"At the City Council meeting last week the Mayor spoke of the advisability of licensing strolling musicians. He was as fond of music as any man, but it was too much to have it dished up for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and have to pay out all the time. By licensing musicians of this kind on the Continent their numbers had been rery materially reduced, and he was sure the money subscribed by citizens to these musicians would be more than sufficient to keep a citizens' baud going all the year." " Mayob Pabk : " Now, then, Maccarowni, off with you, or I'll quickly Bettle you and your old tink-tank-tankitty-tank ! " "Italian Virtuoso: " Ah, Signor Parka, thiß is not — what you call it — fair dinkum. Youlofte beautiful Italiana music vair mooch. You go welcome te divina Melba. Why come not yon to welcome te divina organist ? "
