DEPOSIT OF SILT.
GOLF LINKS BENEFIT. EFFECT OF HUTT FLOODS. (From Our Correspondent.) WELLINGTON, Tuesday. Contrary to expectations the flood waters after the storm on Sunday night, instead of damaging the golf links at Manor Park, Bouleott and Hutt, which were covered several feet deep, have actually improved the grounds by laying a deposit of silt and levelling some areas. On the last occasion of an exceptional flood the Manor Park links were covered with boulders, but this time boulders and other debris were almost entirely absent. . '
The caretaker of the Bouleott links had an unpleasant experience yesterday. In the early morning he visited the links and, finding them entirely free from water, passed on to see what bad happened to the Hutt links. When he began to return he found the water had come round behind him and his way was cut '-jff. He had to wait three hours before the water went down sufficiently for him to get home.
