ROUND the District.

Feildina'

(Manawatu Times.)

I was sorry to hear that Mr J, Cobba's Httlo daughter, Kathleen, while riding p. horsa at her homo, on Friday, fell off and broke her aroa below tho elbow. Tho little sufferer was attendod to by Dr Johnston, and on making enquiry I am pleased to say that the little patient is doing as well as can bo expected. To-night the Anderson Dramatic Co. ploy " Ladder of Lifo " in the Drill Hull, ■whon I am sure they will havo a packed house. It is nnt often wo arc so lucky as to have such a company in Fcildiug. I hear that the Manchester Rifles are onpagod to take part in tho scono of storming tbe Dargai Heights. To-morrow night they stago " A London Arab." All tbo schools in this district open this morning. Tbe gate at the Aorangi station is rcpsatedly being left open. This is not only dangerous through lotting strayed cattle on the line, but [it opens almost ba'f-way across tho road, and a person driving could easily run into it, and porliap3 have a very nasty accident. - I havo now bad to shut it on throo ooca I sions while riuinK home. I bclinvc there is a boavy penalty against any person found guilty of leaviDg (his gate opon. Tho Feilding Brass Uand played at tho Rotunda in the Square, on Saturday evening, and their music was very much enjoyed by a large audience. The music quite livened up tho town, and I trust, they recived a fair collection, for I Boould like to see them play out ct lecst once a month during Ul2 summer, bur, of course, thoy aro not expected to pay for nothing, nud 1 hope tho townspeople will support thcis.
