WAITARA.

(From : Our Own Correspondent.) Wai,tara, July 1. The.ringing of the fire bell on Sunday night, together with the blowing pf the freezing works whistle, caused a goodly number of people to turn out to see where the Are wag, and quite a number rati up town to ,the fire brigade station, but when they heard that it was the long-expected signing of tiic Peace Treaty most of the people wen,t quietly home. We have yet to hear the peace celebrations are to take place. The Clifton football team had rather a disappointment in no.t getting more men into the representative team to meet Wellington to-morrow. Only Kupe and ,J. Manu have been selected, with V. Tate, S. ID. George, Stewar,t, and Fuller as emergencies.

■ Th,e cutting down of the train service has made it impossible to get to the match'at Hawera to-morrow except by car, as one could not get back uatil next day. Children going to New Plymouth and High.Schools will also find Wjvery diflioult to attend these schools, AS the trtjin service does not suit at all. Mr. R. (Kenrick has started a, bus between Waiters, and New Plymouth, and this should help considerably in getting to. a^from^New-Plymouth; & trill be very, inconvenient to get anywhere else, but I_suppps9;the only thing jto do under the circumstances to grin and bear it V!
