Kaka Point, near Baiclutha, is at present the scene of an interesting industry, the preparation of kelp bags in ivnicli to pack the mutton-birds secured during the coming "kill." Kaka Point, it appears, is the principal centre of the kelp-bag industry, the groups of rocks which stud the beach-line forming like best known ground for the particular form of kelp iiscd in the muttonbird harvest. In consequence there occurs at this I;ime each year a foregathering of Maoris, who, with the resident natives, are daily to be seen busily manufacturing the receptacles for the succulent mutton-bird. Results of all trotting meetings from August Ist in 'Form at a Glance," ifl now published. Order early. Christchurch Press Co., Ltd., publishers.
