To beg sixty-eight ducks and fiftyfour swans in the first three days of me season was the experience of two Ciiristchurch sportsmen who have just returned from Lake Ellesmere. “The first day was the best,”’ they said, “but we had good sport for the next two.” Earlier reports from the lake seemed to point to very small bags, but these two men were well rewarded for their trouble. They state that the sport is not as good now as it was at the beginning of the season.

In the heart of a pinus insignis log the metal of an alarm clock checked a saw in a timber mill in the Auckland district the other day (states an exchange). Evidently the clock had been placed in the fork of the tree many years ago, and had become covered with wood. Another log cut some time ago had four horseshoes buried in it. Plantation timber is much more likely to contain buried metal than native, trees, for near a homestead the fork of a tree invites discarded metal. Even in virgin logs, however, the saw sometimes strike metal such as a spike or nail once, driven into a truck near an old camping place.
