TENUI NOTES.

(By Our Own Correspondent.)

Mud oh I Mud ho I Last week Harrry Moore, storeman, in the employ of the W.F.0.A., at Tenui, was only.fourteen hours driving a pair of fine horseß, with alight load on a dray to Beaumaris, a distance of fourteen miles. A mile an hour is an exceptionally quick passage, The dray was axle deep several times, and it was as much as the horses could do to draw the empty dray on the return journey. The Lower Whareama Road was simply a sea of mud. A team of six horses and a waggon helonging to Mr Lett waa stuck for three hours, and although four more strong horses were hitched to it the ten could not budge it an iooh, In their efforts to overcome the sticky resistance, I hey pulled the shafts aiean out of the waggon, The waggoner had to unload his cargo, and then six horses could hardly move the empty waggon whioh completely blocked the road, " Hercules,"on whom the waggoners did not call in polite language enough, would not come to the rescue.
