The rubbish baskets on the railway platforms are made the receptacle of all sorts and conditions of things (states the “Greymouth Evening Star”). On a recent morning, whilst seeing friends off by the express, a lady was observed placing her prize dog in one of the baskets “for safety,” till the train left the station, when it wns once more given its freedom. The disconsolate air of the dog at being placed in such a structure, even temporarily, suggested that even a dog has its feelings. Visitors to the Auckland Infirmary have noticed unusual activity in connection with the old bowling green there Ustiys the “Star”). It is now being topdressed, and next season should be one of the best greens in Auckland. There are a number of very keen bowlers at the infirmary, and the majority of th.in were “skips,” said bne of the veterans yesterday, who said that the trouble was going to be to get leads. The veterans are hopeful of being able to play some of the leading Auckland bowling teams.
