Manaroa.
(From our own Correspondent.) With reference to the conflicting accounts of the result of the cricket match played recently at Kenepuru, between the Manama and Kenepuru teams, I am requested to state that after playing two innings the game was Avon by the Manama players by six runs. You referred a short time ago to a trip which a number of gentlemen from Wellington Avere making in the Sounds in the oil-launch lua. It may interest your readers to learn that one of the gentlemen was a photographic artist of some repute, who accompanied the Duke and Duchess of York throughout their colonial tour; he succeeded while in the Sounds 'in obtaining a series of very fine views which it is intended to publish in album form. : Those, we feel sure, Avill go far to enlighten the people of Wellington and others as to the beautiful nature of the Sounds scenery, and tend to attract visitors to'the locality. Workmen arc now making rapid progress towards the completion of the telephone line to Manama. The poles are noAv in the ground as far as Portage, Kenepuru, * and there seems every prospect of the lino being finished within the time mentioned by the Hon. Mr Mills Avhen lie last addressed the electors in Manama
