Capt. Edwin wired at 1.5 p.m. as follows': —" Moderate to strong westerly winds; glass rise; tides good; sea, moderate."

The Blenheim concert party which perforinecTln the Havelock Town Hall last niglit Had quite an experience on their return" ' Somewhere towards midnight/ the " man in the moon " looked down on a party of halffrigthened maidens anclinot-over-confi-dent men, stranded mid-stream in the Wairau River at the Kaituna crossing. The conveyance, belonging to Mr John W: Rose, had • been drawn thus far by a strong team of three horses; so strong, indeed, that the leaders pulled the nut off a bolt, and passed on, leavinpr the shafter and the trap behind in three feet of water. After a hurried council of war, the web-footed member of the party succeeded in catching the straying horses, and the men and maidens —the latter first, of 'course —were brought safely ashore on their backs. The shatter theta managed to draw the empty vehicle " ashore," and the party, breathing more freely, and giving way to justified merriment, came on to town, with the loss of about half an hour. Another argument for a bridge! The capital of the Dunedin trawling company is £12jQ00. It is the intention to acquire a first class steamtrawler, with refrigerator and all the latest appliances, at a cost (delivered in the colony) of about £9000. Mr Alexander Williamson, one of the chief promoters of the company, will be master of the new vessel. He came out here as mate of the Komata witjj the sole object of learning whether this coast is suitable for trawling on a large scale, and l!tis satisfied that it is. Mr .Williamson hold a foreign-going master's certificate, and has had many years' experience in the trawling industry at Home. He thinks that tho total working expense of such a vessel would be roughly £40 a .week, but the crews are generally paid on. share. The first-class trawlers at Home usually catch from £150'-to £250 worth of fish per week, and if the demand for fish here should be equal to what Mr Williamson conceives the supply to be, the vessel should pay for herself in a little over a year. The proposed trawler will be able to go to sea in all weathers, and will steam twelve knots an hour. It could thus travel from the Bluff to Wellington without difficulty, calling in at Wellington; Lyttelton, Timaru, Oamaru, Dunedin and Bluff with regular supplies at regular dates. The Melbourne market is also to be kept in view. If the profits warrant it, it is the intention of the company to build other trawlers and thus establish the industry on a large scale.

The whole flock of Anglo-Nubian goats, which was founded by the late Baroness Burdett-Coutts in 1875, was sold in "London in the last week of May. The flock was the oldest in the country, and the Nubian element was introduced into the breed to improve the quality and quantity of the milk, and also to give the long drooping ears which are a feature of the breed. Prices were good from the beginning, the female goats averaging £8 4s 3d each. Two male goats were sold for £7 ss, and the kids, some of them only two months old, sold well, their average being £4 5s each. Lord de Clifford gave the top price, £16, for Asperula, a hornless female goat, and £12 15s for her kid.

Burglars have Been at work in Wellington during the past week or two. The houses of Messrs G. Fitzgerald, L. Blundell and T. G. Macarthy (all well-known citizens) have been broken into, and gold watches, valuable jewellery, money, and silver plate stolen".

There are numerous persons, Mr G. S. Munro states, who are deluging him for permission to buy articles at the Exhibition buildings, that will give them;.the opportunity to rummage for treasxire^anion'g the debris. Mr Munro says tha%. he has had to refuse some applications which were obviously pretexts for a scavenging hunt.
