FISHING AND SPORT.

Fishermen journeying to and from the river by cyclo should have their cycles overhauled and enamelled for the season. Scott's will give you an estimate for thoroughly renovating your bicycle, or they will mako you a good allowance towards a new one, with balances from £5 upwards, payable at £1 per month. You will require all your energy without wasting it by pushing an old machine which may lm running out of line, hearing worn, chain just about snapping or some ol the many things which mako a bicycle hard pushing. For exchanges Scott's have Anglo Specials, lloyal Spcedwoels and other well-known makes, which are at prices unequalled in Timaru. Get an estimate and see their cycles for yourself before going elsewhere.

I August, when London is empty is (says an exchange) the time for the foreign invasion. Hut it is not Germans who pervade tlio streets and pub- | lie places. One evening this writer 'lined in an old English tavern. and was one among a company of Americans. And next day hj». travelled in an omnibus from South Kensington with nine other passengers—all of them French. The matter is serious for the -scaremongers. It looks as though the two great Republics were together down upon our effete Monarchy, as they were a century or so hack. Of "sects" there are more than one can count. The C'ooneyitos, for instance, are (says a Home paper), holding their annual congress in Fermanagh. Then there are the "Horse Protestants,'" whose members are many. Grant Duff gives the explanation : "To what sect do you belong P" asked Millmah of a man ho had always looked upon as a Nonconformist. " 1 don't mind telling you, answered tho man. T am a Horse Protestant." "What on earth is that?" queried Milman. " Why, I work like a horse all the week, and I never go to church on Sunday: but I hate the Pope and all his works," replied this religious enthusiast.
