GOOD OPINION OF DONKEYS.
"Donkeys," said Mr. Kenza Boswell, "are funny things. There's a lot more about donkey than you would think,"
Mr. Kenza Boswell is well quali- fied to lecture on donkeya. For 60 years he has been keeping them, while his family have hired them out for more than 200 years. He says he has so many relations in the business that he does not know their exact number or where they all are. Following his annual cus- tom, Mr. Boswell was on Black- heath, S.E., on August 1. Sitting beneath a dripping, rain-soaked canvas shelter, wearing a close- check brown suit and low crowned hard felt hat, his face a dark, tan- ned colour, his eyes flashing, a figure for an artist's study, Mr. Boswell made a few observationa on the weather to a "Daily Mail" reporter, and continued:
