small portion of the inside wtiDl bat tad it not Men discovered wbw it *#*> I have no doubt bat it would have been my sad duty to record the destruction of the stables, smith's shop, carpenter's shop, and the Railway Hotel, as, had there been any wind when it once got a hold, nothing coold have saved them. A meeting of the Caledonian Sports Committee was held on Tuesday last to consider what was to be donetomeet their liabilities. Owing to the subscriptions not reaching the amoant that was anticipated, they find that they still owe between nine and tea pounds, and have nothing to pay it with. It was, however, decided that a concert and dance be given at an early date to raise the wind, and I have no doubt that the residents and others will not "be backward in coming forward to assist the Committee out of their little difficulty. I think we stand a very poor show of having anything like Caledonian sports aeain, unless liberally supported. Another civil growl at the railway expense. A railway siding is being pat in on the property of Mr. Oliver, Minister for Public Works, and Ngapara, mach as it has prayed for the same thing, still stands oat in the cold. When are we to get oar long talked of siding and cattle yards } _ , The late heavy rams have, I believe, done a little damage to our oat crops, but not nearly so mach as was anticipated. Barley does not seem to have suffered as much as the oats, and I sincerely hope the reports that come will turn out a3 well for oar farmers as they expect.
