WANAKA NOTES

(From Ouk Own Correspondent.) PEMBROKE, January 12. THE WEATHER. The weather during the past week was unsettled with some heavy showers. The cutting of barley is well forward, and the yields and quality of the grain should be well up to the average. Haymaking has been retarded by the frequent showers, but turnip crops and late sown wheat have benefited considerably. CRICKET. Luggate played Wanaka a challenge match for the Williams Cup on Saturday, at Pembroke, Wanaka retaining the trophy by a margin of 79 runs. Lupgate made 132 runs (R. Reid 35, S. Reid 26. R. Gillespie 10, and C. Templeton 10). Ironside (5 for 27), I. Mackay (2 for 43), S. Willetts (2 for 9, and H. Harris (1 for 20) took the wickets for Wanaka. Wanaka made 211 runs (C. Collings 65, H. Harris 56, J. Withnell 22, C. Tompkins 10. C. Wilson 10, and W. Ironside 12). S. Reid (1 for 40), Hunt (2 for 39), Gibb (2 for 33). and T.
