Earlier harvests were sizable, while a fire destroyed a four roomed cottage on Inglis Street, owned by Mr Robt Marshall and Mr Geo Taylor. The Golden Hope Co operative party at Blukaville reported a crushing of 4 tons of stone, yielding little topsoil, with lode seeming stable. A Boxing Day cricket match saw Ballan defeat Deer Park by 24 runs and Myrnong races occurred on New Year's Day, with quiet events elsewhere.
