A Sydney cable states that a New Zealand woman, named Mrs Park, lias established a record for women w,alkers. Accompanied by a packman, carrying her impedimenta, sbe walked from Melbourne to Sydney, •the journey occupying 5 weeks. The •cable man is careful to say that "she slept in tihe open." Presumably Mais Park undertook the task out of sneer bravado, and to gain notoriety. Sihe is welcome to it. But the man, if aucili she possesses, wlhto stayed at home and looked after tihe "kidisi," is the hero of the piece. ■ _^
