NIREAHA.

(From Our Own Correspondent.) During the last week some severe frost 3 have been experienced, which have made the grass less plentiful. The supply of milk at the Nireaha Dairy Company has dropped to 350 gallons per day and next week the factory will run every second day. The Tararua Rifle Club "ceased fire" for the season, last week, with a competition at 500 and 600 yards for a trophy presented by Mr H. E. Greathead, which was won by .Rifleman O. A Olsen, with a score of 61. A consolation trophy, presented by Mr R. Thomasen, was won by Captain Bell. The "shoot off" for an attendance trophy, presented by Mr Fisher, between Capain Bell and Riflemen Thomasen and Petersen, each having attended every shooting day during the season was won by Captain Bell. Mr and Mrs Cutler, who intend leaving Kakariki soon, were tendered a farewell social in the Kakariki Schoolhouse last Thursday. Mr Joseph Dawson presided. During the evening Mr Cutler was presented with a travelling bag, and Mrs Cutler with a handsome rug. The chairman, in making the presentations, referred in high terms to the good qualities of the departing guests, and pointed out the loss the district would sustain. Mr Cutler, on behalf of Mrs Cutler and himself, replied in an appropriate speech. Altogether the gathering was most successful, and reflects the greatest credit on all who lent a helping hand. Never since the school was erected i has s.ich a large meeting been held here, whk-h proved in a measure how popular Mr and Mrs Cutler were with the people of the neighbourhood. A meeting of the Nireaha Branch of the Farmers' Union will be held on ' Monday, 27th inst.
