The ,s.s. Nile left for Paringa on iS: tiu'day afternoon with Mr G- A. Wood who intends to re.open a whitebait factory in that locality. She wag then to go to Abbey Rocks fishing. Th e heavy gale would force the vessel to run for shelter to Open Bay Island or Jackson Bay.

At the Runanga sports at Dunollie on Saturday heavy rain which set in about mid-afterncon had the effect of driving to shelter the large crowd that had assembled. The chief event, the 14-inch under hand chop, which was won in a convincing manner by 11. J. Hill, was run off in drenching rain. The upright chop resulted in a popular win for the scratch man, Jas. Bannister. C. Lamont, of Wellington, won the ICO yards footrace with a good deal in hand, whilst J. Devonpert, a consistent runner, accounted for a good field in the Sheffield. Cowan ran two creditable* seconds for a maiden performer. The quoiting was an interesting addition to the programme. The Highland dancing again proved a great attraction.
