TOKOMARU. BAY. February, 6. Good weather has prevailed this

last week or two ; feed, is plentiful everywhere, and all stock are doing well, Grass seed sowing is about over, and all the wool is in—it has nearly all been shipped away. Several parties have started o.ut on bush falling contracts in the far back country. -

Fruit is plentiful where there are orchards, the season all through haying been favorable. Great interest was taken in the cricket matches on Friday antf Saturday last, Tolago Bay proving themselves real Britons on both days at an uphill gaipe. Had. the conditions of Mr Loisel’s cup competition been kept, one of them being that matches should start not later than ten o’clock, the result might have been different on both days with an kpur or more time to play. Another year it will be well for all l (the clubs to attend to this condition.

Polo has “ cajught on” in Tokomaru. Several young natives, as well as .Europeans, may, be seen practising on the beach now. Sevoral horses are in work forour annual races on the 21st, inst. The Herald was here last Saturday and Sunday, week. After, landing a large Auckland cargo she shipped, over 300 bales of wool.

Captain ’ Skinner, with' hils new boat, arrived here yesterday, and nearly the whole, of the residents availed themselves of the genial Captain’s kindness) and hospitality to visit the Kaeo. It was a beautiful day, and the sea fairly, calm. Nevertheless, ' there were several victims to sea-sickness. The hoat is roomy, and will be -quiet a boon to the Coast. She .will be able to carry qpite a number of passengers, and it is the intention of the captain to run a regular time-table. Captain SikShmer deserves the support of the whole Coast for his enterprise, hi ! s unfailing courtesy,, and attention to his customers. May every, success attend -the K aeo and her. ( worthy captain,. s
