AUCKLAND JOURNALISM.

reminds us of the mouldy appearance of Prankestein's monster. It requires a stronger imagination than we possess to fancy Miss Docey above mediocrity. As for Mr. Stewart, he does not appear to be flesh or fowl or good red herring ; no one is likely to forget that he is the imitation of a good actor.

Such an uncalled for event could not- possibly have taken place without our observing it. Brett's eyeglass or his head must have been on the ' • light fantastic" go. That the show is a medley there cannot be two opinions. A medley without a method. The mimicry is there too, but there is more m a monkey or a poll parrot.' W. Thomas.— -We are glad to notice our old friend is still standing on his own bottom, a freemason, and a hatter m the monumental, marble, and stone cutting business. There is no deception about his masonry. He is not offering a premium for a managing partner having found this line of goods very unprofitable. His address will be found m another column. No connection with the buffer opposite. C. Brookes.-— This "son of wax" sports an advertisement m our columns. We have ordered a new pair of boots, so some people had better look out for their corns.
