INGLEWOOD.

(From Our Own Correspondent.) August 5.

Consequent on a meeting' held by Old Girls of the New Plymouth High School ami friends in the Inglewood Parish Hall, July 16, it was decided that the best slops that they could take towards the gathering of funds to ensure the establishment of a suitable boardinghouse in New Plymouth for girls, frctai rural districts, who wished to attend the school, would, so far as Inglewood is concerned, be to hold a street mart sale on Saturday, August 13. The date was accordingly fixed, and, to soothe the apprehensions of any who doubted the kindness of weather controllers, it was announced that Mr. W. Eager had kindly given the use of his spare shop premises in the Coffee Palaeo buildings to ensure a weather-proof retreat at any rate. Arrangements were made for two stalls, one where vegetables, flowers, seedling planta and miscellaneous articles will be offered, and the other where marmalade, lemon cheese, cakes and other small goods, such as the young ladies of Inglewood are so well renowned for producing, will be permitted to bo purchased by as many of the pressing anxious enquirers as can he supplied, but they will need to come early or they may miss this best of opportunities.

The Tarata settlers' annual ball was the event at Tarata Hall on Friday, July 29. To say that the function was a success would be superfluous; the weather and all circumstances combined to ensure this desirable result. Messrs J. Burr and S. George filled the offices of M.C.’s, and Messrs Feek’s Waitara orchestra supplied the music. The supper, supplied by the ladies, was such as to invigorate the dancers and remind the old folk, whdse dancing days are o’er, of the best, of their experiences. To the ladies, Mesdames Crowe, King, George. Ludemann and Drummond, with the Misses Lambert. Paterson and Waite, a very great deal of the credit for the night’s success is due. In connection with the recent appointment of Mr. T. McElroy to the managership of the Stratford Dairy Company, it is interesting to note, while congratulating him on his appointment to so important a position, that Mr. McElroy was selected in 190’7 out of all the applicants for the position of manager of the newly formed Tariki Dairy Co., which position he has hold to date with credit to himself and advantage, it may be taken for granted, to the company. During that time the company has won quite a number of prizes for its cheese exhibits at various shows, pre-eminent amongst them being the Ist prize and championship at the Islington, London, Show in 1913. in a competition which included the Dominions of the l Empire. Tariki (non-existent in 1875) versus the rest of New Zealand, Australia and Canada came on top, nor can anyone who has sampled Tariki cheese wonder tlyit it stood high. The grading marks, too, at Moturoa. season after season, speak loudly in praise of the manager of the factory and the support of the dairymen supplying the same, on which so largely success depends.
