MR BEECROFT AND THE BULL.
An amusing mistake was made by a compositor on the Titnaru Herald recently at the expense of a clerical I gentleman, Eov. 0. E, JJeecroft. The latter sent a somewhat indignant letter to our contemporary referring to some strictures which had boon made in referee ■•• to an address presented to General Booth. The erratic comp. leavened thi? with a line of two from i stirring- account of a bull fight. Our confrere explains:—'The account of the bull fight suffered by the absence of the two lines of type attributed to Mr Boecroft. The bottom of the column loft a horse and its rider in tlie air, where the exertion-, of a hull of pure Spanish blood had just placed them, and there they still remain for anything which the article as published by us says to the contrary. The fact is, that those who wish fully to understand the bull fig-lit must read Mr Beecroft's letter, and those who wish to understand Mr Beecroft's letter, will bo in a better position to do so after they have studied the bull fight.'—Exchange.
