Business ■ Notices. ° ■ ■ Hallo, Hallo ! Was there ever such a thing happened in the Colony beforo. THE CHINAMEN CHALLENGE IS ACCEPTED BY BERNSTONE, THE PARIS IT A' l LOR, IF BERNSTONE IS A WANDERING JEW HE IS NOT A CHINAMAN. No. 1. Your challenge in last Friday's paper of the 20th inst., of ton pounds aside is accepted on condition if you answer the questions, but would it not be better for you to put another LlO to it. I would rather see a little more money, but, however, if you cannot aftord it I will let you 'off with LlO. I have been looking ovifc to vet a hold of you for thjs laat 18 months. A person that has not been taught by Europeans but by Chinamen in Sydney should not open his mouth so wide. No. 2. As regards my challenge 1 would like you to .appoint a place to meet me when I shall express to you the garment that I want you to make. The garment is a Prince of Wales ball costume, and I shall find you the stuff and you will hare to sit down between six practical tradesmen in Dunedin and be judged by them.. I will do the same with your challange also, and whichever garment yon wish mo to make lain prepared to do so — Frock coat, Dress coat, or anything else that is worn by n European. I did not learn my trade with Chinamen in Sydney and Woolamooloo, but with proper tradesmen in France, Germany, Austria, Russia, England and the Colonies; I have carried on a large business in Dunedin and employed as many as 30 j hands and more, many snobs came to me for a job but I kicked them out. No. 3. You have mentioned in the paper that yon were too busy and. wouldn't accept the challenge for L 3 ; that is all rot, if a man wishes to keep his name up he should do it without any money but for honour. lam not very busy — I am only making four suits a week and six pairs of trousers. I don't call that busy in employing a couple of hands and myself day and night. I call busy having orders from one six months to another. VTou know I have been down at your place several times and you have always been out ; that proves you are not busy. You might call yourself busy by making one pair of Moleskin Trousers in a week. You. know you don't employ anybody. No. 4. lam giving you 24 hours tc be prepared. lam not a very rich man at present, but I can always find LlO to meet a Chinaman— even LIOO or L2OO if.it comes to the pinch. If I haven't got the money I have friends in Dunedin and Christchurch who I can get it from. This notice must be fulfilled within 24 hours. 'by a letter through the post. No. 4. Would you kindly answer this question — How would yon cut a dress coat with a humphy back and pigeon chest 1 If you do not know how, you come to me for six month apprenticeship and I will teach yon. How would you cut a pair of trousers bandy legs ? If you cJon't know come to me for another six months. If you don't believe this I can prove it by letters from Dunedin and Christchurch that I have made them. I hope you will keep up your spirit, and I hope you will follow up the example that BERNSTONE, THE P^VRIS TAILOR, IS GOING TO TBAOH YOU. GOOD VALUE!
