TOKOMARU NOTES.

(From our own Correspondent.) On Saturday last a football match was played liere, shannon v. Tokomaru. The game was very exeltmg throughout and resulted in a win for Tokomaru iby ten points to eiglh. BiOth teams showed good form and the large number of spectators had the pleasure qf witnessing several good passing rushes. Mr Sands controlled the game. The local flaxmill, which has been closed down for repairs for a short time, re-opened on Monday. Mr G. Bacton, who has been an inmate of the Palmerston North public Hospital for some time, returned to his home on Tuesday.

On Friday, April 24th, a dance is to he held here in aid of the Football Club and on May 22nd U is intended to hold a ball.

( On Saturday last Messrs Hyde and ) WilkinsPh re-opened their picture J show which has been closed down ( during the alterations t-o the Hall. I Miss Olive Wilton spent the week ■ end here and -returned again to Hast- ! ings on Tuesday. I By all appearance there is every ! indication of great prosperity in i i'okomaru—not only have there been a large number of motor cars purchased in the last six months, but a number of properties have changed hands. One valuable property owned by Mr J. Liggins has been disposed of to Mrs W. H. Miles for £BO per acre, which has been handed over to the Sports Committee in exchange for the past sports ground. This exchange has greatly improved the value of Mrs Miles’ present property, which it adjoins.
