The programme of the South Canterbury Jockey Club Steeplechase Meeting to be held on July 11, appears in an advertisement. The nominations for the different handicaps are exceedingly good, and the meeting is certain to be very successful. It is worthy of note bow often men possessed of really clever minds, and who make their mark in the world in |heir own particular line, are afflicted with ridiculous ideas of a petty kind. The following from au exchange gives an instance of one of these kind of gentlemen being hoist with his own petard :—James Payn, the novelist, refuses to dress for dinner like other gentlemen, and will only go out if his host will accept him in evening dress, bis idea of the same being a suit which would become a scarecrow. Not long ago he was invited by a considerable man, who asked some distinguished people to meet him. One of these proposed to take the conceit out of the novelist by outdoing him in his own line. And it was done. They dressed in flannel shirts, corduroy breeches, velveteen coats, scarlet necktie, thunder and lightning hunting waistcoats, with brass buttons, thick boots and leggings. The novelist was completely beaten at his own game, for be looked like a Nonconformist parson amongst a lot of gamekeepers, not to say poachers.
