TIN HARES IN EGYPT
The racing camel in Egypt is reported to have got the hump badly over the invasion of the land of the Pharaohs by a con•krnment of greyhounds and the inevitable tin hare. So now the loping camel will play second fiddle to the leaping hound. No fewer than 200 long-tails were shipped to Alexandria to provide high carnival for the breezy (?) Gippos in Cairo.
