PATERANGI.

«, CONOKRT.—One of those enjoyable concerts, followed by a dance, for which Paterangi has now become fatuous, was given in the schoolroom on Friday I:3th inst., by our Glee Club. The building was crowded, nearly li 7 being taken at the door. A portion of the proceeds goes to the Glee Club for the purchase of new music, and the tetnainder to the Paterangi Cricket Club. Mr W. Maeky was chairman. The following programme was gone through. It is needless to say the audience was an appreciative one and duly applauded each piece, the Misses Finch and Miss Gerinann received encores and in each case repeated the last verse of the song. Programme : Instrumental duet, "Freischutz," piano and \iolin, Miss Bella Scott and Mr T. Goodfellow ; glee, ''Five times by tapers light," Club; duet, "Tell me where do fairies dwell," Misses Wills; song, ".Summer Shower," Miss Finch; song, " Scenes that are brightest," Mr Mead way; glee, "Blow blow thou winter wind," Club. Interval of ten minutes. Instrumental duet from "Norma," piano and violin, Miss Bella Scott and Mr Goodfellow ; glee, "From Oberon in Fairy Land," Club; duet, '".Tuanita," Misses Finch, (encored); song, "Enchanted Ground," Miss Germaun, with violin obligate by Miss Bella Scott, (encored); song, "The Outlaw," Mr Meadway; duet, "Flow on thou shining river," Misses Mackey and Germann ; glee, "As it fell upon a day," Club. God Save the Queen. Dancing was kept up till about 4 a.m. The night was beautifully fine and moonlight, and the weather being all that could be wished for, all came fully prepared to enjoy themselves, which they did thoroughly, indeed the music and singing were so good that the audience could not help being pleased. Mr Goodfellow is deserving of the highest praise for the trouble he has taken in bringing the Glee Club on so well. We have all the necessary talent, here to give good concerts, and as the summer is coming we may hope to have more such enjoyable evenings. Misokllankous.—Mr Reynolds is running the factory here this year, and though the supply of milk so far is not very great, there will be a considerable quantity brought in as the Mason advances. Our farmers are putting in large areas of wheat in expectation of a higher price next year. The hope of better returns has infused fresh vigour into them, and roused them from the apathy which they experienced after successive years of bad times. Our land is good, and if only sufficient inducement offers, we can show what Paterangi land can do in the way of growing crops, good in quality as in quantity. Cricket is, or rather will be enthusiastically practised by our club during the season, and we intend showing other clubs what we can do, for we moan to win the cup.
