Mr Bunny, M.H.R., hasbeon author ; ised by. the Government to engage a te'mperary constable at Greytown for four weeks, pending permanent arrangements being made, This is a valuable concession so far as it indicates that the Government admits having made a blu.ndor in withdrawing the 'lnto policeman. We believe, however, that the sum allowed for the. temporary officer is a very low one, and is more likely to tempt a spirited old woman in impecunious circumstances, rather than a haie and capable male adult.

But times changed, betting collapsed, and the parfcnora found they had time to review their books and ascertain their real position. After patient investigation, with actuarial assistance, they discovered that if tho favorite won they must lose £BO and if outsider first passed the post tho firm stood to lose £230. The magnates have now more respect for book-making.
