WAITARA.

(From Our Own Correspondent.) Waitara, Feb. 22. The death of Mrs. C. Isaacs, a wellknown figure in Waitara, occurred yesterday, after an ihness lasting since the influenza epidemic. She leaves a husband and two children. The yisiting Maoris, who have been holding a tangi at Manukorihi Pah over the victims of the influenza epidemic for the past week, have nearly all left, a batch being accompanied to the station yesterday morning by the Maori drum and fife baud.

The weather for the past few days has been very conducive to bathing, and the school baths and beach have been well patronised. The School Committee is having a swimming carnival at the bathl on the occasion of the official opening, and a social is to be held in the evening. Mr. Masters (chairman) and some other members of the Education Board have been invited to attend. A large attendance is expected. This is to be hoped for, as more money is required to finish the baths properly and provide up-to-date dressing sheds and seats.

The head centre of the Royal Lifesaving Society does not favor March 87 as the date for the Tabor Shield competition, but suggests the '2oth instead. This will be a morning tide, and although on the 27th the tide was rather late the tide on the 20th is too early, and the competition will have to be got off before lunch time, which will not allow the business people to get to the beach, ai they do not shut the shops until twelve o'clock. It is rather hard to get a suitable day when the choice is restricted to Thursdays. A public meeting of those interested in the welfare of the town is to be held, and all citizens interested are invited to at! end,

Whether the band will be able to play :it the swimming carnival depends upon the band's ability to get a conductor in place of Mr. H. E. Cudby, who is unable to attend. If this can be done the band is quite willing to play. The sale of work on Thursday in aid of the Waitara Methodist Church funds was \ cry successful, the takings being a little over £SO. A nail-driving competition, which consisted of three tests, was won by Mrs. Kendriek. The goods on hand at nine o'clock were disposed of.
