A TRIP TO THE BLUFF.

A scene at the Invercargill railway station, on the pwrival of one of the Bluff trains on Saturday evening indicated that the port is a popular rendezvous for a certain class of traveller (states the Otago Daily Times). It happened that a football team had a Bluff engagement during the afternoon, and the majority of the members travelled in one carriage on the return journey. Their experiences at the port had evidently put the players in good humor, for above the, rattle of the train the sounds of song persisted. When the train pulled into the platform at InVercargill, the members of the football team and other occupants of the same carriage filed out, and a railway porter, in the course of his duty, passed through the carriage looking for luggage, and incidentally, trifles left behind by passengers. So many empty bottles taken from the carriage mentioned were assembled among the “lost” property, that count was made, and it was then found, that the occupants had left behind 16 quart beer “empty” bottles. As a bystander remarked, enough liquor had been consumed to ensure the passing of a unanimous vote that trips to Bluff were a success. ■
