THE Kawhia Settler. FRIDAY, MARCH. 5,1909.

The returned vieit rs by the s.s. Rimu from the Raglan-Kawhia Agricultural Sb w held at Raglan on Friday (today) as well as many people who did not go, bi t might have gone, express considerable astonishment that the excur.on was not better advertised bore, bub by ILe -bow management and the Northern S.S. Co I<- is safe to say that a big majority of the Kawhia prop’o knew nothing of the date when this =b.,w was to bo held ; no notificai: ri f La event appeared in this p ip-. , and no circulars or p isters were ! r.i.u:.'. Ito give notice either of the

(.i'e. of any arrangements made for ar. j g visit >rs from hero. As to ths Litle* on this occasion, the notification that ..ppMired in the Chronicle and the no tic j received by the L>cal agent of S.S. C). was so the cIL ct th.it tbs steamer would leave and r turn on Tb'ir-iday. and it was not un-.il the day prior to sailing that this no-.ice was al ered. Given fine weather, a ; uitablo steamer t.nd a loos’, adverti -ement, the excursionists of to-day would ba tbo trickle of a stream of visitor •; lo this annual festival that we believe would prove to bn r*n ever widen-

g irertin f r many yews to come.
