FOXTON NOTES.
(From Our Own Correspondent.) FOXTON, Nov. 28. On Saturday afternoon a “working bee” of the Foxton Football Club commenced draining operations in connection with the preparation of No. 1 playing area on the racecourse. About two chains of drain were dug and a similar length yet remaining to be done will be executed by means of another “bee” one evening this week. An accident occurred to a car on tho Foxton-Levin road in front of Mr S. Jackson’s gateway at the end of the southern approach to the Whirokino bridge on Saturday evening. The car, which was travelling in the direction of Levin and which contained two men, swung out too wide on the corner with the result that the offside wheels got into the soft soil at the side of the road and the vehicle capsized. The car did not appear to be badly damaged but it is believed one of the men was cut about the face by flying glass.
