The Te Aroha junior eleven visited Paqroa on Thursday afternoon to play the return cricket match with the junior eleven of that district. We were unable to get the individual scores* but we learn that Te Aroha proved themselves the better side,,making 44 runs to Paeroa’s 32. Bob Sutton made top score for the visitors, who spent a most enjoyable day in Pacroa. Among the visitors to Te. Aroha at the present time there k a lady who is enthusiastically interested in, and in deed, officially represents the wellknown organisation, the N.Z..

A visit to the Domain shows that a considerable amount of work has been got through lately by the co-operative labourers employed there under the supervision of Mr Steadman. In the first place it is noticeable that the No 2 reservoir is on the eve of completion. It will hold 20,000 gallons: the capacity of the No. 1 reservoir it. will be remembered being only 6,000 gallons. From No. 1 (average temperature 150 deg) an overflow pipe is to connect with No. 2, and the overflow from No. 2 will be led into the hot swimming bath now in process of excavation. It would be as well to mention the dimensions of the swimming bath. Plans have not yet been received from the capital, but the dimension of the bath in question, we understand from Mr Steadman, will be 40ft by 20ft We learn from the Board ■ that the plans will be forwarded for their approval in a few days. The plumbers are in possession of the new bath-house and are making rapid headway with the bath fittings. It is proposed to do away with the bridge by the fountain and. substitute eighteen - inch pipes. This would be, in our opinion, a decided improvement. B& wise in time '. ‘Tis good advice. Man Gets bis chance but seldom twice t And therefore dp not be cajoled Into neglect of cough or cold ! For both there is no nostrum truer Than that of Woods’ Great Peppermint Cure.
