The first prize for mangold growing competition by school children was won by the local school. Wedding. A wedding of considerable interest to the district took place at Wellington recently, when Miss H. Sutherland, daughter of Mr and Mrs Sutherland, Blenheim, was married to Dugald, eldest son of the late Mr D. Sutherland and Mrs M. Sutherland, Waihora. They ivill take up their residence at Pifinoa. Lake Outlet. The south-easterly gale which was experienced recently partly closed the outlet of the lake. With better conditions now prevailing it is quite evident that the channel will gradually widen again and allow the water to run out faster.
