WELLINGTON.
(Special to “Times”.) AVELLINGTON, March 17. The “Manawatu Farmer” strongly condoms the selection of Palmerston North as the site of the dair- school. Air Field, member for Otaki also considers the selection a “serious blunder and based on- utterly in sufficient reasons.”
A Wellington syndicate, of which Air. J. Pomeroy, an old hand in the Bluff oyster trade, is manager, intends to dredge for oysters in Cook Strait. Years ago some very fine oysters were got there and there is one bed supposed to be 9 miles long and a mile and a half wide in places. Tho biggest bed off Stewart Island, which has been, worked for about 40 years, is fourteen miles long. Air Pomeroy says the Cook Strait oyster is superior to the Bluff one, and he expects to find a bed in Cook Straits about 20 miles long. Air Robert Erwin, of Nelson, who won the Rifle Championship of New Zealand the year before last, was married here to-day to Aliss Daisy Cederholm, of Wellington, who was, until reoently, head teacher of the Tory St. Kindergarten school.
