As Mr Thomas Anderson was the only one nominated, he was declared to be duly ulectud. Social.—Un Monday next, a social will be held in the Public Hall, the proceeds of which are to be devoted towards purchasing iron wherßwith to roof tho portion of the Human Catholic Church, at present covered with shiugles. As it is soiriotime since a similar gathering has been held here, and tho fact of Monday night being moonlight, it is anticipated that the affair will be attended with equal success, as liavn been those of tho past. Wuemtj.inu.—A wrestling match for £'5 a-sido took place in the Public Hall on Saturday night last, beweau two natives, natriei Horo (of Otnrnhunsa), and Juia (of Whatawhata). Tho attendance of both Kuropeaiis and Maoris was large, and considerable interest was taken in the affair. Before the contest was commenced, a great deal of kororo was indulged in with regard to tho stylo to be adopted, one being in favour of the Cumberland, and the other the Mauri style. After jome little delay, the Mauri style wis decided on. and tho struggle then began. .lulu, succeeded in Raining tho first full, which turned out to be the only one of the evening, as, although two more struggles ensued, neither gumed a fall. Horo strained his aim somewhat badly, and was compelled to retire, whereupon .lula (the favourite), amidst great applause, was declared by tho .iudgo (Mr Pepenn Eketone) to be the winner, it is understood that Horn is not quite satisfied with his defeat, and that a match between the same partie.- for L'-U a side ha- been ar j ranged, and will come oil' shortly.
