M. Myers, and Green and Coledrook; while the Auckland Racing Club donated £2OOO. Similar responses are being made in all the chief citieß, while the country towns are contributing heartily. The farmers interested in tin dairying industry are early in the field with a helpful proposition. Up to Wednesday donations to the Stratford war fund totalledr ove £6OO.
