OTOROHANGA.

Own Correspondent. Mr and Mrs J. H. D. Burnand gave a very successful garden parly and bazaar at their pretty residence on Saturday on behalf of the Anglican Church, Oturohanga. Unfortunately the early part of the afternoon was wet which prevented a great number of people from attending, but the weather cleared alter, and there was quite a gathering. Mrs Burnand dressed in a beautiful amber silk with black net overdress, received her guests on the well kept lawn. A feature of the afternoon was a Maypole dance by twelve children in white, with coloured sashes. Mrs Bumand's neice was kept busy arranging guessing competitions for art work,, and Miss Colhoun did good business at the work stall. Afternoon tea was handed round by wlliing helpers and Lloyd's band played at intervals. About £l<i was taken alto gether. which with expenses deducted will leave about £l3 to go towards the Anglican Church. On Saturday, December 2nd, Mr J. H. D. Burnand was the recipient of a birthday presentation from the mill employees. Mr Burns, before calling upon Mr Cowley to make the presentation, said the hands wished to take the opportunity to wish.Mr Burnand many happy returns of the day, and as this would probably be <he last birthday before the mill closed down their feelings were all the greater as they all had many happy feelings associated with the "mill. The relations, between Mr Burnand and the mill hands had always been of the most friendly nature. Mr Cowley, in a few wellchosen words, then, on behalf of the hands presented Mr Burnand with a pair of gold sleeve links suitably inscribed. In reply. Mr Burnand thanked them for their kind gift and trusted that their relations would always be harmonious and when the mill removed to Ongarue he hoped thev would not sever connections.
