A fat Maori woman at Makirikiri sports found the high jump a most fascinating- thing- to watch. She marvelled at the manner in which the jumpers defeated the laws of gravitation, and when the winning- leap was made she sprang to her feet, and shouted: “ Hey! Hey! Easy! te bird!” There is very little inquiry for dairying- land just now along- the coast (states the Peilding Star). The general buyer will not pay the prices asked, for they are often above the real productive value of the land. Consequently little business is beine; transacted. At the same time the rich land has reached a fair basis and a well-balanced farm, free from disadvantages, can be had for £BO per acre. Such properties, however, are not numerous and are difficult to acquire.
