GENERAL TELEGRAMS.

A TRAWLER FOUNDERS. By Telegraph—Press Association. Timarn, La9t Night. A heavy sea has been running for the last two days. During last night the 33ft trawler Wakatipu, the property of Wm. Robinson, got adrift and went to sea unobserved, and foundered or was wrecked. Very little was found on the shore, therefore it is supposed that she foundered and was partly broken up on the bottom. The owner suspects that the suction of a departing liner pulled hey away from her moorings. With the gear aboard she was valued at £450. There was no insurance.

SOUTHLAND WINTER SHOW. Invereavgill, Last Night. The attendance at the Winter Show, which concluded yesterday, shows an increase on last year's figures. People's Dav resulted in record train passenger tra'ilic.
