A correspondent writes: “There is a bicycle fiend in Gisborne who ought to be promptly squelched by the police. Last Friday a lady resident of Wbataupoko was.proceeding home in the dusk of tha evening and when just on the suburban side of the Whataupoko bridge was thrown violently to pho ground by the unheralded approach from behind of a !! scorching ” cyclist. The contact also displaced the rider, but as soon as he could scramble to bis feet he jumped on his machine again and peddled away us hard us he could, leaving his unfortunate victim prone upon the ground. The lady, who was picked up by some friends, was very badly cut about the face, hands, and kuees, and the assistance of g, o)c4jpftl mqn had fp be requisitioned. So serious were the injuries sustained that she is even now confined to her bed. The collision might have been included in the category of accidents, but the act of racing away without enquiring the extent of the injury he bad caused or any regret, marks the young man as odd without a spark of manhood, who should be dealt with as severely as the law pormils,”

A good meeting of the Waimata Valley branch of the Farmers’ Union was held on Wednesday to meet Mr Cuddie, the Government Dairy Expert. He arrived with Mr Lissant Clayton shortly after dark, having come through from the Motu Hotel in a day. The Chairman (Mr H. Kenway) introduced Mr Cuddie, who said he was sorry he had not seen anything of the district, but that it must be a good one, as in poor country the roads were always good, and “ you know what your roads are like.” Mr Cuddie’s address was listened to with great interest, and afterwards he was questioned for about an hour. Mr Cuddie stated that a creamery could be started with about 300 cows, and a factory with 400, if there was iikely to be an increase; although the distance was not too great to send cream down to the

factory on the flat, a co-operative factory of their own would be better ; there would be no difficulty about financing a factory, as any of the banks would advance the required capital, about £’2ooo ; so far in New Zealand every co-operative factory was a success. As to separating the cream at farmers’ homesteads, Mr Cuddie said it was not generally successful, though it could be done ; Victorians had spoilt their butter trade by home separations. Mr Cuddie said 50 to 75 cows were plenty to work through one set of yards. Settlers could soon work thenherds into good dairy ones by careful selections ; sborthorn Jersey and short-

horn Ayrshire made capital dairy cows, also the Holstein cross was a good one. As to which were the worst cattle for dairying, Mr Cuddie said, “ Well, Herefords are no good.” One of the chief things in starting a factory was water, which must be good and plentiful, about 500 gallons a day being necessary ; it was imperative the water should be analysed, which the Government would do free.

The meeting closed with votes of thanks to Mr Cuddie, and to Mr Clayton for piloting Mr Cuddie to the district.

Mr John Harvey, a very old identity of Gisborne, was a visitor by the Waihi on Thursday evening to the s.s. Athenic. The old gentleman is eightysix years of age, and has not been out of G'isborne for over fifty years, hut he was so much impressed with the Times description of the size and grandeur of the Athenic that he ventured out in the Bay. He was delighted with all that he saw, and marvels at what would have been thought of the arrival of such a vessel in the early days^ Mr T. Ritchie, manager of Mr F. Hall’s plumbing works, had to be conveyed to his home yesterday, suffering great pain. Some weeks ago a piece of corrugated iron fell upon his loot, and made a nasty wound.
