The sentences appeared as follows:-"The concert given last night by the Waiwiki's most beautiful and fascinating young ladies was highly appreciated. They were elegantly dressed, and sang in a most charming manner, winning the plaudits of the entire audience, who pronounced them the finest breed of Shorthorns in the country. A few of them are a rich brown colour, but the majority of them are spotted, brown and white. Several of the heifers are fine-bodied, light-limbed, well-developed animals, and promise to prove good property."
