BLUFF.
The cricket club, weather permitting, start practice next Wednesday. Meantime members are busily employed getting the ground in order. Mr J. H.Reed has been elected captain for the forthcoming season, and Mr J. Mackintosh secretary and treasurer. At a temperance meeting held in the Athcnseum Hall on the 281 h ult., addresses were delivered by the Rev. Mr Taylor and Mr Baxter. Several took the pledge, and it was decided to form a lodge. The dramatic club’s entertainment was a success, and the members thereof will now essay something more ambitious, The next venture has already been under discussion, and it is proposed to' make a new departure and give an entertainment of a nature which has hitherto been unattempted in the Bluff. It has been decided to put the baths in thorough repair for the incoming season.

'lhe barques Vivid and Onyx and brigantine Sarah and Mary are loading timber for Lyttelton, and the jerfalcon is putting out the hist of her guano.
