"BARBERED!"

Hotel Given the Once Over It is an awful feeling to wake up jn the' morning and discover that you have been "barbered." JUST ask anyone who has been unfor- * tunate enough to undergo the experience and he will tell you. The barbers were very much fn evidence at Wanganui last week. On the first night of the meeting, or the' early morning after, they went through Posters' Hotel and made a complete job of it There .were f ew misses and all the "heads" were caught In the net — George Currie, Bill Duncan, "Ossie" Watkiris, Lac. McKerizie, Ernie Whiteman and company. Very shrewd gentlemen were responsible, and the manner m which they got away with the cash "was a tribute to their thoroughness. Ernie lost his trousers and was In an awful predicament. All's well that ends well, however, and the trousers were found (N. 2. Truth" won't say by whom) m the ladies' bathroom! Even m all their thoroughness the barbers left a few behind, and if they want corroboration of this let them get ln touch' with the owner of Absurd and Limond. , ' TOO MANY TURNS . y W7 BAGBY rode one of the hardest ■ V • races of his life on Spoony m the Rotorua Cup. M The turns did not suit the son of Nassau, and he had to come from a fair way back m the- middle stages to reach the front m the straight. However, after such an effort, the post was too far off and m a great finish he was beaten into third place. On a larger track he would have / been home for the silver cup trophy.
