"It seems silly to me,"

Sneers Westgate-on-Sea,

"Humph! I think it quite real:

That I do!" replies Deal,

"And they think so on shore,"

Says the Light at the Nore,

"Well, now it's all over,

Thank goodness!" says Dover.


A Note full of Gaiety.—Loyal Love, the new piece at the Gaiety, requires a little compression. If the Authoress would only reduce it to one Act, and have that single scene supplied with a few catchy songs, there really is no reason why it should not serve some day as a very effective lever de rideauat the Savoy, as a capital foil to a Comic Opera. For the rest, Mrs. Basil Potter has greatly improved, Mr. Willard is (as usual) excellent, but the remainder of the company are unimportant. Scenery good, and dresses adequate.
