EGMO'NT VILLAGE. j The event in which most local interest was centred during the past Week .was the concert in aid of the }langorei Rifle Club, held in the hall ,on Thursday. 1 The first part of the programme took the form of a nigger minstrel entertainment, supplied by the Kaimiro minstrel troupe. The items were of a', high quality throughout, the solos and choruses being excellently rendered, while numerous jokes, including several tyeal "hits," kept the audience in a simnier of laughter. The accompaniments were supplied by Mrs. E. Copperbh (piano) and Mr. J. Gopperth (violin). The second , part was opened by a selection by Mr. Geo. Marsh's orchestra, which also supplied a second piece later. Songs were contributed by Mrs. N. George,' Miss B. Hill, Messrs Shicker and Doughty. The singing of "God Save the King" brought a very pleasant concert to a close. There was a large and appreciative audience, our Kaimiro friends in particular .coming in for hearty rounds Of applause. After the concert the flooiv was cleared for dancing., which was indulged in until the early hours of the morning, Mr. Geo. Marsh's orchestra supplying the music. About midnight an excellent supper was handed round and was much enjoyed by all.i, ,Mf.. H. Marsh performed the. duties M M.C. and all the arrangements, thanks to the care of a strong committee, were excellent. I understand that -the Rifle Club will benefit to some considerable extent financially. On Friday evening a team of twelve Village crib players journeyed to Inglewood to meet the Druid 9 there. The former-returned'victorious by it games to 28, and speak in high terms of Inglewood's'hospitality. The club is determined not to be behindhand in the latter respect when the return match is played. ' ■I understand that Messrs E. and 0. Einsella, who have for some time past taken a prominent part in the social life of our Village, are leaving shortly icr Auckland. The weather has been extremely cold lately and constant showers have made the roads, especially those which are not metalled, in a very bad condition. The ' mill lias been affected by the wet, as enough logs are not available to keep it going, continuously and it has not been working on one or two days this week.
