WAITARA.
(From Our Own Correspondent:) Waitara, Feb. 15. One who was not acquainted with Waitara would have thought from its appearance on Friday that the inhabitants were mostly Maoris, Small tar.gis were in progress almost anywhere one looked. That was in the morning. In tho afternoon the cup that cheers and oft inebriates had dispelled most of the gloom that hung around in the morning, and hakas were more the order of the day. It was Maori pay day. Mr. G. R. Croll, superintending engineer for Messrs Borthwick and Sons, arrived here on Tuesday evening on a visit of inspection. It is a long time since Mr. Crol! was here. The meeting which was to have been hold on Friday night to receive the canimittee's report on the co-operative bakery business, lapsed, there being only the chairman and another present. Owing to the Hawera races having been postponed until Friday, the band concert, which was to have been held in Mrs. M, Jones' grounds on that date was postponed to a date to be notified later.
