What hypocrisy to be soft-voiced in our petition to Grod, and crueltongued in our intercourse with our neighbours! ’ A terrible fight between two menagerie lions occurred at Sanger’s Circus lately. After the performance, the keeper heard sounds of a battle royal, and found the two lions fighting. He pluckily entered the cage, and succeeded in parting the infuriated animals, but not before one had received a mortal wound, its jugular vein being bitten through. The deceased lion was worth £250. Rabbits are reaching Otautau in considerable numbers. Few are met with in the closely settled parts, but in the back country up Merrivale way the trapper ‘ runs them in ’ in hundreds.
