Hennah, Hon. W. Rolleston, Frank Brittan, E. W. ■ Tippetts, Carruthers, and others—these things gave us enough to talk about for a long time. Old and young -wound up with kiss-in-the-ring; ■ our joyous laughter would ring out and Tattle all _ round Christchurch. Just plain, rollicking fun on that day, scrambling for lollies given us by tho la to Colonel Sinter. Why, Sir, it •wowk\ bring a duck off its nest to soe that fun, and now they have pulled down th,e blind on that bright and happy lGth of December. What a shame! —Yours, etc., MAHEXO.
