The latest anil-most fashionable fad in the United States is for ladies to take ' about with them pot lambs. This fad started iu Philadelphia—in Bryn Mawr, to be exact. That is a very exclusive suburb of Philadelphia, famous for its girls’college, the wealth of the residents, the beauty of their homes, the fine traps and horses, and the good drives. For months the most conspiciuous things on the thoroughfares of Bryn Mawr have been dainty little lambs, whose snowy tloeco has been washed and combed into fluffy loveliness.

Comparing the riding of “ Major ” Taylor, the American champion, and Don. Walker, the Australian champion, the Sydney Referee scribe says : —Summed up, my opinion of the two men amounts to this: For actual speed, both fit and well, I don’t think there is much between them, and there should be some royal battles during the rest of the carnival. But if it bo simply a matter of tactics, Taylor will always win when well. Could it be guaranteed that Taylor will go on improving his form (and it must be remembered that all the conditions were strange to him on his first appearance) in the next fortnight in proportion to what he picked up in a little over a week, then there would be only one in it. But I very much doubt .it. Form is a very elusive thiDg. You can’t over-hurry an athlete’s preparation. The condition he has got may be of the “ mushroom ” order, not lasting. It sounds like a revelation to learn that the cold, clayey gum lands of the North are after all really fertile. The cry has ever been these lands would grow nothing but ti-tree and rushes, and this was generally taken for granted, and no effort made to test the capacity of the land.— Grey River Argus.
