In the evening our visitors were treated to tho light fantastic in the school room. The music was provided by Mr R. B. Braithwaile, who kindly played the whole evening. I believe our visitors were pleased with their trip, at all events we were ; and it is to be hoped that this is nob tho last match between the Wbatawhata and Ngaruawahia Cricket Clubs. — Owx Correspondent.
