ABOUT ESQUIRES.
"How u this for 'E quires'?" atkj a correspondent .—"Hospital Secretaryship.— At a committee meeting, held at OLeary's Mount Murchison Hotel on Tuesday night, W. A. Steel, B:q, P.M., in the chair, the applications for the eecrataryahip of the hospital were considered. A ballot having been taken, Mr Thomas B. Coe was elected. Tnere were three implications for the appomtmeat. The following were the committee : Walterus Brown, E?q, J.P. ; T. J. Haydon. E?q., J P.; W. H. White, Esq.; M. J. D'Arcy, E*q. ; Thomas o'L?ary, E q ; and W. T. Forster, E-q." A better thing in esquires has seldom come under notice. The malignant fellow who sent it to me mischievously adds:—''lt is needless to say that the successful candidate was the editor of the newspaper in whioh the above appeared. Hence these esquires." It ia truly refreshing to find editors at length bucomicg alive to personal advantage.—*' JEyles."
