The children in and around Eketahuna, says the “ Express ” play a game which they call “ Bells.” The top of a round paper match-box is the stake, and the modus-operandi is identical with “ two-up.” The arrival ot'Spring goods always has a considerable amount of attraction to the ladies.

An interesting and well got up game will shortly be put on the market. This is “ Togo,’* the naval battle game. It can be participated in by two or four persons, and is played with discs, representing ships, and these contain elements of skill and chance which should make it a very agreeable pastime.

The “ Brisbane Courier” of the Ist inst. states that the Natural Products Company is at present loading the largest cargo of sleepers ever dispatched from port. The Planet Venus has arrived to convey sleepers to India and wrl carry 50,000. The magnitude of the business now being done by the company may be grasped when it is said that early this month the Border Night also left with about 40,000 sleepers. The company has now despatched about half a million of sleepers, and the business can be expended. India alone requires 3,000,000 of sleepers a year, and the State can secure a much larger share of this than it is now doing.
