According to the Daily Express, at the conclusion of the game at Wimbledon, Mademoiselle Lenglen, waving her racquet triumphantly, said: "Now, Mrs Mallory, I have proved to you today what I could have done in New York last year." Mrs Mallory replied coldly: "You have done to me today what I did to you in New York last year. You have beaten me.”
Mrs Mallory later stated, in the course of an interview, that she was anxious to meet Mlle Lenglen as early as possible and whenever she is ready.
City mobilises to find work
A meeting of the Unemployment Relief Committee was held in the Town Hall yesterday morning.
The Mayor said that the executive was called together to consider questions of unemployment, and, probably, something of a wider sphere.
The railway deviation works at Pelichet Bay would be of decided benefit to the whole community. If they could get that work started it was going to relieve the distress to a considerable extent.
Likewise the Returned Soldiers Association had sent some men down to the Gardens, where they were working under the direction of Mr Tannock.
At Black Jacks Point there was 16,000 yards of stone to be removed, there was the building of the Leith canal, road making, and a number of other things. The trouble was to start the job.
Are waxeyes Australian strays?
"People who know the white-eyes and who watch their coming and going," Dr Fulton writes, "have been surprised to find great numbers of them frequenting the suburbs of this city. Residents in all other parts of Otago, no doubt, have had the same experience. We see hundreds and thousands where formerly we saw a score or two. There is no doubt that they have come over the sea from Australia. Whether they wing their way from day to day, or get a chance to rest on smooth water, nobody knows. Many must perish on the journey — overcome by fatigue, stormblown or frozen. In a very large Olearia forsteri, about seventy years old, on my lawn, the white-eyes are in full possession, and hardly any other species shows up except an odd song thrush. My Persian cat at last has come into his own. Hardly a day passes on which he does not appear on the lawn playing with, and finally devouring, several white-eyes.” White-eyes cluster around Dr Fulton’s back door, and greedily take potato, bacon, bread, rice — anything in fact. Many of them suffer from cold and fall off trees or fences on to theground. When picked up and warmed they recover. This occurrence is quite common at Dr Fulton’s on frosty mornings. He continues "There is no doubt in my mind that white-eyes migrated from Australia this autumn."
PM’s decade in charge marked
