A builder told a Herald reporter last week that trade in his line in Timaru is normal, and the output from t..e brick works is being fully absorbed. The building trade in Timaru the present time compared very favourably \xiih that in similar towns elsewhere. The population of the Wellington Zoo has been increased by two East African ▼ulturine guinea fowl, presented by Mr R. White. This species of bird has not before been represented at the city aoo (remarks the Evening Post), and is. therefore, a welcome addition, especially as the birds are very pretty, with black, peacock blue, and white breast plumage.
