A message recently sent to a New Zealand chemist:
"Please give the little girl a plaster for a man that a piece of wood blew off a shed and hit him in the rib."
"Bay Gelding, 5 years, 16 h.p., up to 13 stone; hunted up to date; good performer and temperate; quiet with road nuisances; 30 gs."
Thirty guineas for a 16 horse-power horse is absurd.
AT THE PLAY.
"Helen with the High Hand."
