ROMANTIC ELOPEMENT.
Elopements are becoming popular in Auckland, and seem to have an irresistible charm to some young folks. On Monday a well-known young gentleman eloped with a young lady from the North Shore. His name°is not unlike that of one of our most illustrious poets. He is a good-natured youth, full of fun and frolic, good at all athletic sports, and a capital runner. He has now run away with Polly. Polly is a fair, pretty young lady, with a pleasant, graceful manner. She did not return home all day on Monday, nor at night, neither on Tuesday ; and the absence of Mr Spokeshave being identical, and as Polly had taken her jewels,it became evident that the two had journeyed to Jerusalem together. The police were requested to take them in charge, Polly being but young. Nothing, however, has been heard of the loving pair since Monday. He left the North Shore by the 9.30 boat, and she left by the 11 o'clock. The event has caused great excitement In domestic circles, both being not only well-known but very well liked.
