KIHIKIHI.

Divine Service.—Rev. J. P, Hewlett, of Auckland, conducted divine service in I Christ Church on Sunday evening lust. The sermon, which was very impressive, ! was most attentively listened to by the . congregation. Dance.— A dance was held in the Town Hall on Monday evening last. Owing to counter-attractions elsewhere, the attendance was not so large as it would have otherwise been. About twenty dancing ! couple were present, and the affair nassed off very satisfactorily indeed. Dancing 1 was indulged in until an early hour on Tuesday morning, when all departed for ' their respective homes, thoroughly satisfied ' with their night's amusement. The music, which was supplied by Messrs Wall (violin) and Patterson (piano), of Te Awamutn, was all that could be desired, refreshments were amply provided, and, judging from the patronage which the}' received, were much appreciated. Famous Driving.—lt is often noticeable that certain persons attending races., and being thus exposed to the heat of the sun during tho day, sometimes forget themselves, and rotucn home at n very rapid pace. From theso poor unfortunates, perhaps nothing better can bo expected, but from those whose brains are not so easily affected, we should look for an example. On Monday evening, whilst returning from the Te Awamutu races, a number of persons were frightened off the road, to escape, at they thought, being run over by a runaway. This subsequently proved to be a race between two buggies, the drivers of which were doing their utmost, both by shouting and otherwise, to urge their horses on in order to roach Kihikihi first. It being dark made matters decidedly awkward, ana on more than one occasion an accident seemed unavoidable. This sort of thing should be put a stop to, or, if allowed to continue, persons will not be safe on the roads at all. Had a buggy, or in fact a horseman, been going in the opposite direction, serious consequences would possibly have resulted, as avoiding a collision would have been out of tho question. Then would be the question, who would be to blame? Possibly two, at least, of your readers could answer without very much difficulty. [ , i i '
