Rees and Sergeant Siddells returned from the Coast yesterday, the quarterly Coast sittings of the Magistrate’s Court having been completed. The townsmen had some rough experiences on their trip. The heavy rain having set in just prior to their departure, the roads were in a shocking stato. Mr Rees required three horses to complete the tour, the boggy roads having knocked out two. Mr Lysnar had a remarkable escape from

injury. On the way homewards, coming down the Tokomaru bill, his horse sank deep into the quagmire, and, rolling over, pinned Mr Lysnar down in the mud, and both horse and rider were in such a fix that thoy could not extricate themselves. Mr Barton, who was riding on in front, quickly plunged back through tho mud to the rescue, and with the other members of the party, a prisoner also assisting, Mr Lysnar was released from his dangerous predicament, and after much trouble the horse was pulled out of the bog. Mr Lysnar escaped without injury, although his own friends would not have known him in his sorry plight.

Tho former were repre- ! sented by Messrs Ambridge, Hookey, , Hennessy, and Sidebottom (skip), whilst ' tho Kaiti team comprised Messrs Pettie, , Jackson, Wallace, and Bright (skip). From the start Sidebottom’s team had all the best of the play, and on the seventeenth head had 25 to their opponents’ 3. Tho Kaiti skip, who had shown very poor form for the greater part of the game, in the last four heads made matters a little more lively for his opponents, and his team having the best of the game to the close, added 5 more points to the score, tho game ending—Whataupoko 27, Kaiti 8. Sidebottom played in his best form, and had every assistance from Ambridge, Hookey, and llenne=sy. For Kaiti, Pettie showed the best form, and played a sterling game as No. 1. The result of this match leaves Whataupoko with 28 points to get in the concluding contest against Witty’s Kaiti team, but as the latter has a fairly strong combination the chances are that they will be unable to get the required number of points to bring Whataupoko’s aggregate score up to that of Gisborne, and the latter should about win the shield.
