Greymouth and Wellington.— Advt. In connection with the Hobart regatta this year, when the booths were in the usual way put up for auction, ', the secretary of the Temperance Alliance made the highest bid, and I bought the lot. He did not sell beer, . neither did he make money; but, no > doubt, he was satisfied with the know- ; ledge, that it was a dry regatta, says a ; correspondent of thd Melbourne I Argus. This interdiction of the sale i of liquor on the ground was the ■ 'occasion of a pleasant ,i cs t- -A- mysterl ious advertisement in the newspapers I inviting "people to. visit tent 30," ■where "everything is free." Rumour I already had it that some of the licens ed victuallers had a plan for defeatL ing their enemy, and it is quite safe ' to say that 99 out of every .100 people ' who read it assumed it meant tha? " beer was obtainable. The idea was strengthened by a mysterious • dis- | tribution of "complimentary" tickets. J Word went round, and the day> was ' not well aired before many thirsty \ men sought and found terttSO. Inside \ they found a recruiting officer ready , to tell them why they should enlist, , and a medical officer offering free \ examination. Whether as a conse- . quence of this joke or by other means, • fifteen recruits were got on the ground. [ < Carbide — just landed. 101 b. lots at ; 1/3 per lb. F. C. Wade and Co— Advt.
