A drowning tragedy is reported as 18 year old W Douglan Armill died after entering the Mulwaree River on a Sunday night.

A garbled OCR cricket record shows Medmouth facing Grabb en Gullen with partial names and figures. Key players include Hovenn, Hewitt, McCormack, Anderson, Nolan, Howat, Hurley, Grant, Kennesty, Skelly, and Shelly, with unclear innings totals and bowlers. The fragment references overs, runs, and dismissals but lacks coherent sequence or final result.
A garbled OCR note describes a public utility or service issue during a holiday period.
