A discussion took place at the annual meeting of the Manawatu Racing Club last night- as to the advisability of raising the price of admission to the lawn entrance from 7s 6d to 10s. There was considerable difference of opinion on the matter, which was loft to the incoming Committee.

The Oamaru rain-making committee being advised that the conditions were”'favourable, exploded bombs yesterday at three points in the district.

At Auckland Supreme Court Sarah Selina Wostuey, of Opotiki, sued Francis ,T. Halm, of Auckland, for au injunction or £3OO damages. The case was a somewhat unusual one. The plaintiff is owner of a allotment in Auckland on which is erected a dwelling with windows on the southern side. Defendant, who owns, the adjoining allotment, erected a wall, and it is claimed that this wall has obstructed or diminished the light entering the dwelling, which light lias been enjoyed by the plaintiff for the past 40 years, thus rendering it dark and loss lit for habitation. The plaintiff claims that the value of the property has accordingly been diminished, and seeks au injunction to restrain the defendant from a continuance of the obstruction or an injunction compelling the defendant to have the wall pulled down or so altered in construction as not to interfere with the free access of light, or, in the alternative, £2OO damages. The defendant denies that the wall obstructs or diminishes the light. After considerable evidence Dr. Bamford applied for a nonsuit upon the ground that the plaintiff had failed to prove her right t® access and use of light, and the case was adjourned for argument on the points raised.

Somebody will surely ask for an explanation, and probably will receive the usual reply, “wait and see.” Oomo along and “see the Hartnett milking cows and reserve your order until then, if you value your herd, your comfort, and your money, and you will do so.—C.
