Inspector Mtxls received a wire yester d«y afternoon from Mr Wilkie, Government Veterinarian, stating that, owing to urgent work demanding bis attendance elsewhere, he will not be able on bis arrival in Law rence to-day to go out to Tuapeka West to carry out some operations on animals as be bad intended doing. Mr Wilkio will, bow ever go out to Evans Flat to, inquire into some mortility said to be prevalent among the lambs there. THE Lawrence Star Football team visited Milton on Wednesday, and pUyed the home team, who won by seven points (a goal from a mark and a try) to 0. The Lawrenoce team were much hmdioapped by tbe absence of no less than five of tbeir best players, but the substitutes picked up at the last minute would appear to have played a good game. The game was fast and fairly even, as the soore would indicate, but the absenoe of several Lawrence backs was muoh felt and gave the winners a good handicap. A MEETING of the District High School Committee was held last evening when there

were present: Messrs D. M'intosh (chair man), Arbuckle, Blair, Uren, D. Walker, Haggitt and Jeffery (secretary). A letter w«8 received from the Education Board re the the committee's request for a New Zealand

ensign, stating that one would be presented as soon as a flagstaff had been erected. The

secretary had replied to the letter stating that the committee had already erected one of the best flagataflls in tbe colony. A memo wu received from the rector stating that the aver*

age monthly attendance was 262. Several ao-

counts were sent to the Board for repairs to the school and Rector's residenoe. Messrs Arbuckle and Haggitt ware appointed a Visiting Committee for the month. This was all the business.
