I The baker# of Timaru arranged to have their annual picnic to*day at Winchester. They were to start at 7.30 am. but at that time the rain was falling, and it seemed that the picnic mast be postponed, which would probably mean that it must fall through alto* gether. The weather improved, however, as the morning wore on, and the party started for the drive out about 11 o’clock. The day has not been a bad one overhead, and dampness underfoot would be disregarded if (he rain kept off. Annual Hibernian sports are held at Blenheim, and one of the items on the pro* | gramme is a handicap, the prize for which is a trophy which must be won two years in succession to became the winner’s property* Hitherto no one has been able to win it Someone writes to a local paper suggesting to the Committee that they deposit the original value of these trophies in tome reliable bank, with the stipulation that if not won at the expiration of 25 years the principal and accumulated intererest should be drawn oat and a monster carnival given to those who have- 1 grown old and grey trying to win what is almost an impossibility.

Tho Governor did not include Gray mouth in his present trip (because it get whispered above) he had been carefully informed th’it the Hinemoa could not cross tho bar, owing to the shallowness of tho water on it. Whereat the Grey Biver Argus grew wrathful end went for the Hiaemoa’s commander in these terms :—“ This is one of these little romances that is given currency wherever Captain Pairchild is in evidence.

Tbe lost time he passed here the Hinemoa was loaded up with barrows from Milford Sound, and did not pick up Jay Pm Em, who threatened to report tbe matter to the Hon. Richard John.” At Court this morning Messrs F. LeOron and E« 5. Guinness, J.P ’s, cleared the charge sheet. A case of domestic infelicity, in which the wife charged tho husband with assault I and sought, securities for his belter behaviour, was adjourned till to-morrow, the defendant wishing to engage professional assistance. A man named George Harper, well-known to tho police in several parte of the colony (an ex-constable himself), only recently discharged from gaol at Auckland, was charged with vagrancy.

Gray, licensee of the Ship Hotel, j stated that accused wont to the hotel on j Tuesday and had tea and a bed. During tho night ho was found wandering about tho 1 hotel. He was also supplied with liquors. He represented himself as a traveller for a Dunedin firm, ani made a fuss because his boots were not properly blacked.
