“I do not think it necessary for a motorist, providing he is taking reasonable care, to sound his horn at every corner he turns,” said Alexander Hunger, who was charged in the Te Aroha Magistrate’s Court with driving in a negligent manner in Rewi Street. He added that there was a certain.responsibility on pedestrians to keep a look-out when they were crossing the road. “Yes. but apparently you just grazed the coat of one,” remarked the magistrate, Mr F. H. Levien. “You have no right to give ‘close shaves.’ Just a bare toot of the horn would have put you ‘on side.’ ” Defendant was fined £1 and costs. Racehorse training centres in New Zealand are short of grooms and boys with riding experience, and the position in some instances is serious. A case in point is that of the Trentham trainer, H. Telford, whose stables usually are full of yearlings after the sales l , but they now shelter only about one-quarter cf the number usually housed at this time of year. Telford has had to send all the purchases for Australia, that he previously kept for several months, to their owners, because he cannot get Loys capable of looking after them.
