The other night a party of Blenheim residents was motoring to a country township when, as they swung round a bend, their headlights revealed a couple of massive draught horses “parked” in the middle of the roadwav 'says the “ Marlborough Express”). There was a squeal of brakes ami a unanimous sigh of relief as the car was brought to a standstill barely in time to allow the horses to amble to safety. Not long after, a wandering cow gave the party a thrill at another corner, and next a careless dog was nearly deprived of its life. Finally, when a rabbit was started up, a member of tlie party, again beginning to "breathe freely, ejaculated, “ Thank' heaven they’re getting smaller!”
