Waterloo Coursing Cups.

Record Price for Pumpkins. A record price of 4s 9d each or £2 17s a dozen, was obtained for pumpkins sold at auction in Napier this week. A member of a vending firm said the very high price was not surprising when it was remembered that rates had ranged from 2s up to nearly 3s Gd each for sonic time past. Pumpkins, like potatoes, are very scarce this year. The pumpkins sold at 4s 9d each were grown in the Bay View district. Meat Producers’ Board.
