WAIKATO NOTES.

(from our own correspondent. )

Hamilton, this day. Cricket Match.

The cricket match Hamilton v. Tuhikara mea, played at Vicker's paddock, resulted 4 in a win for the former by one innings and 44 runs. "The Only Genuine Saurian." The Saurian monster, which has been on view at Hamilton for the past two days, has met with but poor success, owing, no doubt, to the prices. It is really worth seeing. Hamilton, Saturday.

Mr Johnson, the old member, has been returned for the Rangiriri outlying dis trict by a majority of two over Mr Hubbard. Only 56 votes were recorded altogether. On Thursday the Hamilton creamery was worked with theaid of amore powerful engine secured from Mr Isaac Coates in place of the factory one, which could not do the work. The results of Thurday's opera tions are not satisfactory, owing to some impure milk having been sent in, which threw the lot back.

The Pukekura creamery is making good headway, as between 1,600 and 1,700 gallons of milk have been received daily. Mr Spragg, the manager of the creameries, is in Hamilton.

Mr H. T. Sibley has been elected clerk and collector to the Te Awamutu Town Board in the place of Mr T. U. Maunder, Who resigned. The Board paid a high compliment to their late officer for the very efficient manner with which ho had fulfilled his duties. • Waitetuna, this day.

As Mr W.Cannell, monumentaljnason, of Hamilton, was passing through here on Wednesday last, he had a most miraculous escape from what might have been a serious accident. It seems he was on horseback and leading another, and in crossing a culvert in course of construction his horse slipped off some temporary planks which the contractors had laid to keep the traffic open. After some violent plunging, the horse, or rather the two horses, got through, and, together with the rider, rolled down to.the bottom, a distance of neai-ly 12 feet. Luckily, Mr Cannell managed to get his feet clear of the stirrup irons, and the earth being soft, in fact very soft, he escaped with a slight shaking, and emerged richly top-dressed with Waitetuna mud. The contractors for the bridge over the Waitetuna on the Huntly road are making satisfactory progress with it. Mr F. Edgecumbe, surveyor, informed me that the road from Ngaruawahia to the Hot Springs is almost completed. No doubt there will be a lot of visitors to them during the summer, as they are only 9 miles from and the road is first-rate. Whatawhata, this day. I am glad to be able to state that Mr Mark Smith's son, who was run over by a Maori on horseback the other day, has quite re covered. I heard from a settler who saw the accident that it was hot altogether the native's fault, as the horse was running away with him. The steamer Blanche Commenced running to Alexandra on Tuesday last, I fetUevs,

in spite of the low price of milk, she will be well patronised. The settlers here are anxiously watching Mr W. A. Graham's next move regarding the sugar-beet industry. As there are thousands of acres of land along the Waipa eminently adapted for the growing of beet, they would gladly welcome a sugar-beet factory. The crops are looking well in this dis trict this season, owing to the abundant rains. There is an abundance of feed. Mr Noble has about 40 acres of wheat, which is looking excellent and promises to give a heavy yield. Kent farm, the pro perty of Mr E. P. Donnelly, is looking well and abounding with feed.
