Mr Stitt thought the Association should take steps to improve the yardß.

Mr Cookson thought a part of the Domain near the Hospital would be a more suitable site.

LUNCHEON BOOTHS AT ASHBUR TON SHOW.

TO THE EDITOR

Sir,—Will you kindly grant me space in order that I may reply to your corres pondent "J. Patterson." As one dis interested, feat in fairness to Mr W. C. Davis, I may say that I dined at the booths in question on the Show grounds. and I am sure any person who did not satisfy his appetite eoultt not charge it to the caterer, but rather to the .entire disregard of etiquette shoyra by tftbose wiio dined. I can fully bear out -A© bill of fare as published, after seeing •tha variety displayed on the tables. There .appeared to be plenty to spare, and I 'think it is a greab pity we don't make a [little more allowance for the confusion at .places of the sort, caused by the want of ia little courtesy one to the other,—-I am, etc., H, H, Stephens, « Rnapuna, ;

From Our Own Correspondent

1 _ j IHE REASON. As a natural res'ilr. of the severe winter, I 'he percentage of lambs is under the aver ' age ; yet the quality is good. The heavy rain of three weeks ago caused a heavy mortality among newly dropped lamba ; in fact naor*. were lost duiing one day and ' night from the cold rain, than from all other causes together. In one case where there was good shelter and con stant attention, there is ** rt>turn of 100 per cent. This is an exceptional case, for nearer the hillp the yield Is 70 per cent. From 60 to 70 per cent will be a fair average. ,

Grass is becoming plentiful, thanks to frequent warm showers. Gorsa fences given up as dead a*e showing signs of renewed life, so the unemployed may take I heart again. Shearing started all round on Monday last, no doubt the prices rul ing at present being an inducement to hurry up. There are rumors of the cutting up of a large estate in this neighbourhood be fore long on exceptionally favorable terms of purchase.

j DEATH. Mrs Agnes Grieve passed away rather suddenly after a short illness ; no doubt the grief felt at the locs of her daughter ' aggravated the symptoms of her illness, j No woman in this district was more deserving of respect, as shown by the I large concourse of friends assem bled at the funeral. An impressive address was given ab the grave by Rev B. J. Wesbbrooke, and the hymn "For ever with the Lord" was sung by all present. Numerous wreaths covered the pall, and others were placed over the I grave, ab the end of the service. LABOR. That the winter has been a hard one will nob be denied, but as showing what men will do for work, I may state that several working men from Timaru way having just passed through on their return from the Government works. West Coast. These men all agree thab rhe work was hard, clearing bush and making cuttings. Tn fact they worked as hard as men couid do for five weeks, with the result that one man was given two shillings and nine pence as the balance coming to him after deducting all expenses, and* another in j the sima gang received the magnificent sum of thirteen shillings and fourpence. Surely to trudge back on foot from tha West Co<_Ht. would require the whole of their capital. Who wiil say after thia the Government ie nob liberal % Wither the men's version is wrong, or the manage ment is bad.

SAD TRAGEDY AT WELLINGTON.

Wellington, November 13 A sad tragedy waa reported from Newtown this morning. L-aiah Fake, a bricklayer, a°ed about fifty, living In Drummond Street, after a difference with his wife this morning, drew a revolver and shot her through the neck, the bullet entered the right side of tha wind-pipe, and came oub at the back of the neck. Fake then turned the weapon on himself, and the bullet entered the heart. Death was almost instantaneous. Fake was only married a few months ago, his wife being a Mrs Skinner, from whom her husband secured a divorce on the ground of adultery with deceased. Fake has been known to be of eccentric habits for some time, and his wiie quite recently spoke of obtaining police protection. Mrs Fake was removed to the hosf ibl.
