There are more things likely to happen to a person on a racecourse than the losing or winning of money, states the “Southland News.” As the field tore into the straight in a certain race at Gore an excited onlooker greeted the advance of the equities with a shout: “Hc‘s not trying!

Referring to the Mangahao power for Wellington the “N.Z. Times’' says:—The position of the city as fa as Mangahao power is concerned is not yet clearly defined. The Council will not look at the Government’s proposal that it should pay on the peak load, as the demands for power arc not likely to reach anything like tin figure quoted, except on rare occasions. The Mangahao current will no 4 be used for lighting, and the problem is to assign it to a definite purpose, foi’ which the load will be the same al! the year round. Radiators are of no use, for the demand for electricity for radiators is purely a winter <U maud. Cooking is what it may be used for, but the problem of inducing the people to use electric stoves remains. Further, citizens must not live in a dream of cheap power from Mangahao, for the initial outlay ha. been heavy. The capital cost of such an undertaking is tremendous.
