It has been said on very good authority, that a certain good man in England, who was in very poor circumstances, thrice dreamed that a specific horse would win the Grand National Handicap. So sure was he that he sold the > very roof over his head and placed the money with a bookmaker. The horse won and the man was independent for life. There are many race dreams being dreamt in Paeroa just now. Quite apart from the horses, ladies have many visions of "dreams of hats," such as Cullen's are advertising in this issue.
