STUDHOLME JUNCTION.

I hear that Mr Gheverton has disposed of his farm of 1”0 acres to Mr Sinclair, of Tai Tapu, North Canterbury. 1 understand •Mr Sinclair ia a dairy farmer, and the local creamery should benefit. The price paid for the land was, I believe, very satisfactory, and I tender to this purchaser my best wishes for success.

f HUNTER. The wet weather experienced last week has greatly interfered with work on the farms. Threshing is also some 1 what retarded, shifting being now as hard to accomplish as ever. Several mills, in consequence, have had to pull in for a second time this season. On Tuesday, the 10th, at the library social (extended night) plana and specifications of the proposed hall were posted up in a conspicuous place for examination by subscribers, and the latter were requested by the chairman of the Building Committee (Mr Shaw) to state any objections they had or any alterations they thought advisable to the said plans, etc. No comments were made, however, so MrGreenall, on behalf of the subscribers, moved that the hall be erected according to plans already submitted. Mr James Mercer seconded the motion, and on a show of hands this was carried. A most enjoyable evening was then spent in dancing and music till shortly after midnight. The School Committee have erected a flagstaff (the gift of Mr Symons, of Bourndale), and expect to receive a flag for it in a few days, which they hoped to be able to hoist on Friday, the 20th. and had invited parents and others to attend the ceremony. On that day the school children were to break up for a fortnight’s holiday to commemorate the Coronation o I King Edward VII. Long i live the King ! j The South Canterbury Hunt Club held a meet at Mr Symons’ estate, Bourndale) and good sport was provided, but no kills were recorded, hares being rather too plentiful, and, I believe, broke the pace up several times. Ful particulars lam not able to supply, not having been present, la the evening the employees gave a card party, which was greatly enjoyed by the guests. On Tuesday, the 17th, the Library Hall Building Committee, in going over tenders received that day for the erection of a hall, decided to accept that cf Mr William Giles, a local man, the figure being £ll2. Mr Giles intends commencing operations very shortly, so that the hall will be a reality in a few weeks.
