RANGITATA STATION SCHOOL.

The annual treat in connection with this school was held on Wednesday, December 30th, and afforded a capital day’s enjoyment for both the children, and the parents. During the afternoonWi races were indulged in by the children/ and a splendid assortment of toys were v distributed to the winners, the distribution being so worked that each child received a toy of some sort. After the races were concluded young and old - joined together in games, cricket, , rounders, and tv,ms-and-threes being well patronised. At 5 o’clock all sat down to a table well stocked with good things, to j which ample justice was done—out-door games are a good tonic for the youthful ’ appetite. After tea a, short concert was I given by the school children, at the con- ; elusion of which the Rev. Mr Todd gave 1 a capital address, complimenting the , children on their performance, and giving them some sound advice concerning their duties during the coming year. After 1 cheers had been given for the schoolmaster, and for those who had contributed to the treat, the floor was cleared for 1 dancing, and the hours slipped merrily 1 past till 1 o’clock a.m., when “Auld ' Lang Syne ” was sung,, and all dispersed [ to their homes well pleased with the • day’s amusement.
