To Araron residents have hit upon a new idea, and a good olio, for a seaside settlement. They liavo formed a Launch Club, and by tlio aid ot subscriptions, and tlio proceeds ot a dance, liavo been able to placo an order with an Auckland firm tor no horso-powor oil launch, suitable for this roadstead. It is to bo used for fishing excursions, etc., and to run one to meet steamers, otic.,. in cases of emergency or when required, ami will be a useful addition to the district. A shell to keep it in is being built by working bees.
