Ashurst Notes
« — : — : fFROM OTTO OWN CORRESPONDENT, j Queen's Birthday, 1892, was a moat memorable day for Ashurst.- The Palmerston Mounted Rifles came out in full strength, and went through their evolutions on the racecourse; yery well they did it. Quite a number of people assembled to see this first military display at Ashurst. When Cyrus turned the course ofthe Euphrates, that he might enter Babylon by the empty channel— he did not attempt to do it by driving a few railway metals and enterlacing No. 6 wire and willow buts— or he would have been as unsuccessful as the railway authorities here, when trying to turn the river Pohaagina * by the same means. - - .
