A CORRECTION.

[To the Editor of the Daily.| Featherston, Jan. 12,1882. Silt,--I beg to make a correction in your report of the Featherston'school picnic, It states that the picnic was under the management of Mr Tuokey. This is not the case. The picnic was carried out by the school committee, who appointed a sub-committee from thomselves, toge-.. ther with the teachers and parents, Tho credit of tho management is therefore due to that committee, and not to the headmaster. There is one person deserving of special thanks for the manner in which he worked and tho assistance he gave, viz,, Mr Joseph Viles. This gentleman gave up nearly three days of his time and the use of a large brake and pair of horses, and worked very haril himself. Your Featherston correspondent seems generally to have a happy knack of misrepresenting things and causing a deal of amusement by his wild " guesses" and injudicious statements. Mr Tuckey certainly deserves credit, but only in common with a host of others, for the very successful and mest enjoyable picnic theFeatherstonians wore treated to last Tuesday. I must nut forget the services of the ladies, Mrs Tuckey and Mrs Macfarlane working very hard—in fact all the ladies did their best,

By inserting this you will attribute, Honor to Whom Ho»oit is due,
