[From Cur Own Correspondent."!

The Telega Bay school children held their annual picnic on Thursday on the beautiful .grounds of Air. John Aloore, of Taharangi, being conveyed there by the Tologa Bay Lightering- Company's two launches. The day was beautiful and line. The parents of the children rolled- up in great force, and bellied to make the picnic most enjoyable. Prizes were allotted to the winners of each event, which were keenly contested. The schoolmaster, Air. Aliller, had the children’s programme in - hand, and being ably assisted by the committee and others, got everything off in firstclass style. Luncheon was provided cn the grounds, there being full and plenty' for everybody. 0; course this was taken in hand by the ladies, and was 'handled as only ladies can do at these sort of gatherings. Towards 5.30 p.m. the launches, packed with happy but tired children, left for home, the youngsters giving three hearty cheers for Air. and Airs. Aloore io-i- their kind hospitality, as the boats left Air. Aloore’s wharf.

The weather during the past week has been very fine, the roads in perfect order, and there is abundance of feed everywhere. Air. C. E. Smith’s new residence is just completed, and docs credit to the township and contractor. Air. Fletcher/builder, of Tologa Bay, has secured the contract for the building of a large supper room adjoining the Tologa Bay Town Hall, which, when ready for use, will be much appreciated.
