REEFTON NOTES.

(Our Own Correspondent). There was a large attendance at the St. Stephen’s garden party on Wednesday afternoon and evening, the weather being all that could be desired. The Inangahua Silver Band was in attendance, and the grounds were gaily decorated with flags and lanterns, which gave a very pretty effect, particularly in the moonlight. Good business was done by the stall-holders, and the side shows also were well patronised. An excellent concert programme was rendered, the items being as follows:— “Wedding in Fairyland,” “Araby,” and “Red Riding Hood,” by the children, in which Alisses Otana Bierwirth, Watson and Jean Chamberlain gave a good rendering; “Keys of Heaven,” by Alisses Watson and Mcllendry; “The Kentucky Way of Saying Good-bye,” by the boys; pianoforte duet by Aliss and M aster White. Songs were also given by Messrs R. Wallace and L. Harrie, and two recitations by Air EasThe following wire has been received from the Hon. R. F.
