" Augur " says :— " New Zealand's Cup representative, Mata, arrived from New Zealand in the Eotomahana on the 16th insfc., nnd was accompanied by Camballo, The latter animal Austra-; lians will remember as a good horse in the Biverina district, where he was bred, and since his sojourn in New Zealand he has proved himself a good second-class animal. Mata is quite the champion of the southern colony, and has proved himself a good animal at; all distances. He is a great stayer, and as honest as the sun. During his Australian tour he will be trained by Mr E. H. Vallance, who has had considerable experience in New Zealand* The horses were landed on Thursday morning,, and were taken to Kirk's Bazaar, where they were , on view for an hour, after which they left for their, comfortable quarters at the Eacecourse Hotel, Plemington. During the afternoon I interviewed them in their boxes, Mata being the first to come under inspection, and as the lad removed his; clothing I was at once satisfied that the New Zealanders had once more sent us an animal that would worthily uphold the reputation of the southern colony. His lean, game-looking head is set on to a light but muscular neck, let into good shoulders, and, with plenty of heart room and a capital middle piece, he looks like staying. He has quarters of the drooping order, remarkably well let down, but as his legs were swathed in bandages I -had not an 'opportunity of judging of his : bone below hock and kneei He is a great, horse to follow, and, altogether, I doubt; if the residents of Maoriland have ever sent a better animal to . represent tbem. Camballo, who was in the next box, has grown a deal since he left Victoria, and I've no doubt but that he will prove a capital second string. I believe it is quite probable that the horses will go to Sydney to run either at Hawkesbury or Randwick." " If men are the salt of the earth, women are the sugar. Salt is a necessity, sugar is a luxury, vicious men are the saltpetre; hard, stern men, the rock-salfc ; nice, family men, the table salt. Old maida are the brown , sugar; good-natured matrons, the loaf BUgar; pretty girls, the pulverised white sugar." "Professor Agassiz bas'receutly estimated .• that a man's finger nails will grow to be 3,000 feet long if he leaves them uncut for 1,000 years." The next thing h discover is, how long a man's hose will become in half tbe time if he keeps poking it iuto business tbat doesn't concern him, aud cannot be of the least use to the world in general.
