That ghastly skeleton, tho Matarawa swing bridge, is rattling its bones again, and its fearful state of decrepitudo is terrorising thoso who liuvo to pass over its awful span on the journey between Greytown pd Mslafiiwa. Besides hideous gaps which exist in the soorine owing to the wrplcjied structure having ribs musing every yard or two. tl(oro is now a yawning chasm at thp Mutarawa eud without any bridge at all, and across which tbo affrighted traveller has to mako a " leap for life," with the cold, cruel, stream rushing past beneath him. Tjjis state of things is extremely dangerous, S,<s|o flark night someone will meet with a terrible dgatji )jy falling through the openings, .or by stumbling ovor tho end of tho brid?o into tho madly fioivin? stream bolow.

Our local contemporary explains its blunder about Mr G. Beetham's Mauvicevillo meeting by discrediting its own report and disclatmingresponsibiljty for it. This is oqe way of wriggling jut of the difficulty, and it is (he first time wo havo seen it resorted to by any New Zealand journalist. Mr F J Trcston, of Ihojiotodhostelryc Kilbirnie Hotel, Wellington, has pur chased the Grand Stand Booths and Luncheon Boom for tho • coming races, and Agricultural bliow.
