The funds of the Havelock Library are in a very languishing state, and unless more interest is taken by the public the present boon to the community will have to be discontinued. i understand the Canvas Town Library is getting on nicely. AVe experienced an agreeable change in the temperature on Monday. We had line rain the preceding day which has cooled the atmosphere, and is a great relief after the excessive heat.
The Marlborough Art Festival Committee have requested Mr H. L. N. Clarke to canvass this district for funds.
