When ships are launched in America flowers are strewn febout, instead of a bottle of wine being broken as in Britain. In Japan a number of birds are freed. The Mayor of Nottingham has received two letters, one from West Australia and the other from Lancashire, in each of which the writer asks the mayor to find him a wife. The prospective hus band in Anstralia stipulates only that she must be born and bred in Nottingham.
