Box 199, Dunedin, not later than 7th January, '92. Acrostics must not be any more abstruse than the third problem in Euclid, puns not more than ordinarily villainous, and any jokes submitted must be pungent enough 10 dawn on the average Scotchman within one week from the period of administration. Any communications which do not come up to these standards will not bo utilised, and if anything more than usually brilliant appears in our advertising, everyone will have a chance of laying claim to it. The four voracious anglers who caught the plaster of Paris trout in "Three Men in a Boat" will be nowhere with the people who will have contributed anonymously erery smart thing that we may receive.
