To any casual observer last evening Waihi presented a woe-beg'one, dejected appearance, its populace standing in groups about the street, and a knot of people around the Daily Telegraph office asking with bated breath : “ Is it true ?” or saying, “ Oh, its only a take,” some offeriug to bet on an apparent mystery. The reason of it all was the salutary defeat of the “ All Blacks ” by the “ Cornstalks.” When the result was confirmed it was curious to listen to the effect of the news. The great combination which had been honoured in Sydney by the authorities—naval, military, civic, and even Gubernatorial—were immediately at a heavy discount, and the cry of “ stinking fish !” was heard. “ Oh, I’ve no time for that crew, anyway; they’re half professionals,” was one patriot’s judgment, whilst another said: “Just watch those fellows—they’ll make a pot of money on the next match.” In other places the blow was 'received with fortitude and resignation, the only question being, apparently, as to whether Parliament would adjourn to day as an expression of their “ sackcloth-and-ashes ” feeling. It is certain that if this is repeated over the other side the “ All Blacks’ ” chance of coining home in decency will be “ all blue.” No flags were flown at half-mast yesterday.— Waihi Telegraph. THE L.K.G.” ENDORSED. The advantages resulting from the use of the milking machine were clearly set out in a very able paper read at the dairy conference during the recent Palmerston Winter Show by Mr J. BurtVeale, of Woodville, who uses two “ L.K.G.” machines. He stated that the machines make dairying more of a pleasure and less of a drudgery, and that they solve the labour problem for those having to employ for large herds. Mr Veale’s experience is borne out by leading dairymen throughout Australia, New Zealand, North America, and Great Britain, where hundreds of these machines are now in use.
