HOKITIK A.

The O.M. is busy taking votes forthe greatest flir.s in the town. F.T., J. J., M.1., and D.H, of the sterner sex, run a dead heat for first place... J.C. of the fair six beats all other competitors easily... Who is the pretty waitress that carries ' pudding in her pocket i'or P.T.?...H0w hardit was for D.A. and H.R. to part when he went away. liow many last kisses did he give her ?...T.B. is not quite sure who plays first fiddle to Miss F. since W.R. came back from Melbourne. Never mind, old boy, make some more furniture. I see the boys and some of the girls aro in severe training for the Caledonian sports. They wear such little boots, No. one's— one hide, ono boot. ..Miss M.H. and and Miss T.S. are going for the Maiden Race. Miss A.K. and Miss A.A. will try thenhand at throwing the hammer. Miss J. and Miss K.S. will go for the Sack Race, and I he.ir that two teams at least of the fair sex will compete in the tug of war. ..Scene. Revell-street : Time, 9 p.m. Volunteers just dismissed. O.M. walking behind two young ladies. Young lady, No. 1 : How nice those volunteers look ?' Young lady, JNo. 2: 'Don't they! just too lovely!' No. 1 ; ' I would like to have one.' No. 2 : 'So would I.' ...M.0.8. and S.M.G-. are * very quiet just now; no new mashers in town ; never mind, there will be plenty during the holidays. By-the-bye, what is poor O.M. going to do with himself at Christmas ? He would liKe to have dinner at M.0.8.'b restaurant. I daresay she would make a pudding on purpose for him if he would come. Never mind, 0.M. , we'll hang out somewhere, perhaps MoGoldrick's Club Hotel...The O.M. has spotted two new buds just out. Miss E.E. and Miss L.R... J.W. was doing a mash with E.E. , and T.R. takes care of L.R....The O.M. has noticed a brother @.M. at Masterton, asking what is to be done with our girls. O.M. would be glad if he would send him one. The only thing I am particular about being the age. She must not be under nine nor over ninety. Weight no objeot...lt was too, bad of J.L. to keep M.K. waiting two hours in Cass Square for him. Some of the O. readers want to know if the O.M. has any rule in his writing. Yes, he always puts the gentlemen's initials nrst... lt was too bad of F.T. to let B.M. walk the street all night while he was smoking cigars, and* flirting with a pretty girl at the Cafe.
