The Domain on January 2 was the scene of a most pleasant gathering, no less than 1,200 children, attenders at the various Sabbath schools, having assembled within its precincts to spend the day in amusement. Swings, French tig [sic], buns, milk, tea, lollies, merry-go-round, &c., afforded endless sources of gratification…. Newton School (Independent), 140 scholars, Mr. Noah Wood, manager for the day. [9]
1871 Noah and Enoch WOOD mentioned in the drinking reform issues
paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/paperspast?a=d&cl=s...
New Zealand Herald, Volume X, Issue 2868, 8 April 1873, Page 2
“A musical and literary entertainment, in connection with the Newton Band of Hope was held in the Newton Congregational School-room last evening. The room was comfortably filled by an attentive and appreciative audience. The Rev. G. H. Turner presided. The first portion of the musical entertainment was sacred the second secular. Mr. Noah Wood gave an original reading entitled, "Auckland in 1883," in which he showed what a great amount of good the passing of the Permissive Bill had done for this province after it had been in operation for five years. At the conclusion of the reading Mr. Wood was greeted with continued applause.” (I wonder how close to the truth his vision of the effects of drink on society in 1883 were?!) [11]
Noah decided to leave NZ and return to England as an advert appears for the whole of his household furniture for sale at his residence, Collingwood Street on 31 March 1874 [12]
Auckland Star, Volume V, Issue 1292, 28 March 1874, Page 2
We observe that Mr Noah Wood and family will be among the passengers homeward bound by the good ship Hindostan, commanded by Captain Robert Peek. Mr Wood leaves on account of ill health, thinking that the colder climate of his native land may possibly improve his physical constitution. It is due to Mr Noah Wood to say that he has been most assiduous while in Auckland in his endeavours to advance the public good by advocating the principles of sobriety and imparting religious instruction in Sunday schools. It is meet, therefore, that his friends should publicly recognise his labours previous to his departure from these shores.[13]
Auckland Star, Volume V, Issue 1293, 30 March 1874, Page 2
We understand that yesterday afternoon the teachers and children of the Newton Congregational Sunday School presented Mr Noah Wood (who is leaving for England) with a beautiful and valuable collection of New Zealand ferns in a handsomely carved case of mottled kauri, as a token of their respect, and as a recognition of his services in connection with the school, and more especially for the part he took in the erection of their present comfortable schoolroom in Edinburgh-street. The young men's class also presented him with an album bound in morocco, and containing their portraits. Mr Wood has for many years past been secretary of the school, and also teacher of the Young Men's class. We are sure Mr Wood must feel an inward satisfaction that his past efforts have been successful in no small degree. He carries with him not only any special tokens of appreciation, but from everyone who has come in contact with him, expressed or unexpressed regret at his removal. Not only has the church in Newton lost an eminent worker, but in many other matters in the city, which bore in a christian direction in which he was specially useful, must lose considerably. He leaves in a few days for England, and we hope the result of his labours in Auckland will bear much fruit.[14]
Also sold “a superior riding mare 12 years old, bred by R. Gaham, Esq. She is very quiet, ad broken to carry a Lady.[15]

In thanking my customers, and the residents of Ponsonby and neighbourhood generally, for the encouragement given me during the past six months, beg to assure them that, in the future, no effort will be spared to make my establishment second to none in Auckland, for quality, cleanliness, attention, and cheapness.
The quality hitherto supplied will be continued.
New residents on leaving their orders, will receive prompt attention.
