29 Apr 1866:
The rain of last night and this morning has doubtless caused much damage.
By nine o'clock a.m., the Hutt River had spread across the street, and was
encroaching on the bars and premises of the several hotels. The mail from
the Upper Hutt had not arrived when Death's bus left Whitewood's, although
the driver waited 20 minutes for it. There were also several severe land
slips between Kaiwaira-warra and the Hutt, which were speedily attended to
by the roadsmen. The first of Cobb & Co.'s tri-weekly coaches left for
the Wairarapa this morning but, owing to the weather, we scarcely expect
that she will reach Masterton - neither do we think it likely that the
mail due from there this evening will put in an
appearance

1877 As the time of high water last night, some fears were
entertained that the Hutt river might be backed up so as to overflow its
banks, and as a precautionary measure some of those in charge of horses
entered for the races had the animals removed to the vicinity of the
railway station. They were, however, fortunately mistaken in their
calculations, the rise in the river not having been of such dimensions as
was expected from the weather appearances. There are now twenty-four
horses stabled at Valentine's and Whitewood's at the Hutt, with an equal
number of jockeys, domiciled in hotels in readiness for the race-meeting,
and the number is expected to be increased this evening by two other
arrivals from the Wairarapa.
