HAWERA.
This day.
The railway between New Plymouth and Hawera was opened today. The first train from town took about 200 passengers and picked up a number at the various stations, and several came from VPaifcara-and-Tikorangi. The weather was all that could be wished for, the air being clear and tranquil and the temperature genial. No attempt at any demonstration has been thought of here, and on the first train arriving there was not even a cheer. The people here seemed more interested at the receipt of the news that the Government had determined' to take action against Te Whiti than at the more peaceful victory achieved by penetration through many miles of bush.
Several new buildings of considerable size are in the course of erection here, and the road from the railway station to Prosser's hotel has been opened. The new hotel near the railway station seemed to be doing good business. By the second train fully three hundred persons arrived.
