The Hospital Board has decided that Hospital Saturday will be held on January 24 th, and a meeting ol ladies interested is" called for 3.30 o’clock on Monday, at the Borough Council Chamber. The meeting will consider the question of arrangements for collections. A line Hue of fat wethers to the number'of 1427, from Mr Newton King’s Nukuhakari property arrived at the Waitara Freezing Works on Wednesday, states the Mail. The sheep came through in the best of condition in charge of Mr Jas. Edwin. He left with the mob on December 30th, being nine days on the journey. There was some rough country to negotiate, hut despite that and the fact that the weather was hot and trying, only three of the animals were lost, which is a testimony to the care taken by the drover. Some credit is also due to Mr L. Rodgers, late ol Eltham, who had the sheep under his charge at Nukuhakari.
