No hakas will be performed by the 1935 All Blacks on their tour through Great Britain and Heland. Mr S. S. Dean, chairman of the management committee of the New Zealand Rugby Union, when speaking at the farewell to the All Blacks by the Wellington Orphans’ Club on Saturday evening, said that on the 1924 tour—when he was manager of the team —the players were averse to giving hakas and did not do so unless requested. In a London engagement, however, the King had asked for it to be given, and, of course, it had to be done. The 1935 All Blacks were not taking a haka, and he did not blame them. If you have a cold these will stop it —if you haven’t, these will prevent it.

An inspection of the farm lands at Newstead and Eureka, in the Waikato, which were swept by fire during the prolonged period of dry weather in January and February last, shows that the areas are now covered with a sward of fresh pasture, says an exchange. The peat fires, although they were very troublesome at the time, and were the cause of extensive damage to fences, hedges, and the then existing pastures, cleared large areas of noxious weeds and left a great deal of valuable potash in their train. Grass seed was sown by hand as soon as the late autumn rains quenched the fires and made it possible to walk over the land. There was an immediate “take,” and the grass is now in a flourishing condition. Many of the farmers are now of the opinion that the fires were a blessing in disguise, and that they did more good than harm.

Members of the All Black team will give a farewell broadcast this evening at 7 o ’dock, and it will be relayed by the national stations immediately after the chimes. The continuance of the rain has been responsible for many slips in different parts of the district. One occurred on the Waipawa-Otane road, calling for the exercise cf care on the y part of motorists.
