At the annual meeting of the Waihi Acclimatisation Society it was decided to apply for permission to liberate opossums and red deer. A member said an area of SO square miles around Waihi was suitable for red deer. . “To find out how the whitebait were running,” was given as a reason foi enteiing a West Coast hotel after hours in a locality near a river, which yields considerable quantities of the deiicacy. Sho asked for bread and a good-natured officer of a local religious organisation gave it to her (says a Wanganui paper). Judge his surprise a few days later when lie learned that she had sold the bread and attended the pictures with the proceeds Wireless advice received by Mr G. 1. Guide, of Opotiki, from White Island, states that gannets are already beginning to congregate there (states the hew Zealand Herald). This is considered to b o a sure siffn of an early spring.
