bbt friend of mine exclaimed, "Why does Hot George Thamby lie up?" I made the by no means original remark that he could hot le up without his home, as, in spite of ibay downpour, I could see Mr. Thursby driving his horse for all he was worth. Down the hill came St. Amant as if pursued by the foul! Fiend, and afer him, came Joba-o'-Gaunt, but

long way behind. In the straight for the first time John-o'-Gaunt caught hold of his bit and made up a lot of ground, bat-tby effort was too late and St. Amant was easily. No one was to blame but the elements; still, 1-nball. always firmly believe that the best hores of the two was the second.

The Perak Pioneer has the following review of ap per on the aborigizes of Sungei Pjong, by Mr. Knocker, Curator of the "alp ng Mu- seum:-The subject has more than a prasing interesi for residents in this part of the world,, and is rendered all the more interesting by the fact that it has been treated by the Curator of our own Museum, Mr. Knocker, whose good sold work in the field of scientific loventi- gation we are all acquainted with from Kaocker actual experience.

Sungei Ujang, itis bardly necessary to remark, Is one of the original pjab States which con. stitute the Negri Sembilan, and it is in the uplands of that State that these aborigines have their places of abide. Mr. Knocker, points out that they are distinct from the Sakais, of whom so much has been written, and that they apparently comprise
