WAIMAKARIRI AND ASHLEY WATER RACE.
TO THE EDITOB OP THE PRESS. Sm, —In the matter of the above and in answer to Mr Marmaduke Dixon, I wish to correct several statements in his letters to your contemporaries. In the first place, with regard to the intake at Brown's Rock, it very rarely is as much as sixteen (16) feet deep, and from time to time anyone might cross it on foot, for instance last winter twelvemonth.; and secondly, as to the advantage to Mr Dobson and his neighbours by making the intake from Rock Ford, it is merely a quibble, as should the intake be from the latter, Mr M. D. would never receive one tittle of the benefit as from the former.-—Yours, &c, Oxonian.
