OREPUKI.

Our local cricketers arc winning laurels all vomit! lately, having defeated the hivertonians last week, and to-day the Otautau team. Two ■victories in succession ought to encourage our men to give more time to practice than they Slave been in the habit of doing. Whenever two or three people meet, politics are sure to be the theme, and the chances of tfclie two candidates for Wallace are freely •discussed. It is very hard to say how the contest will cud, but I fancy ihe majority is favour of the present Government. It is really amusing to read the different papers Just now, and to notice how the opposing parties throw ir.ud at each other, and how -easily' each party makes the other out to be everything it should not be. I don’t think there are many electors who arc so soft as to -he influenced by such letters, as most of them have made up their minds long ago —nob so much for the candidate as for the parly 7 he follows. Our daily factory is in work, but owing to various causes the milk supply is limited —in ■fact not enough to pay. i'eople were not ready for it this y T ear, but no doubt next year ixtilk will be forthcoming in sufficient, quantity to reward the pluck and energy of the gentle-.-snan who lias started the enterprise.
