COW DASHES INTO AUCKLAND SHOPS.
(Special to the ‘'Star.") AUCKLAND, June 23. A cow which insisted on shopping caused some amusement, not unmixed with alarm, at Remuera tram terminus on Tvicsday morning. The cow was being driven by the poundkeeper when she suddenly swerved into a garage. No sooner had the truant been ejected than she (lashed into a fruiterer’s shop. Some difficulty was experienced here in persuading the unusual customer 1 hat greengroceries were not common property. The poor animal's bewilderment was now complete and when she was backed out she made a wild dash across the road to a chemist’s, but the shopkeeper declined the opportunity of selling a draught and shut the door in the cow’s face, a precaution against invasion which was promptly taken by others. This early closing checked the lady in her bargain hunt and the poundkeeper was able to drive her away. No damage was done and shop doors i were re opened to resume the morning's * business. .
