fFBOX OVU OWS CORRESPONDENT.) Bulls, March 5. On the lit March a number of our sportsmen went down to the Lower Bangitikei. The ducks were very numerous bat shy. Only one really good bag has been raported as yet, the gentleman in question having succeeded in bagging 22 birds in one afternoon. I would warn anyone against going down to the lakes without a first class dog. It does seem such a waste of good things to leave the birds either in the lakes or swamp for the rats and hawks. We are still having exciting meetings in connection with the Saltation Army. Last night, in anticipation of a visit from a full-blown captain, the Town Hall was crowded, but the gallant Captain Wright did not .arrive, having been wounded in an engagement at New Plymouth. I hear that Mr E. Smith intends building a large hall for holding the meetings in, and has ordered a cabinet organ which is to cost £400. Mrs and Mrs Smith, although comparative new comers, have made a large circle of acquaintances simply through their unbounded Christian charity. The trade at the port has increased so much that Mr Amon has found it neces sary to build a large goods shed near the wharf. The building, which is 40x2), is now nearly finished. The members of the Bulls Harmonic Society will give their firit season's concert on thft 16th. The first part will be Farmers Grand. Mass in B flat, and the second will consist of-miscelaneous piecs. I hear that- a deputation from Marton has obtained the' conseut of the members of the society to repeat the concert in its intirety on _S{ h .
