PREHISTORIC PEEPS.
The Annual Football Match between the Old Red Sandstone Rovers and the Pliocene Wanderers was immensely and deservedly Popular!!
"Hymen Hymenæe!" (À propos of a Public Favourite).—Mr. Punch wishes health and happiness to the bride of Sir William Gregory, known to us all, during a long and honourable theatrical career in the very first line of Dramatic Art, as Mrs. Stirling the incomparable, always of sterling worth in any piece wherein she took a part. She was always at her best. Latterly she has been chiefly associated with the Nurse in Romeo and Juliet, and no better representative of the character could ever have been seen on any stage. Her recent marriage has in it somewhat of a Shaksperian association, for were not the Nurse and Gregory both together in the same establishment, yclept the noble House of Capulet? And what more natural that these two should come together, and "the Nurse to Juliet" should become the "wife to Gregory"?
"Stopping" the Way in the Colonies.—Where British Colonists are first in the field, be the field where it may, it is unwise to allow any non-Britishers to get as far as a semi-colony, but at once they should be made to come to a full-stop. As it is, Great Britain looks on in a state of com(m)a, only to wake up with a note of exclamation, but not of admiration, when it is too late to put a note of interrogation.
