CAIRO FROLICS
GAY NEW ZEALANDERS A DARING COW RODEO The Egyptian Gazette, of Cairo, publishes the following:—"Regarding our cows we beg to report a little excitement yesterday afternoon. We had some visitors in the office, New Zealand boys they were, and they were, as usual, feeling grand. We talked of this and that and then they left. A little later we heard a commotion in the street and saw New Zealand hats bobbing about in the midst of a cheering crowd. “We hurried down and found one of our friends showing the crowd how they threw cattle on New Zealand stations. He had the startled cow round the shoulders, as it were, and was slowly forcing it on to the ground. The milkman was nearly in hysterics. ‘lt will make his milk come bad,’ he screamed - . “We persuaded our friend to desist and told him he mustn’t hold rodeos in Cairo streets. He was very sorry, but the cow made him homesick, he said. ‘I love cows,’ he continued, they’re comfortable, understanding beasts.’ “ ‘Well, what do you want to throw 'em about for, then?’ he asked. “ ‘Why,’ he replied, ‘they love it. It’s all just sheer fun for them.’ ”
