Social. —The usual social and dance under the management of the Raglan Social and Dramatic Club, came otf in the Tublie Hall, Raglan, on Friday last. There was not such a large master as usual. However, those who were proFen t seemed to enjoy themselves. The music was Uind'y supplied by Mrs Raslriok, and was all that could be desired. Mr V. Moon acted as M.C. Several songs were given during the evening, and were much appreciated. Dancing was indulged in with undimiLished vigour until about '2 o'clock iu the morning.

Shooting Season.—The shooting season for imported game opened on Saturday and a number of sportsmen were out, but I have not heard of any heavy bags being obtained. Pheasants are not particularly plentiful this season.
