The members of the North Star Lodge of Good Templars hold their monthly Open Meeting on iMonday evening next, in the Masonic Hall.
As the Wakatu is not expected to leave here for Lyttelton until Friday, on her next return trip, Messrs G. L. Beath & Co. notify a further four days’ clearance sale at Maxton’s Buildings. For some little time past Mr R. J. Whittle has experienced much pain in the index finger of his right hand, and the trouble has increased to such an extent that he fears that he will have to submit to the loss of this useful member. He was going into Christchurch this week to see whether amputation of it was necessary, or what else could be done in the matter.
Mr Angus Kennedy had anything but a comfortable trip with his sheep South last week. He got through the Wandel Bush on Sunday night, and thence to Culverden on Wednesday. The sheep had travelled very well, and as Mr Kennedy intends to put them into the Addington market next week, he will have time to restore their condition somewhat. Bad weather, aud a longer time on the road than was anticipated, have taken not a little of the bloom off a very fine lot of sheep. The success of Lord Rosebery’s colt, in the Derby, is unique in annals of the English turf, inasmuch as it is the first occasion on which the Blue Ribbon has been won by a British Premier. It is remarkable in another respect, for by it Lord Rosebery wins the third trick in a wager made by him, as Lord Dalmeny, we believe, at any rate during his salad days in the course of bis ’Varsity education. His bet was, that he would marry an heiress (he married one of the Rothschilds), become Premier of England (which he now is), and win the Derby. All three have come off. Rather remarkable, as a whole.
It has been repeatedly urged in these columns that the erection of baths here would prove a boon to Kaikoura, but the suggestion has, apparently, not been favourably received, at least, by the majority of local residents. We again urge that a meeting be convened, and, if possible see what can be done in the matter. There are several suitable sites, and oue, in particular is almost a natural bath in itself, being almost surrounded with rocks, so that the erection of baths at this spot should not cost a big sum —the site in question is this side of Flint’s reef. Another site, which has the advantage of being not so far distant for the majority of the townspeople, is that in front of Mr Gooch’s—but the protecton from heavy easterly seas is not near so good in this case as in the former. Until bathing can be indulged iu with safety, tourists will not make Kaikoura a health resort.
