The members of the local Tennis Club are making the most of the fine weather and several ladder matches have been played. The competitors in the combined handicap competition have played several matches and keen interest is taken in these games. Mr. B. Cummings lias donated a trophy for the winners. Rain is wanted for the gardens; also by the farmers as the pastures are in a lot of cases being, dried up and ploughing is held up owing to the ground being too hard. If rain does not come, feed will be scarce not only now but also in the winter. Hay crops are very light in most places.
