POOR CAMBRIDGE SNUBBED. Mayor Buckland (at the inauguration of the telephone service between Auckland and Cambridge) : Now, ladies and gentlemen, I have rung up the great city of Auckland that we are now linked with. The Mayor is out, but the Town Clerk is called, and we will get the great reply to place on our records. Town Clerk's Voice (heard in the distance) : What's that ? Cambridge wants me on the telephone ? Tell them I'm too busy to answer telephones.
