CARTERTON. Mr W. Bailey, of Wellington, has accepted tho position as judge of pigeons at tho South Wairarapa Poultry Association's show here next July.' A very successful benefit concert was given here last night (Thursday) in aid of Mr W. Fisher, who has been an invalid for tho past three years. The Masterton Pipe Band assisted, and played a programme down High Street prior to tho commencement of the entertainment. It is expected that the nett proceeds of the concert together with subscriptions, will realise about £IOO. Thero has been a very hearty response to a very deserving cause. The Carterton Fire Brigade Ins accepted a tender for tho alteration of tho porch at the social hall, new stairs, and concreting tho alleyway.
