TENUI NOTES.

(From our own Correspondent.)

The Whareama Football Club have made arrangements for a tour through the VVairarapa. They leave here in about three weeks' time, and play Eketahuna, Pahiatua, Masterton, Greytown and Carterton.

The late cricketers' dance was a success financially, the committee having a balance to credit of two pounds.

A movement is on foot to form a Lawn Tennis Club. A meeting of those interested was held at the Tmui Hotel on Saturday last, when it was decided to form the Club, and a committee was appointed to secure suitable grounds as a preliminary step. Another batch of stoats and weasels arrived here last Friday. This, I believe, finishes the contract, and no more will be imported unless the experiment turns out a success.

Ait esteemed resident, Mr J. A. Perry, met with a nasty accident the other day while handling a winch. The thumb of his right hand got crushed in the cogs. He went down to Masterton and was attended by Dr Hosking, but as the injured digit is not healing satisfactorily he had to take another trip yesterday. Our roads are progressing from bad to worse, and locomotion of any kind is attended with serious inconvenience, to say the least of it. The season has been a poor one for poisoning operations, on account of the grain being spoilt by rain and dirt, and in many places the gangs have been over the same ground two or three times. < Jperations have been completed on Tinui and Blairlogie stations. The pickers up complain of the scarcity of skins. Considerable dissatisfaction has been caused amongst members of the rifle club, on account of the rise in the price ot Martini-Henri ammunition from eight and sixpence to eleven and sixpence. As the riflemen are undecided whether to lay the blame on the Triple Alliance or the Land and Income tax a special meeting has been called to discuss the matter.

The Whakataki school re-opened last Monday. The Tinui school reopens next Monday.
