Our Waitara correspondent writes : — Clifton Rovers anticipate a warm reception from Stratford Second, who have R. H. Kivell to play full-baok and " coach " them. However, as I said before, I fancy the Rovers and your end will fight it out ; aad I can assure you a good team all round will be wanted to beat the C.R's. They play a hard and fast game, and are getting into better condition every day.

We are informed that Mr Sisley denies that he said he had received a message from Mr Bayley saying he was not coming to the meeting of the Normanby Licensing Committee. He heard from a member that Mr Bayley said he would not be present, and that they could fight it out among themselves.

Mr Olson, of Taranaki, says a London correspondent, returned to town on May 13th, after a brief stay in Scotland. He says he has purchased a couple of pedigree Ayrshire cattle—one a two-year heifer, and the other a yearling bull — from the celebrated breeder Mr Robert Wallace, of Maucbline. These animals are intended for Mr Olßon's stud, but be contemplates buying both cattle and Lincoln and Romney Marsh sheep with a view to his next spring sale. Mr Olßon haß gleaned some facts with respect to Glasgow's capability of absorbing New Zealand cheese. He will proseente his enquiries further, and having «• weighed up " Glasgow will after* wards attempt to fathom the mysteries of Tooley-street and other London haunts of butter-merchants.-— Herald.

The following is a copy of the letter received by tbe secretary of the Eltham Co-operative Dairy Company, and referred to in the report in another column :—": — " I hope that the accompanying aooount will be considered satisfactory by your company, the highest (genuine) quotations for New Zealand cheese being 50s to 525. Tbe fact of the cheese being pure white enables us to make a shilling or two per cwt more. I congratulate your company upon having gone in for cheese making, for the butter trade during the past Beason has proved a sad disappointment, and we cannot see that there are any very bright prospects for the coming season. The Australian batter is coming much finer than New Zealand, and the quantity coming from all the continental sources is enormouß. I hope to see you in August, and shall be pleased to hear that you are satisfied with the past season's operations. — I am, &0., James Kowin."
