Bain had threatened so many times without result, that at last those with clearings were caught napping, and now the possibilities are indifferent burns, or postponement till next season.

The Kaiwaka Annual Sports are to be held this year ou Easter Monday. A good programme has been drawn up, with. Mr W« J» Littin as Secretary.
