He was proceeding to the show grounds, when he observed a heifer which had liberated from the yardt making straight for a female who was attired in a dress of rather a striking colour—a colour for which cows have somewhat- of an antipathy. The constable took in the situation at a glance, and rushed to the rescue. Throwing up his hands he endeavoured to Btop the beast in its wild career. But alas ! the heifer was not to be frightened by either handcuffs or baton, and the heroic " bobby, " in the twinkling of an eye, was placed hors dc combat. Fortunately, although considerably shaken he was not seriously injured. Tin-, owner of the heifer is wanted.
