REDUCTIO AD AB3URDUM. (the reducing of a position to a logical'absurdity). the prince at windy and smoky wellington. Official Telegram, 10th May, 1920. The Right lion. W. F. MaSSJy. Wellington, — My people are highly amused to note that you have stated Wellington fakes the record to date for "enthusiasm." Well, this is easily accounted for,, as it resembles a smoky, tortuous underground railway, with numerous junctions, and echo reproduces on-3 hundred per cent, more than produced. My people also note that the Prince, after the foregoing "enthusiasm," had to recuperate at the Savage and other clubs owing to Wellington's l.mited air space, which resembles a stockyard. Of course, you know that Auckland is one of the most charming cities on the face of the earth, and requires no boosting, but I suppose your decisions will now be like the "sailor's last storm as being the worst," but revised to "best" as you travel South. The retreat from Rotorua through the mud owing to a trilling disagreement must have disheartened you, and reminded you of Napoleon's from Moscow through'snow. It is also staled the Minister of PublicWorks had a lively time in getting the accumulated grime removed from the statue of our dear old Queen before her great-grandson arrived, so as not to frighten him, and it is now decorated with laurel and purple ribbons, and by the time this reaches you they have resumed Wellington's only outstanding colour, "Smoky Black.". How are you situated for Champion Muscle and Courage Raiser Fiour and Standard OatnieaJ, Rolled /Oats and Gruel Meal, known as the Soothers?— With kind regards, For and on behalf of my people, v., 238 AUCKLAND.
