It is stated that the election petition against the Hon. C. J. Pan's return is based on an incident at a reception given to Mr. and Mrs. Parr in a portion of tho Eden electorate, where the promoters of the function provided strawberries and cream lor those present. A good story is told by a Hamilton gentleman who recently returned from trip abroad (states the “'Waikato Times”). A fellow-passenger was a canny old Scotchman, who, when tin' ship‘ arrived al. Auckland, asked .a taximan io drive, him to a. certain hotel. On arriving nt his destination he asked the fare, and his careful soul received something akin to an electric shock when told 16s. for a journey that, occupied about, five minutes. Sixteen shillings, he repeated, sixteen shillings, as .he. ruminated that the taximan thought him an easy lamb. 1 hen his canniness returned to him with a rush. “Look, man,” ho said, ‘1 ve O-Ot a wee bit of business to do wr vou There’s a police station not far from here (Without knowing exactly where), just drive me along there, and we’ll let the law fix the fare.’ The taxi-man, taken aback, hesitated, but the Scotchman insisted, and when he bad won tho day, he pulled out two shillings, which he handed the x driver, with the remark that that was all the drive was worth, and if ho did not care to take it he would get nothing. The taxi-man did the wise thing, and accepted, and then drove swiftly awav. Sit ting at. dinner that night the Scotchman heard several of his fellow-pas-sengers complaining of tho extortionate" charge of 16s. they had paid for a ride from tho wharf to tho hotel. “Ah mon,” «i>oke up Scottie, ‘these jelrns must be .kinder to strangers than to their own countrymen. . Ihe ride up didna. cost mo more than two shillings.” , , .
