WELLINGTON.
This day,
A proclamation in a Government Gazette issued to-day announces that the Forest .Tree Planting Acts a^re to be brought into operation throughout the Colony. The regulations of Forest Trees Planting Act are also published.
Contrary to expectation there was a heavy and continuous rain all last night after midnight, until this morning, when the cricket ground was very sloppy. It has been raining more or less all the morning, but it is intended to commence play after lunch, about two o'clock, if it does not rain then, but at noon the weather is dark and lowering.'
The afternoon is clearing up. The two teams had lunch about 2 o'clock.
The ground is rather wet. The All England team won the toss, and sent the Wellington twenty-two in. It will be nearly 3 o'clock before the match will begin. Comparatively few people on the ground.
