BULLS.

(From Our Own Correspondent.) BULLS, Aug. 12. The regular meeting of members of Loyal Bulls Lodge, M.U-, 1.0.0.1'., held fast week, was presided over by B.L. Bro. D. O’Connell in the N.G. s absence. For the first time in the history of the lodge thero were no accounts for sick pay or expenses. The following committee was set up to control the social to be held after lodges next meeting; bisters M. Ellery and Stephen, and Bros. C. and C. C. Forbes, A. Stephen and D. O Connell. . , Further improvements have been recently effected in the buildings and grounds of the Bulls school. A partition 7ft. 6in. high has been erected in the old High School, separating Standards IV and V from the cookery room, which will make the building more comfortable for ' teachers and pupils, ihe partition adds to the appearance of the rooms A large new cycle shed has been erected to hold 50 cycles, and the old shed has been enlarged for use as a motor shelter. ihe rough pathway fronting the school grounds has been levelled and grassed, and will be mowed and kept in order by the pupils. The school grounds are a credit to the headmaster and teaching staff, as well as to the pupils and to the members of the School Committee. Throughout Thursday, Friday and Saturday the motor traffic heading for Wellington was the heaviest known here, and the return trip on Saturday night and through the whole of Sunday was equally phenomenal. At a low estimate 2000 cars pissed through Bulls on Sunday, averaging rather better than one a minute. Several breakdowns have been reported, and late on Sunday night a large car skidded on the slippery surface of the Bulls bridge, striking the sides in three places and doing considerable damage to the structure. The side railings were smashed, and one section of several feet completely torn away. The car was badly damaged, but fortunately did not go into the river, which is in high flood at present. Heavy rain fell in this district during the past two or three days, and judging by the swollen state of the Rangitikoi and Tutaenui rivers a great deal mint have fallen in the higher country. There is said to be an exceptional accumulation of snow in the back country this year, and when that molts an “Old Man Flood,” as the Maoris term it, is bound to eventuate. 1 . .
