(From Our Own Correspondent.) BULLS, Feb. 9. Mr M. Ividd returned home last week from the Wanganui Hospital. His condition is a little improved. Mr K. Dwyer’s little girl also returned from the same institution, having made a good recovery from serious scalds. Mr and Mrs C. L. McDermott left,, on Saturday for a short holiday at Apiti. Owing to showery weather, most outdoor sports and pastimes had to be postponed on Satiu'day afternoon, there being no play on the bowling and croquet greens, tennis courts, or polo ground. If conditions are favourable on Wednesday, it is likely that practice polo games wilt bo jdayed.

Thorby, who has scored many possibles here, added another at 500yds, after only dropping a point at 300yds, a fine performance. Scores at 300 and 500yds were as follow : P. Thorby, 49—50—99; A. Stevenson, 48— 49—97; H. Meads, 46-48-94: K. W. Dalrymple, 46—45—91: A. W. Amon, 41— 41—82.
