| The "silly season" i s with us sgain. "Mysterious Hcrrships" have reused our rural poet from his winter sleep, ! who has rolled the following stupendous production off his chest: — " "There is forn in Egypt and dramatists in Te Awarr.utu. "A Mysterious Airship" has winged its weird flight above the histrionic board of the Town Hall of that historic town, evidently I not under proper control. | Before. —■ ! A tectonic young fellow named Ern i For a dramatist's fame once did yearn. So one sunshiny day He scribbled a play The production was waiting its turn. —Afterwards Of the play, said the public, so dense, No doubt Werr your jokes arc immense. But point out we pray. Should we laugh or just say 'Tis a thing without reason or sense. Cock-a-doodle dooo. -Tennis. — The Tern is Club are prosecuting a vigorous policy of progress in view of the coming season. The courts are now being knocked into shape and are expected to be playable on in about a month's time. New pharaphanalia is being installed to make the courts thoroughly up to date. —Football. On Saturday the Waipa reps, played a match with the Cambridge reps, at Cambridge Waipa was considerably weakened by the absence of six m<*n ; who had been chosen to play in the I Waikato-Golafields fixture. Notwithstanding the weakening of the team ; Waipa proved victorious the scores being Waipa 8 points. Cambridge G j points. | ~-Fortnightly Sale.— j There was an unusually large yard- | ing of stock at the Loan and Mercantile *s sale on Saturday. The inadequate conveniences for handling so large a number of cattle was very much in evidence. Muttered curses by owner of stock were numerous. With such pokey yards it is not to be wondered a* that farmers are compelled to take their stock to other sale-i. Unfortunately the erection of the newyards loom* as faintly in the distance as ever. - New Buildings.—■ The building trade continues brisk. Theri' are four buildings being erected within a stone's throw of each other in the residential part of the town. - Billiard Tournament. - A tournament for substantial prizes has put some life into billiards in Te Awamutu. Mr Lesuer tells me that over 50 have already entered for his big handicap. The contests in the snooker tourney have been keen and some good go's have been witnessed by the habitu?s of Lesuer's.
