The entertainment given in the Town Hall on Thursdaj 7 last by the Good Templars passed off satisfactorily, though but poorty attended. The programme consisted of readings, recitations, and singing, all fairly rendered. A meeting is called for Monday, the 12th instant, in the Town Hall, by the Chairman of the County Council, for the purpose of electing five members for the management of the Waverley recreationground, the terra of office of the present committee expiring on that date. The Town Board have received the plans of the levels of the footpaths through the main street, so I suppose the tenders will be shortly called for formation, &c. The cricket match Married v. Single, which was to have been played on Saturday, had to be again postponed owing to the rough weather, Saturday next being the day fixed. I see our Patea friends are agitating for the purpose of getting Government ■to open up the bush country, and wish them every success in their endeavors. It is a very desirable thing that this should be done as soon as possible, while money is plentiful, as the land is far more likely to fetch good prices when such is the case. WAIROA HIGHWAY BOARD.
