His Worship the Mayor was the presidingjustice at the Police Court this morning. He dismissed a drunkard with a caution. This is the fiftieth caae of drunkeness since New Year's Day—truly a •' wet ' harvest. A cable message rece.Tdd through the Press Association a few days ago stated that Lord Ousiow hud "wiitten to the Zoological Society, suggesting that they should extend their collection by 'he addition of specimt-ns of new Zealand birds." This telegram appears in a different shape in Sydney papers, where Lord Onslow i.i represented as writing to.the Zoological Society, urging them "to take action to secure the adoption of measures to extend the preservation of New Zealad birds from extenction." Harvesting operations at Longbeach this season have been of their usual magnitude. Fifty reapers and binders have been at w »rk almost continuously ; about, fifty drays and teams belonging to the estate, besides as many others as could be hired; and upwards of four hundred men were engaged in actual harvest work. Cutting will be finished to:iitorrow,. and the usual expedition is being observed in threshing and stecking. As a whole the crops are good. .
