ALEXANDRA ARROWS.
What about the three days' batch, Tom ? The 'Big Dog ' has gone to Eawhia, instead of looking after the Arewa as the cooper intended. The champion walker is still doing his thirty miles a day, although heavily handicapped, carrying lOlbs of dough in each pocket. Sage is running the coach to time. Nothing like a good watch-chain, Teddy. Another wedding is on the ' tapis ' between J. and little A. What is the attraction here to bring a prince ? Is it Sergeant Tom's jewellery, or the wearer ? Go slow, Thomas. : . . The Alexandra contingent of the New Zealand Army for the Soudan are all hanging out at the * bird's nest ' at the corner. Scarcity of men. The young Saturday night opposition carter boys should not fancy that their smallness makes them totally invisible. ' With a bottle of Minerva Bill gangs awa' hamei What was the ' Fox's ' idea in digging that big hole in his acre ? Is it for a gate post, or to hide from the scent of the greyhound ? Carpenter Bill will have his fill, For he sticks to the billiards still— And fond George pays the marker — nil. "
