PUNGAREHU
We had lately at Pungarehu, on the Taranaki coast (writes an esteemed correspondent) a very successful Maori fair, which has entirely wiped oE the debt on St. Martin's pretty new church, built there in 1903. Opened on Monday, April Ist, by Mr. M. Fleming (chairman of the County Council), and continued during the four following ni'gnts, the event was brought to a happy close on April 5, when both Rev. Father Cogaiet and Mr. M. Fleming, speaking on the results achieved, did full justice to the good spirit evinced during the fair by all sections of the communit'/. Three beautiful prizes were then presented to the three best canvassers, namely— Misses M. Barrett, M. Flemns, and Mary McGrath, of Ureymoutb. The total takings amounted to £272 14s, with about £10 or £12 more to come in— a most gratifying result, quite in proportion to the devotedness of the workers and the prosperity of the district.
