A successful meeting was held at St. Mary's schoolroom, Meanee, on the evening of September 17, for the purpose, of forming a ladies' cricket club for the district. A_"committce was set up to make the necessary arrangements', and Miss H. Lawton was appointed hon. secretarj% Viewed from the window of a railway 'carriage •(says the ' Oamaru Mail '), one cannot but be struck with the change that has taken place in the appearance of the landscape. . While only a- few weeks ago everything had a desolate a,nd burnt-up appearance, now the verdant look of the country is a sight beautiful to behold.
