The Otaki race meeting takes place to-morrow and Friday. There is evenprospect of line weather, and though the course will be heavy, the meeting should be a splendid oue. as the acceptauces are very good. Already the town is full of visitors. As excellent traiu arrangements have been made, the attendance should be a record. Seven Natives were travelling ir motor ear from Opunake to Otakeho on Tuesday. When opposite the pa , Geo the car, through some unexplained cause, capsized, but landed again on its wheels. "A Native named Waka v.. killed, and two others—a man and a woman—were injured and taken to ih-. hospital. A\ e would remind readers of ths if social to bo held to-night at Brights’ 1 Theatre in aid of the local band fund*. If Items of a varied nature will be given tf and dancing also indulged in. By ro . j|| quest,JHr G. Austin Blaukio, the noted M Wellington tenor, will sing at 1 I social, and Miss Hvelyue Jones has :ibjp§f been prc\ailed upon to assist. Thc.-sS items in themselves should prove 3 W great draw, and ;t full house is evil peeled. HfL A lady resident of Otaki forward* 1 the following paragraph for insertion: if —"One of the racehorses reluming w -i tom exercise oil Monday was ci-idenUv iilf suffering great- pain in its head--whether from blows or not oue not say—-and could not life up its him: f§| nor had it control over its ears; ttoH were just flopping, and its eyes trepl -o suffering and patient.
