CORRESPONDENCE.
“HOOPING-UP CHAMPIONS.” (To the Editor.) Sir, —A certain paragraph appeared iu Tuesday’s issue that I feel sure would be read with considerable amusement by the large army of cheese workers in Taranaki.. I refer to the “hooping-up" championship incident at Riverdale. I think that the participants must have been “hacks,” and that some of the older hands were just pulling their legs a trifle. AVhy, I have a lad here, not yet 17 years old, who can give either of them five minutes start, and incidentally the old man father of a beating. I could name half a dozen from past experience that could break 16 minutes. I only write this in the hope that it will reduce that ‘.‘swelled head” feeling that these would-be champions must be suffering from by this time. —I am, etc., FAUGH-A-BALLAGH. Okato, November 30.
