Readers appear to be somewhat mystified over an advertisement which has appeared in the Press during the past few days. They are burning to know whether " Wahoo" refers to a nine-leggei donkey, the £3.000,000 securities, a new mixture for Prohibitionists, or a recipe for "Terrible Jimmy." 2114

On Sunday morning the west aide of Fifth Avenue is thronged with Church, Parade. There one sees in all his splendour the New York young man. Somehow, notwithstanding all his efforts to be English, he never quite effects it. Either bis hat is too curly, hie coat too long, or hit trousers overpreesed. He looks like an advertisement for a fashionable Manchester tailor, and represents the wide difference between gentlemanly and a gentleman.

At present, the gilded youth here seem to be in the transition stage between the cowboy and the masher; they talk very low, between their teeth ; they call each other "old man," and describe the theatre last night as the "rottenest show," but next minute out leaps the cowboy, either in manners or talk, and the temporary illusion I* eone.— TtmjpU Bxr, j
