LE BON'S BAY.

OUT AND ABOUT.

There has been a little more anjknation in the Bay this last fortnight than usual. Mr Yorke's visit and the meetings re the dairy factory all help to fill up for jottings. The letters in the Mail gave room for conversation, and enabled the farmer to talk of something else than cocksfoot, of which the mention is in no way calculated to make them smile. ' Progress' has again come forth. Where lias he been of late ? I thought he had taken wings, but oh ! no 1 he has been looking on calmly. Some time back he gave the farmers a rare doing about their butter and cheese, and now he compares the Akaroa Farmers' Association to a lot of old hens trying to hatch a factory. This indeed is an unkind cut. Poor Farmers' Association ! What hast thou done to deserve such ft term ? TUG-OF-WAR. : Our team's victory in the contest at Okain's was very popular indeed, and we were surprised no report appeared in your columnsi It has also been rumored w that Okain's wishes to meet Leßon'a again. If that is so, they are willing to pull them here as soon as they wish. S.S. JANE DOUGLAS. This steamer not being able to, [and her cargo on Friday evening, it toeing low water, and there being a heavy ro'l, it was thought she would call in on Saturday. In consequence of this a number of residents went to the jetty thot day, and waited from 10' a.m. till nearly 4 p.m. There was also a passenger who urgently wished to go to Christchurch. The people here ,would esteem it a favor if Messrs Cuff and Graham would give some idea through the Mail of how they intend to run, so as to save this unnecessary waiting and waste of time. -•'*
