' They were afterwards lined' up in the main street ajod photo* I graphed. About 1 p.m. the man with the bugle sounded the music and they got aboard the 'coaches and resumed their trip. I expect the track will be a bit ; wet as we have bad a good deal of rain .this last two days. I It seems we have hardly seen the last of > winter yet, there being a slight hailstorm this morning. ' ; Some of the, farmers managed to get a : bit of hay. ia during the last ityf days of fine weather w^ had. but. * »cc several paddocks cut 9/xA teykg out in the wet. Ml G. £> Btttji, fishing in the Kapnjri, the'oijher day, landed a fine specimen of the rainbow trout, weighing fjlbs. The fish was in splendid condition, and gare a fine fight.
