Entries for the Mangatainoka hports this year have exceeded the mo3t sanguine expectations, and in every single event are ahead of those of last year. The aggregate for the various open contents showing, at time of writing, an increase of ninety-five over those received for the gathering of 1909. In consequence of the splendid success that has attended their efforts the committee have decided to extend the time for receiving nominations till Wednesday, the 27th. at 8 p.m. The Secretary of the Society, Mr J. A. Walsh, desires to acknowledge the following donations:—Mr S. Bolton £2. l'r. Dawson 10s, and Mr H. M. B. Marshall £1 Is.

At a meeting of the Borough Coun cil held last evening, the question of extending the water and drainage system to the boundary of the new school was again discussed. The position at present is this: The Education Board and property owners interested will not contribute onMhird of the cost of the work as asked by the Council, so matters are practically at a deadlock. One solution of the difficulty, from an economical point of view, is to connect through Mr Tosswill's property, and a deputation is to interview that gentleman on Saturday afternoon in regard to the matter. Another game was played yesterday afternoon on the local bowling green for the President's trophy, between Mr White-Scott, 12 points, and Mr J. A. Walsh, 4 poims, and resulted in a win for the latter, the final scores being 32—22. A meeting of the Pahiatua Chamber of Commerce will be held on Friday evening next.
