THE WINTER SHOW.

t Sir,-—Should time permit and (lie various 1 authorities bo agreoabie may J ho jKrmtt[ted to suggest that our brave and jolly men* ;-of-wai su:c'!i belonging to the squadron now 'hi port ho invited to view tho interesting winter show in the Drill Shod. The graphic (description of tho exhibition *o fully and [ably described _in to-day'.* HEiULO . will naturally bo the means of drawing many thousand-; of citizcftx and country folks. ■ Equally interesting and gratifying would it :not- prove to our murine'? affording thoiu a topic of conversation for many long even* ings on board. Should time he now too 'short to arrange for n certain number of I »men to attend during the week, perhaps a I quieter and more opportune day could ikis- • jsiblv be .arranged for Sunday or Monday. •.Such invitation if practicable would, I venture to say, bo fully and highly appreciated. Hoping our .worthy Mayor will he agreeable ]and willing to assist in the endeavour to {obtain the Admiral's •• interest and consent . |to this little project for giving a few hours' ; real enjoyment to the men and officers, si jthe same time showing our appreciation of j our bravo defenders and affording n slight act of courtesy on the part of tho inhabi- 1 J tants of our favoured city. My great ad- ' |miration for the brave and plucky sons of j Nelson must be my excuse for thus craving | j your indulgence and kind assistants. | May 23. . H. Brußovr. ______________ ' ;
