A COINCIDENCE.

TO THE EDITOR. Sir, i notice a local in the Timaru Post taken from your paper referring to a motorist being assailed by a bull. Most remarkable coincidence, for on page 120 of “Sally,” by Dorothea Conyers Methuen, Is not edition, roads : ‘liiere was one came at mo once,’ said Smith, 'an’ I windin’ up a car by the roadside —a great fierce animal, ready for mischief. Every time I dodged him round I took a twist at the handle in the hope she’d start, an’ there I was for ten minutes, until I thought of soundin’ tho ’ooter as I run past. He was that confused ho wint lookin’ round for the other bull, an’ with that an’ the ’olp of God I got ’cr started; but it was a leap for life then to bo in and off.’ etc., etc.” I might say the above book was first published August 29, 1912.—1 am, etc., A.
