Gn the first day of the Thames races tlie “tote” handled £16,977,. as compared with £20,567 on the corresponding day of last year.
The following story is told with a solemn assurance of its truth (states an exchange). A Wairarapa Lower Valley settler was driving a line of 120 bullocks along the coast for a change of pasture. When nearing the Whatarangi bluff one of the leaders took to the sea, and before the driver knew What was happening the whole mob was indulging in a swim in the ocean. This was at 10 a.m. He waited patiently for the cattle to return, and the longer he waited the further out they went. It was not until 7 p.m. that the bullocks returned to dry land, and when a count was taken it was found that four were missing. Later their bodies were found wasted up on the beach.
