PALMERSTON NORTH v. HAWERA. (SPECIAL TO STAB.) Palmerston Noeth, February 25. Nicholas' rink was beaten by 20 to 14, and Tait's by 24 to 14. Each Hawera rink scored ten times to Paluierston's eleven. The second round will be played this afternoon. Mr Spenoe, of the Economic, who has been laid up for some days, iB on the mend. , Auckland riflemen who are to compete at Trentham include some of the beßt Bhotß who have competed at many of the New Zealand Rifle Association meetings in the past. During the week ending yesterday returns were reported from 51 dredges in Otago, the total yield being 13680zs lldwt 17gr8, or an average of over 260z per dredge. Sir Joseph Ward will leave Onehunga this afternoon for New Plymouth. He will open the new post office at Opunake tomorrow, and the one at Feuding on Thursday, returning to Wellington the same night. The Wellington committee have intimated that they think a list Bhould be circulated for signature by all thoße who endorse the Premier's actions, and separate lists for thoße who also want to contribute to the purse of sovereigns. The Auckland committee will act in accordance with the suggestion. Mr Worsfold has left at this office a rag wort plant in a finely developed state. It is about 4ft 6in high, and is in foil bloom. He took this plant from a large patoh in a paddock near Kaponga. At the annual meeting of the Wanganui branch of the Bgmont Wanganui Hunt Club, the report stated that the past year was a most succcessf ul one, both sooially and financially. The total receipts for the year were £214 10s. Mr Nixon said the success of last season proved that the amalgamation with the Egmont Club was » step in the right direction. The local contribution to the general fund was £193 4s 2d. The local expenditure only amounted to £21 5s lOd, of which £15 0s lOd was for mending fences. The report of the Wanganui branch of the Egmont-Wanganui Hunt Club states, inter alia : It behoves all members to use their best endeavour to put down the unnecessary exhibitions of fence breaking that bo frequently occur. Not only is ii most desirable that the property of farmer* whioh has been so kindly placed at oui .disposal should be protected as far as ' possible, but a very heavy item of ex • *enditure could be avoided if memberi took it npon themselves to atop non-sporti from schooling horses at the Meets. Silver watch lost. ladies in want of dresses for the Easto holidays should place their orders earlj and ouatomers may rely on first-class wor and moderate charges. Economic, Hawerc — A4yt«
