The return football match, Patea v, Hawera, played at Hawera on Saturday, resulted in a draw. A surf boat for Opunaki is ordered by Government to be built; goods to be landed at 6s a ton. A girl aged 14 has overlain her baby in bed and suffocated it. This New Plymouth mother appears to be very much an infant herself. Has nobody a whip for the other party who isn’t mentioned ? Celebration Committees at Hawera and New Plymouth are pulling against each other. The N. P. people invite the Hawera people to go over there and kick their heels at a ball, by way of celebrating the opening of the Hawera extension. The Hawera people say: Nay, we want you N. P. people to come here and be banquetted and balled.
