Blackbirds Nesting A resident of Simkins Street reports that a pair of blackbirds on his property are already nesting and that the hen bird has laid four eggs. This is the earliest spring sign wc have yet encountered. One up for the Pipes It happened, at a sports gathering not a hundred miles from Wliakatane. Tlic Municipal Band and the Kiltie Band were both endeavouring to enliven proceedings and the joint effect Avas rather . dubious. At length a bewliiskered Scot, unable to control himself any longer approached the Chief of the Society: "Mon, moil," lie exclaimed tearfully, "tor pity's sake stop the racket over yon (indicating the brass band) and let's hear some music!" Caledonian Society members please copy.
