WANAKA NOTES

(From Our Own Correspondent.) PEMBROKE, March 12

Some relief from the dry conditions that have prevailed in the Upper Clutha during the : past month was afforded by heavy rain that commenced early on Sunday morning and continued until mid-day. In the evening the wind changed to the south, with'further rniu and hail showers. Farmers are now busy threshing. The returns in most cases arc disappointing owing to late frosts and a prolonged dry spell when the grain came in to ear. CRICKET. Wauaka played Luggate on Saturday and won by 148 runs to 48. J. Bovett (48) and S. Willctts (37) .batted well for Wanaka: ' ; ' WANAKA DOG TRIALS.
