Last week was very fine, with a couple of frosts, not,, however, of very great severity. The barometer was very high, the highest I have seen it for years. As a result of the good weather, allied to the much greater amount of top-dressing now being done, the country is looking very well, and the grass is making growth,; unless there is a very had setback later on there are all the appearances, of a good season. ( The local euchre parties will conclude on Tuesday evening, when the points prizes will be given out. Last week the ladies’ prize fell to Mrs. VouHaire with nine games out of twelve, and the l gentlemen’s prize to Mr. M. A. Voullaire with nine and a half games 1 out of twelve.. The local school girls’ basketball team journeyed to Otakeho on Saturday, and scored another win by nine points to one, their fifth win out of six games played. •
