THE WEATHER
A FINE WEEK-END LIKELY. Yesterday morning cold rain and colder wind disappointed those who had hoped against hope for a change. Wellington has endured two weeks of semi-Antarctic weather, and most people are heartily tired of it. Towards midday, however, the wind dropped a little, and it actually began to clear up. Patches of blue sky became visible, and during the lunch hour that welcome stranger, the sun, shone out, without much warmth, however. The afternoon was generally fine, and an excellent view' was afforded of the snow on the ranges to the hack •of Pencarrow. The RimUtakas were obscured by a heavy mist. About 8 o’clock in the evening slight rain again fell, hut the co-id was not so biting as on Wednesday and Thursday. The southerly, too, dropped during the evening. The official forecast last night was for moderate to strong southerly winds, w'ith changeable conditions prevailing for a little time. Fair weather. however, was expected to predominate soon. “WET AND WINTRY.” Press Association. CHRISTCHURCH, May 22. Wet and wintrv weather again prevailed to-day. The prospects arc bad for to-morrow’s fixtures.
