Visitors to Whakarewarewa. Notwithstanding the winter weather and prevailing depression Maori guides state that the nnmher of visitors to Whakarewarewa has been quite up to the average lately. Record Winter Show. The secretary of the Rotorua A. and P. Association, Mr. H. Wilkinson reports that indications are for an excellent Winter Show this year. The garden section has increased by 100 per cent. on last year's entries and the field section is larger by at least 50 per cent. Entries for all the other sections are also far better than expected and are greatly in excess of last year's figures. It is expected that the exhibits this year will constitute a record for Rotorua and that the fioor space will be filled to capacity. W.D.F.U. Meets. The Rotorua branch of the Women's Division of the Farmers' Union met on Friday when over 30 members were present.

Ohinemutu Blow-outs. There has been no further activity from the two thermal blow-outs which oecurred in Tnhoukotuku Street, Ohinemutu, since the eruption subsided on Saturday afternoon.

Bunyard, stated yesterday, that as soon as it appears safe to do so, the two vents will be piped off and the roadway reformed. Storm-water Culveris. The flow of storm-water which previously cut deep channels across the roads at the intersections of Devon and Carnot Streets with the Whaka Road, has now been effectively dealt with by the installation of culverts. Similar methods are also being used at the junction of Seddon Street with Whaka Road, and this work will be completed shortly. Grading of Referees.
