I [fEOJI OUR ORMONDVIILE COBBESpondentJ I January 24, 1899. ) The Ormondville Sports Club has a ) balance of .£lB 16s 9d after the annual meeting. This must be regarded as eminently satisfactory, and considering that the ground is to be put in order this year, would seem to augur a very prosperous future for the club. . firewood and timber merchants have not now nearly so much reason to complain with respect to the shortage of trucks on the railway, and they give , their heartfelt thanW to the Dopartmehfc \ for so attending to their needs. The presence of dead stock on our i public roads is not an unmixed blessing. i At any rate, if there be some disposed to , argue the point about this question, two Takapau ladies whom this nuisance ! greatly enlivened yesterday, think so.. The horse they were driving became so exceedingly lively that he could not be prevailed upon to sober down until he had left forcible marks of his heels in the woodwork of the conveyance. The scone of thiß excitement was the hill just above the Manawatu below Novsewood. The league circuit cycle meeting proposed to be held at Danevirke on the 15th March will not be supported by the local club. They have in view a meeting at Easter for local riders, and this will be carried through in preference. Tho Duno virke cricketers meet Kumoroa at Danevirko to-morrow. Tho following will represent tho home team : — Knight, Uartgill, Down, Pawson, Glass, Kemp, M. Ilendorson, Kearney, M'Loan, Gleoson, and Loader.
