KOod things which liad been obtained tiom Mr Smith's bakery, Inglewood. Some surprise was evinced that suca a large affair could be brought off on | Duiham road, but the committe eviidently decided not to do the tiling bv ! halves and all worked together with "a will, with giatifving lesults. To I sliow the large scope of the district Horn which visitors came, in addition . to the place* named above. \\ oriley ] i<-ad, Kaiuiata, f'ariki, Alidliirst, Dud | ley road, RaUp ko, Lincoln load, Kgniont road, Lepper road and Voi k ! road were represented. Tile affair ; terminated al 3.30 a.m., and cheer* j were given for Mr liuckt.iougln foi | his k.ndness m giving the use of tile I building. 011 Sunday last a motor car deposited two fully-equipped angiers el.'Ss to the M..keta\va factory, and i. wa- evid iu fiom the direction tiny | io..k they were going to try for fame I bv capmr.ng the taniwlia of the P.jkau. 1 have not lieaid as ; c) wh.u j success they met \vi Lh. ljy-the-bye. | tin: number of p-ople who can spin j>";:ins aiKiit that eel would surprise stiangers. The latest is that Constable Duddy has leceived instrutti' iis to try and dynamite it on account of tile damage it is supposed , obe doing to trout. The meeting in Inglewood on Satin ti..y ancnt the proposal of the Jloa I'armers' Union to abolish the delivery carts seems to be providing some fuel ! for the "talket-lalkee" milk-upplk*r» ; wlii'e wa ting their turns, and there is great diversity of opinion a» 10 what io the right thing to do. i At the meeting of the Durham road i school committee Miss M. Papps. at present at the West End School, New I Plymouth, was selected to fijl the va- | cancy caused by Miss Alexander's re- | signation. It is probable a teinpor- | aiy teacher will be appointed until ' M:ss Papps can take permanent ' charge. A c rcular was r-'ceived from j tlr: Aramoho school committee asking I support in the agitation against too j frequent ehanging of school books, ■ and tiie local committee passed a re--1 solution of sympathy in tile movei ment, expre sng the opin : un that it j is time something were done re the 1 matter. It was decided to ask the Board's pn mis-ion to make the platform in the school moveable, as tile fixed affair was a great hindrance when amu-einents were held in the school. Now that the p:ano is comj pletely pad for, funds derived from j amusements are to be devoted to other j benefits of the children. I notice that the trees planted last Arbor Day aie starting to go ahead very nicely, and in a few years the >urroundings ol the school will appivi more attrac tive.

A very interesting event took planlast Tuesday when our much respected ne'ghber, Mr C. Gobel, of the Norfolk load, was united bv matnmnnial bends to Mr C. KdmontK. Tho affair, which was a quiet one. wa-i held at the residence of the biide's p r.'nts only the immed : ate friends of the contracting parties being present. The happy couple, who have the hearty congratulations ol the whole neighborhood, left for a shoit honeymoon trip after the -eremcny. Although three weeks or more have elrp'cd' since arrangements were made re po-tal f«cilit ; es at the Makct.iwa factory, and, also, though all that can be done at t'lis end ha- been d' He. it seems as if red tapeism ai the Wellington erd will delay as long a- pos-ible the final fixing up of the matter. It see m s a great pitv that ev-.-'n in small quest : n n s like this, but bv which a great benefit can be prnv dec! by many, such a lot of time must be wasted in correspondence with headquarters.
