It Is quite possible that next summer Tuakaa will possess a Bowling Club, and an excellent bowling green. Steps are taken with this object m view r . On Wednesday last the Tuakau Musical and Dramatic Society gave a highly successful concert to an excellent house. The performance throughout showed a decided improvement as the result of constantpractice, and both vocal and instrumental items were distinctly in advance of previous efforts, there being more finish and effect with a consequent diminishing of amateurism. The glees and orchestral numbers were most enjoyaable, and the flute solo b> Mr Friedlander, songs by Miss Leaman, and Mr Bear, duet by Misses Lewis and Ewing, and violin solo by Mr Kleinian, were all enthusiastically received. Mr Alan McElwain, the inimitable, added -the sauce of gaiety and brightness to completely round off a most enjoyable concert. , L
