-~~' i It is hard lines for a racehorse when it is reduced to getting its living in the streets of a borough, but this has happened in New Plymouth more than once recently (states a New Plymouth journal). A trotter named Jersey Queen, which would still be famous but for the influence of advancing years, had a very narrow escape from going to the boiling-down works from the pound, where it had been led by the borough inspector on being found in a certain street without lawful visible means of support. More recently a racehorse. which, as seen at night had every appearance of being a valuable animal, was found by the Jnspeetor in one of the central streets of the borough. The horse was too wise to allow the hand of the municipal official to clutch its mane, so it had to be driven into a handy enclosure, where it was left to await further developments. The dependents of soldiers undergoing detention are now entitled to receive the dependents' allowances nominally payable to them. This rule comes into effect from January 1, 1919, i!
