Gully-ver.—Mr. Balfour's decision as to not disturbing the Speaker in his uneasy chair was e-gully awaited, and is, it is hoped, accepted e-gully by all parties. So now, in his chair, Mr. Gully will reign re-gully.


Latest Fashion.—Bicycle dinners and suppers have been the vogue. Pièce de résistance is of course "Cold Wheel." This dish is selected because whatever the number "wheel" is sure to go round.


LEAVE OF ABSENCE TO AUGUST-OUT DALY CO.

Augustin Daly's Company has left us just as play-goers had taken a fancy to Nancy & Co. To paraphrase the old refrain—

And all their fancy
Dwelt upon Nancy
The play called Nancy & Co.

It went as a lively laughter-raiser should go, with Miss Ada Rehan excellent in every way; Miss Maxine Elliot charming; James Lewis inimitably funny, and Mr. Worthing ("quite a Bright'un," as Wagstaff says) capital. That the fun of a farcical comedy should be kept up through four acts is a tribute to the original work and to the skill of its adaptor, Mr. Daly himself. "Vive la Compagnie!" et au revoir!
