A TRIO.
[Air—"Three Blind Mice.">[
Three new peers!
Good ev'ry one!
A. Borthwick, Plunket, H. de Wums,
Are all conservatively chums,
We hail with cheers in our col-lums
The Three New Peers!
Query from a Correspondent.—Please, Sir, can you tell me where I can obtain a work entitled "Balmy on the Crumpet"? I have heard it frequently mentioned, but up to now have searched the lists at the British Museum and (with the exception of the works of one "Balmez, a Theologian,") all in vain. I presume the work in question is a treatise on some department of the baking industry. Is there also another work entitled Balmy on the Muffin? In fact, I should very much like to collect all the treatises of this author on bakery.—Yours, Old Rowley.
"Over!"—At last "Grace before wicket" has received his five thousand pounds' worth of shilling testimonials, and has returned thanks to the indefatigable Sir Edward Lawson, who initiated and carried out the idea in the Daily Telegraph. Your health, Dr. Grace, and song, which of course would be "Sing O the Green Willow!" And his motto, "There's nothing like leather!" Will the celebrated batsman give a ball to celebrate the occasion?
