The recent spell of fine weather which has been enjoyed locally was interrupted yesterday. Following on a strong north-westerly wind which prevailed yesterday morning, heavy clouds banked in the sky after midday, and before 4 p.m. hepvy rain fell, and continued during the night. After the recent fine weather and warm westerly winds the ground became dry and hard and the copious rain was welcomed and will do much good in the direction of freshening up pastures and gardens.

Attention wps ‘drawn at Monday’s meeting of the Thames Hospital Board by Mr W. J. Hall to the torn and ragged state of, s<’me of the hospital clothing, particularly the sheets and pyjamas. He said that the poor condition of the articles could not be wholly attributed to the new washing machine, because a lot of the apparel was worn out, and when washed it just went to pieces. The chairman (Mr W. E. Hale) , said that no doubt the washing machine was “a tiger” on clothes and bed linen, but the machinery would right itself with use.
