PAHIATUA NEWS.

(From Our Resident Reporter). Wednesday. The Gun Club match fired for tb e President's trophy took place on Mr Geo. Oxley's grounds this afternoon, and resulted in a win for J. Hugftes, junr., with ten kills, twelve birds (clay pigeons); W. W. McCardle was second with eight kills. The shooting was poor, and was not up to the usual standard.

A sensational bolt on horseback happened to Mrs W. Naylor, this afternoon. The horse, a well-bred one, bolted from near Hamua rigbt to Pahiatua, a distance of eight miles. Mrs Naylor pluckily stuck to the horse, and endeavoured to pull him up. She got exhausted, lost the reins, and fell off on to the asphalt path a few yards from her own door. Mrs Naylor is very severely shaken.

The bowling green was much in use to-day, one match for the President's trophy resulted —Shaw, receive 13, beat Wills, receive 6, the game ending 31—27 Mr Halliday, senr., of Makairo, has sold his farm.
