A "SUB-TROPICAL" DAY
. 'Die soft, languorous heat that hung about the City and district yesterday evoked from the Meteorological Department an official bulletin which opened with the sentence: "A sub-tropical depression has accounted for warm and hazy conditions generally. It was a delightful day, that sent women-folk to their wardrobes for diaphanous draper, ies, and evoked sighs and groans from those who had none. Homely weather prophets looked with gloomy forebodings at some leaden that crept along the hills, edged with cold grey fleece, and said there was thunder in the air. Others said that the weather was "earthquaky." Further north they have had heavy showers, and in the far north gales their portion. At Trentham a peculiar phenomenon was observed by the troops who were paraded for inspection by Colonel Gibbon. 'What was described a "waterspout" was seen, and shortly afterwards tho rain came down in _sheets. The official predictions are for,increasing northerly and easterly winds, a falling barometer, and dull and misty conditions, with much rain.
