QUAINT COMEDY IN CITY. Sydney, Dee. 15. A little comedy, rarely seen outside a picture theatre, was staged in Castlereagli Street, Sydney, the other day. A man, who had been to market, and purchased a bull and a number of cows, was driving his small herd through a corner of the eify when with a pervcrepness typically feminine, one of the cows suddenly made up her bovine mind to go by a route that was not scheduled, and dashed into a side street. Her owner had a few crowded moments in trying to convince her that her theories shout localities were all wrong, and left the rest of the herd, for some minutes, to their own devices. The bull started a tour of exploration. He ambled slowlv on to the pavement. and, apparently at peace with the world, wandered along. Suddenly he perceived another lmll glaring at him . from the window of a confectionery shop. He bristled. The other bull bristled. He pawed. The other bull pawed. He roared. The noise he made effectively, drowned the challenging bellow of the other bull, but the hi i ter went through all the motions. Our bull could stand it no longer. He lowered his head and shot forward in a charge. There was a mad crash. Wo. men screamed, men shouted -and « completely bewildered and disillusioned hull was extricated from the wreckage of the i wirn'ow. and the big mirror which had i prared it.
