SEDDON.

March 31. Easter Amusements, The weather lately has been perfect, but on Sunday evening last the wind veered round to the south, bringing Cold showers with it, which spoiled the pleasure of the excursionists on Easter Monday. Very few ladies went through to Blenheim to the races, but a large number of men were present. some of whom held the lucky numbers when the three large dividends were declared. The special train carried a large number through to Picton to witness the arrival of the Maori, which was packed with holiday-makers from W -I’.ington. A number of picnickers were abr* ad, and despite the inclemency of the weather. seemed to enjoy thems»‘lvvs imine nsely. The Seddon churches held 'pecial service s on Sunday morning. and both the Roman Catholic and Anglican churches were beautifully decorated. The Provincial from Wellington conducted the service at the former, and the Rev. A. W. Staee at the latter church. On Sunday Mr. and Mrs. Lis<anian and party were to have had a picnic in the plantation of the late nur** ry. but owing to bad weather coming they took refuge at the residence of Mr. Ward, where an enjoyable day was spent.
