? 'Ar# you bored? Does life seem to have nothing further to offer yon in the way of new sensations?’Do'you feel that you hare exhausted all your energies hitherto in the vain pursuit of a bubble, whose name is pleasure P Would you tike to feel that “join do vivre,”' that feeling that life ’s indeed worth living, that you are keenly interested in something again, that you have forgotten for a while your most •pressing business worries? Would you care to witness some of the keenest contests it has ever'been’your lot to behold, where man vies with man, each doing his utmost, each calling upon bis last ounce of reserve strength to snatch victory’s laurels? To see the spirit that existed in ancient Greece revived? To see tire contests between nobl» equities, to see them, emulating the endeavors of their masters, and •training every nerve and sinew almost to breaking point? To see the wdiiderful sagacity and almost superhuman command that the poliie dog (man’s best friend) lias over the stubborn and obstreperous sheep? How at a word, a whistle or a simple gesture, the dog will scamper far afield, will lie down or stand perfectly still until the master’s object is achieved ? Then when these contests have excited, enlivened and enlightened you, would it not be a fitting end to'such a glorious pageant, to see an ex-baustively-humorous, magnificentlyconceived, wonderfully executed burlesque of the latter event? All this can be seen next Easter Monday. The contests will be a tiervon* pick-me-up, a tonic of tonics, and, in fact, the aqua pura of all medicines. The above is what tlio Stratford Gymkhana will do. for readers next Easter Monday, ISth April, Get there! Dek’t jpiss it !
