STRATFORD GYMKHANA.

Are you bored? Does life seem to have nothing further to offer you in the way of new sensations? Do you fool that you have exhausted all your energies hitherto in tho vain pursuit of a bubble, whoso name is pleasure? Would you like to feel that “joie do vivre,” that feeling that life is 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 over been your lot to behold, whore may 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 tho contests between _ noble cqnines, to see them emulating tho endeavours of their masters and straining every nerve and sinew almost to breaking point; to see tho wonderful sagacity and almost superhuman command that tho collie dog, man’s best friend, has over tho stubborn and obstreperous sheep; how, at a word, he will scamper far afield, will lie down or stand perfectly still, until tho master’s object is achieved? Then, when these contests have excited; enlivened and enlightened yon, would it not bo a fitting end to such a glorious pageant to see an exhaustively humorous, magnificently conceived, wonderfully executed, burlesque of the latter event? All this can bo seen next Easter Monday. The contests will bo a nervous pick-me-up, a- tonic of tonics, and. in fact, tho aquapura of all medicines. The above is what the Stratford Gymkhana will do for all readers next Easter Monday, April 13. Get there! Don’t miss it.
