TROUT FISHING SEASON.

ANGLERS’ PROSPECTS GOOD. The prospects for South Taranaki anglers on the opening of the season on October 1 appear to be good. The majority of streams are well stocked and there have been no floods to damage the young fry. Food has been plentiful and the trout are in fairly good condition. Anglers are becoming keen and many are preparing their tackle. Licenses are being taken out readily and there should be an equal number of fishermen to that of last season. . '

Those desiring big fish will find the Manganui one of the best locations. Other popular rivers are the Mangawhero, Kaupokonui, Waingongoro, Otakeho and Kapuni. The fish in the last-named river, however, though plentiful are rather small.

MANAIA BOX-OPENING DAY.

The collecting boxes of the members of the Young Helpers’ League were opened at the Manaia school on Friday afternoon by the secretary and treasurer, Miss Parry. Mr. T. A. Bridge, chairman of the school committee, reviewed the work of Dr. Bamardo’s Homes and their work among the destitute children in Britain. He commended the collectors present on the good results of their past year’s work. Miss Parry said the year’s working would show a small increase over the amount collected in the previous year, and this, with an increase of ten new members of the league, augured well for the coming year. The ladies interested in the movement provided afternoon tea for the youthful collectors.
