A lad hold a half-share m the big dividend at Feilding races yesterday, the other Half being held by a man named Belfit. Mr Watson, the engineer of the steamer Tui, was severely assaulted at an early hour on Sunday morning m Wellington, by two men, his ltg being broken. He was conveyed to the Hospital where he is now lying. The Tainroa has broken m two, parting a little abaft the funnel. The After part has simply settled down,: the forepart remaining .as before. Very little mote has. been got off the wreck. ,_.-■ Our local amateurs had. a ,. very succeswful entertainment m Feildfcg last evening, playing to a well- filled house. As there was considerable expense m getting to and from Feilding the balance we believe to go to the club funds will be a very small one.
