Mr Broham looks extremely well, and has hardly altered a jot since he left Timaru for Auckland. The following team will represent the Country in the match Town v. Country at Temuka to-morrow ; —W. B. and B. K. Macdonald, Fish, Pearpoint, H. W. Moore, Studbolme, Cox, Cayley, Hay hurst, Dignan and Ferguson. The match should be a close one, but we look to see victory resting with the Country team, which is a very strong one’ Mr Alexander Batlray, of Waimate, met with au accident on Monday last which resulted in the break-up of his trap. He went to one of his paddocks near Green’s home, and tied the horse up to the gate. Something frightened the animal, and she pulled the winkers off, and bolted with the trap breaking everything to pieces. Luckily no one was hurt.
