholic Club, who did a lot of creditable work on the wing. While.- driving down the Avenue last Saturday Mrs. D. Murphy and Mr. Jno. Murphy, two of our respected parishioners, were thrown out of their trap, but luckily no serious injuries were sustained by the occupants. Mr. F. D. Gafianey, the secretary of St. Mary's Catholic Club, having now recovered from his hurt on the football field, has been enabled to commence his duties as lieutenant in the Irish Rifles. All members of the club congratulate Lieutenant Gaff an ey on his new position in this popular corps.
