NEW SONG Air — "King of the Cannibal Islands." THE Fostive Season approaches fast ; Bringing back recollections of the past, And the query is tho same as hist — Where shall we spend our Christmas? Some to Melbourne will go to see the Duke, Though he might come here just by a fluke. The invitation Committee great pains they took, But the Princo 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 Christmas. The Proprietors of the CORINTHIAN HALL Aware that Soft Goods in price must fall, Are, as usual, the first to open the ball And give you bargains at Christmas. Knowing tho quantity that sure to go, They have chartered the Otago and Omeo, And have also arranged with the Rangitoto Back to Melbourne direct to go. The Alhambra is also under charter, And they have secured the services of every Carter Iv Hokitika to look after The 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 the crowd to meet, Which will account for their absence in the 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 Diggen one and all A Merry and Happy Christmas. C 0 R I N T H I~A N HALL, J. F.
