GALA DAY AT KAHUTARA. RESULTS OF CHILDRETN’S COMPETITIONS. ("Times-Age” Special.) The exhibits at the Gala Day held at Kahutara were judged by Mrs A. C. Pearce, who complimented the children on their high standard of work. Mr A. Johnston, Greytown, judged the calves, Mr T. Scott, Martinborough, the lambs, and Mr Harland tne woodwork. The silk art work is deserving of special mention, it. being of a very high standard. Great credit is due to Mrs McKenna, who has devoted an afternoon a week for the last 4 years to teaching the children this work, the result of which must be very gratifying to her.
