Of 100 original settlors who took up standing bush sections in the Manchester block, Feilding, in 1887, only about half-a-dozen are now in occupation (states the Mana.wa.tu Daily Times). Many have died and left their sons in possession, more have sold out with a competence; but none have left through failure. They were of selected stock and their landlord was a corporation of bu sines smon.

Considerable amusement was caused at a meeting of the Manawatu Rugby Union when a letter was received from the Stomp Duties officer, stating that an error had occurred in the union's statement of the. tax on 800 grandstand tickets. This should be £3 6s Bd, not £3 6s 6d as shown. The letter concluded with the request that the 2d should be forwarded.
