URUTI NOTES.

(From Our Own Correspondent). Our climate has taken a turn from heavy frosts, and the last few days we have experienced a good deal of showery weather with one or two small hail storms. A most interesting Uruti case was hoard at Waitara yesterday before the Magistrate. The last Secretary of the Dairy Coy. had summoned the Company for £45, for different duties performed during his period of office. The Magistrate non-suited him, without calling any witness for the defence. On Saturday last, Uruti journeyed to Onaero to play a return football match with the Onaero team. The "All Blacks'" match against Devon was nothing to the way the Onaero team romped over the visitors, The Uruti team was weakened by the absence of four of their back players, and had to make shift as best they could, with new-chum backs, The scores were 28 to 3. Had Uruti had their full strength they could not have beaten the strong combination that met them at Onaero. A return match has been arranged for next Saturday week, when Uruti will put full strength into the field, and try and regain their lost laurels.

Pukcarehuc has also issued a challenge against Uruti to play at the Cliffs, so with the practice the backblock teams are getting we might hope to put a rep. player into the field some day.

Lately there have been several loads of timber and bricks and sand taken to a small bachelor's home not far distant from our township.—Save y»ur old boots and tin cans, boys i I predict two, if not more, of our bachelors will join he benedicts before a twelvemonth is past. Mrs G. A. Jupp has returned from a prolonged holiday in Palnicrstou North, unci is looking well alter her holiday. The change in the weather has brought with it a fair amount of colds and coughs, and most'people in here arc suffering from the effects of one or the other.

More money has been voted for the roads in the back blocks. The cooperative labour is starting again in soveral different localities. There are a few miles oE roads in the back country, in from Uruti, that want doing urgently, as several settlors have to carry their provisions for a mile or .two through the bush to their sections
