OHAUPO REVIEW AND RACES.

Sib, — a letter on tho above subject by " Well Wisher," just puis we m mind of a South American mule I once had. I lost him, and the last I aw of him he waa down at the back of and, by thunder, I thiik your correspondent must have fnund him, for he could kick all round, nko the dog that bit the hand that fed him. This mule would kick you when \ou fed him. aud then kick the food box when it was empty. This mule also seemed so good and quiet when th^re was gun-cotton m his head und bri v. stone m hi-* tail, he would kick or half an hour at a corner post, and, like your correspondent, hurt m.body but himself "Well Wisher" kicks at the club for having the races, k cks at the volunteers for racing aud not doing a full afternoons drill, besides a mornings' ride of, m some instances, twenty miles, and at that almighty shilling entrance fee, and not a free entrance and free lunch.: as of yore, to a whole legion of well wishers. Again, "Weli Wisher " retain 's me of that peculiar mule who would spill the last drop of his brother's blood t jn tha. his own corn crib might be k^t sacred. So enthusi.slic has "Well Wisher " to the cause of volunteering become that that cause wiil soon want recruits. " Well Wisher " also, like my stupid thick-headed mule, kicks at his betters, and makes remarks about the officer commanding the district, remarks that he known to be as false as oowar ily (just like a mule, who is sure to kick when you are not looking). He pronounce* the days entertainment a swiudle, and couple!) with that nord one of the most honourable names m the Waikato. Sir, Ido h«-p«* and trust your correspondent will have ap opportunity of proving his charges. Believe m^ hid well fishers are mutual m hoping the shilling he paid at the gate will be as broadcast upon 'henaters that he may find it again after man y days. — I atPi &o , A Cbushee.
