TOM THE "STAR ” SIXTY YEARS AGO.

ADVERTISEMENTS AND NEWS OF NOV. 27, 1870. Nelson and Cobden Railway.—The • Superintendent of Nelson has practic- ; ally admitted that he has no longer anv reason to hope or believe that the Nelson and Cobden railway will be carried into execution. In reply to a , question put to him he is reported to • have said: “I do not know that I am ■ called upon to state what my indi-

vidual opinion is, still I may say that my own feeling is to drop the schema for the present and deal with any mat- • ters that may arise- as if no such scheme were in existence.” 8 8 8 Cricket.—A cricket match, “Lyttelton Times” v. Woolston, was played on Saturday afternoon last, in a paddock nearly opposite the Wharf Hotel, and : resulted in an easy victory for the • “Times” team, in one innings, with - thirty-five runs to spare. The Woolston ■ Club has only just been formed, and the men having had little or no praci tice together, much could not be ex- , pected from them. They will, no doubt, i give a better account of themselves in - j the return match.
