INGLEWOOD.

(From Our Own Corresponednt.) The Town Hall here was filled to overflowing almost, with the audience gathered to witness the crowning ceremony which was the finale of the Country Fair, got up by members of the Anglican Church in this district. The Queen elect, Miss Sinclair, of Egmont Village, attended by the other candidates—Miss Lena Cappir, of Kaimata, and Miss Alice Heatly, of Ratapiko —made a very pleasing spectacle on the stage, where the crowning ceremony was performed, Mr. J. Adams acting as official crowner. There was- also, on the stage, a large retinue in fancy costume. Each of the lady candidates was presented with a handsome 'gold bangle. After wellearned votes of thanks to the ladies, Mesdames Evans and - Burn ip and Miss Riordan, for their successful work in training the characters and making preparations generally had been carried, as well as a special vote to Mr. Olson, of Egmont Village as the initiator of the Fair, to whom a special presentation of a handsomely bound prayer book was made, the company present dissolved to re-assemble for dancing and card playing, their final dispersal not taking place till the small hours of Friday morning. Music was provided by Miss Curd’s orchestra.

This district is- always credited with its output of butter and cheese, in either quantity or quality, but it is only grudgingly admitted to be able to produce fat stock of high quality. Such a display, as can now be seen in a local shop, furnishes a crushing negative to any aspersion of that kind, and reflects credit on the owner of the land upon which the animals were fattened. The many friends in this district of Mr. C. James, until recently one of the Inglewood staff of the Farmers’ Co-op. Society, will be interested to know that he has become the local agent for the International Harvesting Co., and, consequently, does not intend to leave this neighborhood where he has, during his connection with “The Farmers”, become so well-known. It goes without saying they will wifffi him good luck in his new line.
