HBH 1890 July 29 PARKER Thomas WAIROA-Monday Mr Thomas PARKER, who had been suffering from consumption for many months, died on Saturday at 9.20 a.m. Deceased was an old settler of the WAIROA, having arrived here in 1869, when he commenced business as a saddler. About 12 years ago he married the widow of the late John GRAY, blacksmith of this place, by whom he received a considerable accession to his means. Subsequently he took up the business of bookseller and General storekeeper, which he carried on successfully. He also acquired a good deal of landed property, and his life was insured for a considerable amount, so the widow and family (three children of PARKER, and two by her former husband) are well provided for. Messrs W MOLONEY and John BLACK are the executors under the will. The late Mr PARKER took an active interest in local affairs, having been chairman of the WAIROA Harbor Board and of the CLYDE Town Board, member of the County council, hospital committee, And other local institutions. The funeral took place yesterday afternoon, and was very largely attended, both by townspeople and country settlers. The Foresters, which deceased was a member of, appeared in regalia and carried the coffin up the hill from the gate of the cemetery to the grave. Mr W MOLONEY read the burial service of the Roman Catholic Church to which the deceased belonged, and Mr G B FLINT read that of the Foresters. Deceased who was a nephew of Mr Thomas MORRISON, formerly one of the proprietors of the HERALD, was much respected as a straightforward and honourable man of business, and his demise at the early age of 38 years is much regretted.

HBH 1890 July 28 Concert St Patrick's Hall Hastings Note by Elaine***Typed as written A very successful concert was held in St Patrick's Hall, Hastings, and last Friday evening in aid of the building fund of the infant school, which is now being built, and which will accommodate about fifty scholars. The hall was crowded. Father PRATIER took the chair and chief items on the programmes were songs and a well written comedy, which the management, profiting by past experience, wisely substituted for the "historical tragedies in seven acts," produced on former occasions. The piece was "My Aunt's Heiress," and being within the powers of the pupils, it was very creditably performed by Misses DANVERS, MADDISON, HEWITSON, SHANLEY, HASTINGS, Mc NAMARA, LIVESEY, KINGSWELL, LILLEY, and WINTON. In the vocal department I may bracket Miss ALDRIDGE and Miss WINTON as singing their respective songs with distinction which older singers might imitate with advantage. R, SHANLEY, and N. CAULTON, on two pianos, had a very good effect. Miss FLYNN did good service in accompaniments for the songs. Taken as a whole, the entertainment reflected great credit on the good sisters who taught the children. After the concert Father SMYTHE, in a brief address thanked the audience for their attendance, paid a graceful tribute to the sisters who exertions had so promoted the efficiency of the school, and announced the welcome news that a short holiday was granted to the children.-(Own Correspondent.)
