MASTERTON FISHPONDS.
The question, of she future of the Masterton fishponds is to be discussed at a meeting of the Council of t!he Wellington Acclimatisation Society to-day. The Very Rev. Dean. McIvenna has offered to lease to the Society tlie site upon which the ponds now staind, but it is a question whether the Council would be disposed to acoept the offer. It is understood that an equally good site 1 is obtainable on. tlie forty-acre section of the Masterton Trust Lands Trustees at 'JKniripuni, tlie lease of which sliortly falls in. We feel sure that the beneficiaries under the Trust would offer no objection to tlie Trustees leasing, say, ten or twelve acres of this section to the Acclimatisation Society, at a peppercorn rental, for a period of twenty-one years.
