LOCAL AND GENERAL.

| Mr A'. B. Armour's gooa fortune which accompanied his efforts on the turf last year gives promise to stand by him again this year. At the D.J.C. meeting on Saturday last, Thistledown won the Shorts Handicap of 125 spvs., of which the first horse took £10.5. The Timaru Post announces the death, on September 25th, of Mr Geo. A.

The no wis were tried on it recently, and they | were in most cases true to bias. There | is a little work to be done yet in the j -way of grassing the top and cot;om • ends of the boundaries. A good deal of excavating had to be oone to get a j ievel surface, about 4ft of earth nav- ! ing to be removed from the lop eod. j Mr D. Alexander, of Patearua, met j with a rather painful accident on j Saturday night in a very simple manner, and one which will be ucder- ; stood by cyclists. In riding along ; the road without a lamp he came . across a patch of loose gravel and was | thrown off, sustaining a severely i Bruised shoulder and marks on his face of the contact with the gravel. After a short visit to the'hospital he ! was atle to return home, but will | have occasion for a few days to re- . member the necessity of cycling with a light* at night.

A petition j was received from Waipiata asking for i the removal of the school to as;te in j the township, the writers stating that j 22 out of 28 children would be saved j two and_ three-quarter miles a day. j Mr Black' (chairman of the committee) I wrote protesting against the removal of the school, but Inspector Don, who favoured its removal, pointed out that when the present school was erected there was no township of Waipiata. Now the school stood alone, all the pupils coming from Waipiata or beyond. It was agreed that the architect and Mr Fleming should report on the matter.
