MASTERTON.
(EROU CUE OWN CORRESPONDENT.) September 26, The Acclimatisation Society here have now 5000 young trout swimming about in their boxes, and 10,000 ova will be hatched in a few days. About 1500 trout have been sold, ’ and 300 were liberated in Renall's Creek on Saturday last. Considering the short time the society has been in existence, the members are using every effort to make it a success, as the above results will show.
Captain Donald's cup was fired tor on Saturday last at the Manaia range. Band Corporal Geo. Bentley was the winner with a score of 64, Volunteer D’Aroy coming next with 57. D’Arcy has won the cup twice previously, and had he been successful on Saturday the cap would have become his own property.
The funeral of the late Mr C. A. Vallanca was well attended yesterday. Although the weather looked threatening, it did not prevent a large number from all parts of the valley taking part in the procession. The Masonic Lodges of the district were represented by the officers and brethren, and the beautiful service of the Order was impressively rendered by Rev. W. E. Paige, after the Church of England service.
