The hot weather experienced for the

past few weeks continued °n Saturday and yesterday. Towards evening a bank of clouds came up, and about midnight rain began to fall. By 1 o'clock the rain was coming down in a steady downpour, and a t-Orriential fall i was experienced between 7 a.m. and £'B a.m. after which the rain j 7 o’clock this morning, wten the rain i ceased and since then no in'-re has fai- . leu. The fall wag of a substantial u&t- ---! ure and should prove sufficient to fill i tanks and give the gardens a god weti ting. The substantial n'd-ure of the fall locally may be gathered from the record for under seven hours which amounted to 1.95 inches. It is remarkable that the downpour did not extend into the. country district,- to any extent. At Kanieri Tght showor s were experienced, at Upper Kokatahi them wia.s only a light shower during the niglit, while towards Lake Kanieri no rain fell. The ram did not extend further north, and Gb'eymouth did not have any fall. It is unfortunate that, the

country districts did not participate, because in the Kokatahi Valley most of the smaller creeks hove dried up a«<t have had the necessity to drive their stock to the Ever <or larger creeks to give them the necessary water, this entailing considerable labour, and proving distressful to the stock in hot weathr.
