TOKOMARU BAY.
The weather gods gave us a little of their old-time humor last week, when we had eight days' continuous rain, j The creeks were all m heavy flood. ' Not only was the coach mail service disorganised, but the sea being rough, ; the Arahura could not work the bay. < The coast is also. getting short of certain lines of stores. First the Mako went into dock, then the Awahou; then a strike held up the Mako, and altogether we have been cut off from the outside world.
The local football matches are still drawing large crowds. The last of the ward matches will be played next Saturday, when Waima meets City. Should City win they will probably have to play off with Wanderers. After the ward matches are finished it is hoped to get a match or two against Tolaga and possibly Gisborne. The recent rain and warm weather have started a fine . spring growth of grass. Lambing has commenced on several of the local stations.—(Correspondent, August 6.)
