(Own correspondent.) RAINFALL. Rain commenced to fall here early on. Friday and continued throughout day. Although it is welcomed by those having garden plots it will cause a break in shearing operations, which is now in full swii*’» throughout thp district. POLO. A Polo Chib ij> being formed H this, district and is likely to develop into a large affair, as fli, considerable number are joining. The location chosen for the "rounds is on the farm of Mr. W. J. Woods, of Homewdod. GENERALID my notes of Tuesday I remarked that the estate of the late Mr. R. Evans, Homewood, was offered for sale on Saturday by Son and Stewart, whereas the business was conducted by the Loan and Mercantile Agency. The property was passed in at £25 per acre and since then an advance on this price has been declined. Writing from England recently Mr. H. J. Pi-atley remarked that the £ield of grain crops was phenomenal but unfortunately th© weather was the worst experienced during the harvest time in the memory of the oldest inhabitant, with the result that the crops were partly left uncut or carted.
