MOTUKARAKA.
[from: our own correspondent]. Very little news up this way at present. Our Band of Hope is still flourishing. Last Friday we had a very enjoyable meeting. Recitations were given by Misses Minnie Stephens, Priscilla Stephens, Ada Dyer and Masters W. Finnigan, G. Harding, James Harding, j. Dyer, Bay Beasley, Fred Kelsey, and Harry Kelsey; a reading by Mr Henry Kelsey; duet by Miss Beryl Beasley and Master Maxwell Beasley, also an address on the “ Elements of loss in connection with the Drink Traffic,” by Mr Meiklejohn. The contractor (Mr Olive) is hard at work on the foundations at the School house, which bad become very unsafe on account of the land-slips at the rear of the building. Some of our settlers are at present on the Taheke gumfield, and seem to do pretty well.
We have had it deplorably wet, and the tracks are converted into mud channels. The weather has interfered very much with our school attendance, and made all out door work very backward.
