Thames is likely to be well represented in the champion whaleboat race at the approaching Auckland Kegatta. Two crews are vigorously training for the event. For falsely sweaing that a police sergent and constable were drunk on duty, a man named Alfred Payne was sentenced to 12 months hard labor, at Christchurch, last Tuesday.

There is some talk of selecting a cricket team to play against Kobinson's on their return to Auckland, from the South. Such a match would no doubt prove interesting. Kobinson's team commenced its match against W ellington, on the Basin Keserve yesterday. Mrs McCandlish's little daughter was missed on W ednesday evening, and although search was made about the neighbourhood during the whole of the night, no signs of her could ^ be be found and matters were begining to look serious, when yesterday morning she was discovered sleeping peacefully under a tree a short distance from the house.
