KAUKAPAKAPA.

The erection of a telephone wire between Wainui and Kaukapakapa, which the Government refused to proceed with a few weeks ago as being an unpayable proposal, has now been provided by the enterprise of the settlers. The necessary posts were given by Mr F. Dye, and the work undertaken by the settlers themselves, and the result will be a great benefit to the district.

At a recent euchre party Mr Harry Mumford received a silver mounted umbrella from the footballers of* Kaukapakapa to mark the occasion of his marriage. Mr Koller (secretary) made the presentation. The latter also received a case of pipes from the club members, Mr.F. Dye making the presentation. On behalf of local well-wishers the latter also presented to Mr and Mrs Mumford a handsome dinner set. Bright and appropriate speeches to the occasion were made, which were responded .to in an appreciative manner. There was a large -attendance for the dance which followed, and a most enjoyable time was spent.
