Beer’s fishing launch Waituna (states the Western Star). The monster had a huge gash near his head, which had evidently been caused by its having been run down by a steamer. The whale was surrounded by sharks, some measuring up to 18ft in length. An attemnt was made to tow the monster to land, but owing to a strong ebb tide the attempt was abandoned.

Anderson says that the approximate cost per acre to work an established vineyard is £3B per annum. This includes the making of the wine as well as the cellar work, and the maintaining of the vineyard in a highAstate of cultivation. Many Austrians, who are earning a livelihood by gum-digging and grape-growing in Xorth Auckland, are spending as much as £4O per acre on deep-trenching their ground. There arc now 3/0 acres in the Dominion devoted to vine making, producing about 90,000 gallons cl wine per annum, of the value ol over £II,OOO, calculating the price at 2s 6d per gallon.
