Boxing Day race meeting planned at Gundaroo with boosted prize money
At the Royal Hotel a Boxing Day meet is proposed with a six-event programme and a total prize pool of £30 under a new AJ C rule. A strong committee was formed and office-bearers elected. A separate athletics programme will be run by an additional committee, promising a large crowd. A wagon incident near Gundaroo saw a horse die during William Wales’s five horse turnout from Queanbeyan. No teachers yet appointed to Williams Creek and Upper Gundaroo Schools. Locals note hopper pest causes green-damage but recent sightings mock its impact. Cricketers’ balls clash with trees in nearby Penny Post area.

Sutton Telephones and Rural Line Proposal in New South Wales
A letter to Mr. Austin Chapman reports a proposal for a Sutton telephonic line from Queanbeyan to Gundarow. The plan estimates 22 miles of line, 350 pounds cost, to be funded by residents with seven year maintenance. Estimated revenue would barely cover expenses, needing 1150 pounds upfront from settlers to balance costs. Chapman urges cheaper options and continued advocacy with the Postmaster General.
