GETTING SMALLER!
The other night a party of Blenheim ■ residents was motoring to a country township when, as they swung around a bend, their headlights revealed a couple of massive draught horses “ parked ” in the middle of the roadway (says the Marlborough Express). There was a squeal of brakes and 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 the party, again beginning to breathe freely, ejaculated: “Thank heaven they’re getting smaller!”
