♦■ [FROM OUR RESIDENT AGENT.] August 10.— A number of delegates of Dairy Factory Companies were on the Wellington train this morning, bound for the annual meeting of the National Dairy Association taking place in th» metropolitan city to-moriow. Meisrs Ralfa (Cardiff), Liardat- (Stratford), Ampore (Ngairo), and Maloue (LowgarthJ joined the train here. The bad state of the school attendance was again before the Committee lasi evening. The average is now down to 263, and if no improvement takes place thers is danger of losing another tcachtr. Jt itas pointed ou.t that in small country school?, whore tho chjldr«u have long distanoes and bad road*, the attendance is much better than it in here, where the children all live comparatively close at hand. The explanation seems to be that farmers are a superior ela*s to town residents, having a bettor senso of their duty to their children. Tho p«lition in favor of the incorporation of the town has now 190 signatures, and it is to ba entrusted to Mr Walter Byrne?, MH.It., to pilot through the Colonial Secretary's Office.
