School Examination. The district Echool was examined on October 2Gtli, by Inspector Dickinson, the result being very satisfactory, as there were only three failures out of some 40 ok the roll .Social. —An enjoyable social in aid of funds for the annual picnic and sports, which has been looked forward to -with much interest for some time, took place in the schoolroom on Friday evening last, and proved the success which it most sanguine promoters anticipated, and tliG Committee who had everything arranged in an up-to-date manner, might well be congratulated on the result, though the attendance was not so large as usual, it was fully representative, as amongst those present we noticed several from Hamilton, Ohaupo, To Awaniutu and other districts, and no doubt a respectable sum will be added to the fund. Mr Jos. Hodgson presided, and after a few introductory words, called on Miss Davies and Miss M. Hodgson, who opened the social with a piano duct, followed by a song from Mr Fell, " Dream Voices," with violin obligato by Miss D. Bowilen, which was well rendered. The next item a song, by Miss Alien, was one of the gems of the evening, and was encored. .Song, " The Arab's Farewell," -Mr Dillon, was also loudly applauded, it beiug his first appearance here. A violin solo, " Blue Bella of Scotland," by Miss D. Uowden, was rendered iu a pleasing manner. A nigger speech, " Am I Right Or Ami Wrong," Mr H. Hell, took well. Duet, " Bright Sparkliug Waters," Mr and Mrs Partington, was highly appreciated ; as also was Mr Partington's song, " The Eight End Of Life." Recitation, " The .Slave That Saved St. Michael," Miss Dillon. Heading, " Mrs Max Williams And The Lightening," Mr Chester. duet. " L'fe's Dream is O'er," Miss Allen and Mr Fell ; violin solo, " The Harp That Once," Miss D. Bowden, and like her former solo was rendered iu her very best style, and was most energetically applauded. The next item, a comic song, " The Last Time," by Mr Miles, took immensely well, and as the audience would insist on his re appearance he repeated a portion of it. Another comic song, " A Little More Cider," by Mr Ji. Bell, alto took very well. The next item, an amusing reading by Mr S. Keitl, caused no end of amusement. The social Mas then brought to a close with the dialogue " Pothingerdrauche," in which Mi-s M. Hodgson, Mr Davies, Mr If. Hodgson, and Master A. Tilly took part. All sustained their paits admirably and fairly brought down the house. Miss Mitchell, of Te Awamiltu, played most of the accompaniments on the piano very clliciently, and the committee desire to express their thanks to that lady for her generous assistance. A vote ot thanks was accorded to all who had kindly assisted in the programme. Refreshments, provided by the ladies of the district, were then handed round, after which the seats were removed and a merry dance by the young folks was kept going till near 'J.am., when all dispersed after a most enjoyable night's amusement.— (Own Conespondcnt),
