A cable message from Mineapolis (U.S.A.) to the Australian papers states that power boat Miss Detroit II won the gold cup with an average speed of 56.1 miles an hour. Two lionesses escaped from a travelling menagerie at Campbelltown, New Soutii Wales, recently. The town was thrown into chaos, and a band of men, armed with rifles, held the animals at bay for several hours before they were cornered. One made a dash at a horse and hurled it to the ground. Two shots were fired, but without effect. The lionesses were eventually captured.
