NEW SONG Air — " King of the Cannibal Islands." THE Festive Season approaches fast ; Bringing back recollections of the past, Aud the query is the same as last — Where shall we spend our Christmas f Some to Melbourne will go to see the Duke, Though he might come hare just by a fluke. The invitation Committee great pains they took, But tho Prince replied, Yes " wid a hook." So now it seems they have shelved the question And gone in strong for Beach protection, To save the Town for the large collection Who'll come here to spend their Christinas. The Proprietors of the CORINTHIAN HALL Aware that Soft Goods in price must fall, Are, as usual, the first to open the ball And givo you bargains at Christmas. : Knowing the quantity that sure to go, / They have chartered the Otago and Omeo, i And have also arranged with the Eangitoto / Back to Melbourne direct to go. The Alhambra is also under charter, And they have secured tho services of every Carter In Hokitika to look after Tho Stock they're landing for Christmas. If to Hokitika you should go, And think the place looks rather slow Just drop into J. F. BYRNE and CO., Which will banish the illusion. For there you're sure tho crowd to meet, Which will account for their absence in tho street, < Be sure they are buying a Suit complete, And Boots which for months ensure dry feet. But in case you should forget to call, They remind you of the CORINTHIAN HALL, And wish you Diggers one and all A Merry and Happy Christmas. C 0 R I N T H I~A N HALL, J. F.
