AN AMUSING INCIDENT.
An amusing incident (says the New Zealand Times) occurred in connection with Mr Buchanan's banquet at Carterton last Saturday, when a conscientious doorkeeper refused admittance to Mr Scobie Mackenzie, M.H.R., who arrived on the scene unarmed with a ticket of admission. Mr Mackenzie is alleged to have said—" Don't you know who lam ? lam Mr Scobie Mackenzie, and I have come to speak at this banquet. 1 ' The doorkeepers reply was shortly as follows— •' Well, I don't know you from a bar of soap, and you don't get in without a ticket." Somebody came to the rescue just then, and the senior member for Dunedin city was passed in.
