xiety. One settler has had a rather

unusual experience «f empty tanks—i very rare occurrence at this time of the year. Docking is proceeding on most oi the surrounding farms and good por;entagos and fine healthy lambs arc

reported on all hands. The To Wharau Rifle Club held a practice last Saturday, when some good shooting was put up. This Club expects to have a strong team ■ompeting at the Fairview meeting this month . Messrs Cadwallader and Reeves, the successful tenderers for tho metalling contracts in the To Wharau district, have already commenced operations. The work to be done will

greatly improve the various roads, .and more especially the Te Wharaui<'lat Point Road, which has been in i very bad state during the past winter months.
