“PARKING” A HORSE
SOLUTION OF PROBLEM The difficulty of “parking” one’s horse in a convenient place must often arise in a modern city, hut an equestrian en route from Wnitati to Green Island solved the problem in a novel manner, writes a Dunedin correspondent. His solution, however, might well have caused his trusty steed much gloomy reflection and more than a pang of regret for the past glories of his> race. For his resting place was not a strawcovered stable or a grassy field and his companions were not quadrupeds of flesh and blood. Instead, bis night’s lodging was a safety parking area, and his fellow lodgers were the latest in motor cars.
The presence of the horse attracted considerable attention, and the proprietor of the parking area was deeply interested in his charge, the first of its kind in seven years. The situation epitomised the development of transport, and to the lover of horses brought back the days when life moved at a more leisurely pace.
