Wellington Harbour Board gives some outstanding figures. in the course of his letter he states: “Vancouver and New Westminster alone export some 70,000 tons of salmon. The figures are so immense that one wonders • how the supply of the necessary raw material can be maintained. I was shown over one\ canning factory on the Frazer River, near Vancouver. This' one factory, working full time, required no less than 20,000 fish a day to keep its works at full capacity. The extraordinary rap.dity oUthe process of canning may be realised when I say that from the time that the fish, practically alive, is seen on the floor of the canning room .to the time it is' packed in tins ready for the boiling process and final packing into cases, is about five, but certainly not more than 10 minutes.’’ A horse in a butcher’s delivery cart ■ belonging, to Messrs Woolhouse and Co., created a small sensation in Sale ; Street this morning. While the driver was delivering some meat, the horse became restive and overturned the " cart. In its efforts to free itself the cart was badly smashed and the fence of Mrs Bennett was kicked in. The horse eventually' became free from the cart, and bolted down Sale Street with its harness on and chain harness; , rattling behind. The horse continued , its wild career down Weld Street, tak ; ing to the footpath on the south side-, and continued its-gallop right down the, footpath to Re veil Street, whei-eit ; >crossed over on to the beach.. There it. turned southward and came off the beach at Gibson Quay, continuing up to near the Post Office,' where it was stopped and taken charge of. The horse did not appear to have suffered any injury during its wild run. It was | lucky that there were few people about, otherwise serious could ' easily have occurred, if anyone had been passing the intersections of the streets at the ;time. .
