A rather awkward predicament was narrowly averted in connection with a nolicense meeting held in a prominent Marlborough town quite recently. It. was a lady lecturer, and the usual decanter of pure water lay on the table, but at a critical moment the glass was missing. A gentleman went off to a neighbouring house for the loan of a tumbler, and was innocently handed one in the dark bearing the legend " Drink • Watson's Whisky." Some fortunate inspiration temDted the messenger to glance _ at the glass before placing it in full view of the audience, and the perilous situation was saved.
