INGLEWOOD.

(From Our Own' Correspondent.}

The death of Mr. W. Collingwood will be sincerely regretted by a large circle of friends in many’ parts of Targnaiii, more especiajly in the Inglewood di«trict, where he had latterly fived. One of the band of Lincolnshire people who migrated to Taranaki on the representations of tile late Mr. Burton, Mr. Collingwood reached New Plymouth in the ship Halcyon in 1875, and had stayed in Taranaki ever since. A sterling good settler and a kindly, helpful’neighbor, he made friends wherever he settled, and he will ibo much missed from amongst us. He- leaves a widow (Mr.. M. A. Collingwood, of Inglewood), and, by a former marriage, four daughters—Mesdames J. Dobson (Kaimata), R. Dobson (Waitoriki), J. Bisby (Kapuni), and A. Bevego (Aramoho); two sons (George (Eltharn), and John (Kaimata), besides numerous grand-chil-dren and some great grand-children.

with whom sincere sympathy in their bereavement is felt. At a meeting of members of the Inglewood Rifle Club, held on Thursday evening, it was decided to open the local range on. Thursday next, 28th inst., weather permitting, with a triangular match, the sides to be made tip of members of the club, territorial members, and lovers of the rifle not now belonging to the elub. The ranges to be fired will be 200 and 300 yards', the teams to number not less than seven. The- time for assembling is 1 p.m. sharp. This move should arouse interest in the- club and encourage members in their efforts for its advancement. ’
