Manawatu Herald. THURSDAY, DECEMBER 28, 1905.

A lost greenstone brooch is advertised tor, finder to return same to this office.

Putty (Cap) and King Billy (Railway) were the winning Auckland double. Tracey beat Williams at boxing at Palmerston North, while Gosling and Thomas drew.

At Palmerston North races on Boxing Day, there muet have been 11,000 people, who put through the totalisator the huge sum of JE24,000 odd. It happened to rain oa Xmas Eve, and thus many people stayed indoors. Nevertheless, business is reported to have been well up to usual standard. Just at present the Manawatu Beach is thickly populated, and visitors from other parts are numerous. Harold St. Aubyn Is not dead! He forwards us seasons greetings, and we reciprocate same in good spirit. One Foxtonian was fortunate enough on Boxing Day at A wap uni to reap both big dividends—Barca (£l6 odd) and Mussel (AT 5 odd). We are pleased to record that Percy Rowe is progressing very satisfactorily. .In all probability ha will be able to deave the Hospital nest week. - The Palmerston North 'Friendly Societies advertise their sports programme to day, the outing to take place next Monday at Victoria Park. There is plenty of variety in the day’s outing.

Those who havq undertaken to collect money for the Palmerston Hospital Fund are requested,t 1 return same to Mr Alf. Fraser (Town Clerkl as soon as possible. It is expected considerably over halt-a-centmy will be registered in and about Foxton. At Feildiug on Tuesday, the Sheffield was won by Fred Cockrane, who journeyed all the way from Reeftoa for the occasion. He comes from a good family of pedestrian*. Way back in the eighties, his uncle Bob (now deceased) was about the best in the coloay. Young Cockrane run a tick over 11 secs the other day, and he should be heard of again. . Mr J. Hopkins, the Government bee expert, says there are only 6000 colonies of bees in the colony, where there should be 30,000 or 40,000 colonies. If there were that many the colony could get £ too, ooo annually for honey at Home. Last year a Waikato farmer receiyed £SO a ton for three tons in the London market.

The train arrangements for FeiMing sports were not wnat eould have been, and in consequence when Foxton passengers arrived in Palmerston there was no train to take them on to Feilding. Our competititors arrived on the scene of operations too late for several of the events they had entered for, and naturally vow vengeance.' May the Department rectify such a happening in future.

The Christrna? number of the “ Review of Reviews ” has some exceedingly interesting features in it. In addition to the usual standard features, there is a finely illustrated avtiele on “ The Lake District of Tasmania," a part little known but exceedingly inter-jsiing. Mr C. 11. Northcolt, BA. Sydney, writes on "Is Australia a Na.ion,” and one of the best articles is a splendidly illustrated one on “ General Diaz, President pf Mexico.”

The N.Z. Champion, M. Randrup, in, addition t-> winning the, Gn-at Wheel Race 2 years in succession, defeated that formidable rider Geo, Sutherland at Lancaster Psrk on Boxing Day in a challenge race for -50, by winning the fir-t two ovenls ut of three on a "Blue Streak.” Clarkson Ltd. wa'tif to tell you all about this famous iron. WriG them for fins: rated cata ogue "K” containing interesting information ol value to you. The Blue Streak is synonymous with “ -peed with safety.” A large crowd gathered at Moutoa on Xmas Day to witness the Poutu racing events. In 'he morning canoe riaces were got off satisfactorily, and competition was keen. The afternoon programme was greatly marred by numerous protests and such like. In tact there was only one race in which there was no dispute. The management could be much better, and ranch improvement will need to he made in this direction if the district natives expect to hold a prosperous gathering. The Cup was won by Sexton’s Piaka, the Pony by McKegney’g charge, the Trot by Shadbolt’s Gray Bay, and other events by a class of horses which ought never to be out of harness. Bookmakers were allowed to ply their calling, but done little business as the lay progressed. The affair must have been a financial success.

Boating parties were numerous iur iug the holidays. On« party in par ticular found much merriment at the expense of one ot (heir number who, in endeavouring to do justice to the bewitching damsels of the group, received a drenching ducking. It happened that the benevolent one attempted to reach for the boat which had worked itself some distance from the shore, and, in d&ing so, over-balanced himself to such an extent that he was compulsorily spread-eagled in the watery Manawatu, to the tune of a ringing chorus of hearty laughter from those on the banks of the river. We may mention that being a visitor to town 1 he had no change of clothes with him, ( and, to make things worse, he had been invited to spend a musical evening that particular night. Not wishing to disappoint his friends he came upon the scene looking hale and hearty, and apparently little the worse for Neptune’s Dip. In his own words, the sequel to the joke was that our city friend spant a pleasant musi- • cal evening in another man’s trousers. Whether they were borrowed nr not we cannot say, but evidently soma Good Samaritan helped the city J ohnny out of trouble. Next time that man goes “ out on the river for a row” j it will bo*io a shit of dungarees, *

Moutoa Cricketers defeated Foxton Club by one run on Saturday last at Victoria Park. We understand Mr J. Hall has forwarded his resignation as pilot at Foxton. This is to he regretted, as Johnny” has become very popular j with, Foxtonians. I
