A surprise attack from the rear was the experience of a company of Territorials the other evening when returning to the camp bn the racecourse (says the Wanganui “Herald”). In the vicinity of the lugestre Street railway crossing a motor car, driven by a young lady, struck , the rear of the column, scattering khaki forms in all directions. it appears that the lady expected, the troops to move off the road and allow her to pass, but they held their ground, with the above result. Happily no one was hurt seriously. The rille of one of the Territorials smashed the wind-screen of the ear, and the lady was given the fright of her life.
