M.S PUNCH.
SL^ TO THE EDITOR OS" THB STAR. Sir, — In these days of calculation scarcely anything of importance is undertaken without the aid of tables. If a road be proposed from Christchurch to Riccarton, traffictables are immediately prepared to show a sympathy between the Ricketies and the Flats, and the immense consumption of liquids that would ensue at Dilloway's, and the constant interchange in the event of there being a line to take in the Kicketies provided it should be a line that the Flats could also be got into. If a Fijian Company (limited) be started, tables are instantly in requisition to prove, that, for a sum paid down at once, a handsome profit will be made, unless the shareholders should happen to outlive the Society, which may, by accident, go off very suddenly, in such case the chances of the shareholders would be (very limited) indeed I Your obedient servant, . ONE OF THE SEMI-PRIVATES^^
