THE HUTT ROAD SLIP. Although the progress l of clearing the bi? land slide on the Hutt Boad, near Nl'ahauranga, is somewhat slow, the work is being steadily carried on by a fairly large gang.

Current expectation is that some months must elapse before the road is restored to its normal condition. FAKEWELL DANCE. At St. Augustine's Hall, Petone, Inst night, Miss M'Arthur tendered a faifwell dance' to Mesdames M'Gee and M'Ghie, who -shortly leave the district for Pnlmerston. About fifty guests were presont. and a very successful function closed shortly after midnight. The departing guests' were each presented with tokens of esteem. THE PARK .AFFAIRS. Tho initial meeting of the newly-elected nnrmbers of tho Hutt Park Committee will bo held next Monday night. After the business of appointing a chairman and ■secretary has been got through, it is likely that tho question of leasing tho park to tlio Hiilt Valley Trotting Club will bo discussed.
