TELEGEAMS.
Hamilton, this day. —The weather was very wet latt night, and somewhat marred the Buccess of the performance of "Oar Boys," in aid of the parsonage fence. Nevertheless there was a good attendance, and the play went all well. Soveral email bankruptices have taken place in the Waikato recantly, but none involving any large sums of money, and no financial panic need be anticipated. Rural affairs on the whole are looking up. A considerable amount of land will bo put under crop this Eea?on, and confidence in agricultural pursuits is generally strengthening. The prospects of tho fruit season are excellent.
