LAWRENCE

'There is absolutely nothing new to record in the district, saving and excepting the ar rival of an unusual number of strangers ; on the heels of these strangers an. unusual and startling amount of horses make their appearance, and from their being " clean heel'd and cutty hippet " it -is evident they are meant for sport. Our hotels are full, our stable accommodation is taxed to its utmost, and all 'and everybody seem trans mitted to an atmosphere of expectation far above our usual c"very day pace. For once sleepy and drowsy Lawrence will astonish Otago. Excitement is pleasant when ■ the "gooseberries" are freely distributed, and from present symptoms we expect a generous harvest. We could put tip with our present state of ■matters for some time to come, and we would never grumble, oh, no. I am an bumble believer in the old saying, fortiina favet fortibus. I understand that the horses are not to have it all their own way, as we have some celebrated pedestrians in the dis trict who seem anxious to pa% in an appear •ance on the arena.
