BRUNNER NOTES.

(From Our Own Correspondent.; Ono of the most interesting and amusing cricket matches seen in this district, was played on Thursday, when Taylorville schoolboys beat Dobson schoolboys. A predominating ieature of thQ game was the number of “ducks.” The annual school concert, and presentation of prizes tqok placet on Friday. This event is a red letter day for the children, to say nothing of the

pleasure derived by the* parents. l ln future th'os© individuals, who have dined not wisely, but too well, need not blame Wallsend bridge for any swaying motion, qas new guy ropes have been placed in position, thus g-v--ing it increased stability. The Brunner accident fund ceased to> exist as from December 4th. Proyision will be made for those in the fund at that date. A sick fund has been established, whereby members Will receive payment in the event of sickness.

The railway line at Wallsend, n’ow completed, Ts certainly a great improvement, but the steps leading to the station, are somewhat in the nature- of a sobriety test. Capt. WaJkqr was tendered a number of presentations on his leaving the district. Capt. Walker is tq be married shortly, and best wishes are extended to him and his prospecitve bride.
