Speaking to a ( 'Daily Times reporter a Masterton merchant gave it as his ’ opinion that the decision arrived at by the Australian Government to prohibit, Tasmanian potatoes would not cause prices to rise in New. Zealand. On the contrary it would probably have an opposite tendency, as growers in Tasmania would very likely seud their tubers here. “I guess we saw the solution of the mysterious lights, and probably of the airship also, up at Woodhaugh,” said r G B. Nicholls to a member of the Dunedin “Star” staff. “It has been well said that there is but a step from the sublime to the ridiculous, and it was exemplified at Woodhaugh. Coming down to a meeting at a quarter past 7 in the evening, my attention was attracted by the exclamations of the people to mysterious lights in thesky. There they were, in full sight, coming majestically down the centre of the Woodhaugh Valley, several hundred. feet in the air. This . was doubtedly the genuine airship. There were the peculiar wavy motion all the Observers have chronicled; there wore the two small lights above the larger light suspended below, as several others have described it; there was also the sinking up and down, the steady, controlled movement, and. the whole bill of fare. Even as wo looked it sailed majestically towards us, and we began to listen for tlie whirr of machinery, and. began to strain our eyes for this world’s wonder, when a change came o’er the scene. Whether it was that the small hoys ran too fast, whether they came to the end of the string they were letting out, or whether an extra strong gust of wind upset thencalculations, I do not know; but certain it is that the majestic airship became suddenly transformed into a duckin <r kite. Over she went, and dived to earth helpless and inglorious. There were two lights at the kite itself, one each side, and one big one at the end of the tail. The imitation of an airship was certainly capital w hue i lasted.”
