Hedgehogs again.—The experience of a Wanganui football enthusiast who was sent home from a smoke concert with a hedgehog in the cup won by his club was recorded some months ago (says the “Herald”). Recently the same gentleman visited the Foxton races. His attachment to hedgehogs is now, apparently, well-known, for when he returned to his car after the day’s racing he found that a hedgehog had been placed in his overcoat pocket. Unfortunately the animal had expired, and the characteristic pungent odour left by the corpse necessitated the purchase of a new overcoat.
