Bore happier lads away.


Ah, Public! You this Summer's heat

Have felt at Pleasure's marts;

Think how you'd like it in the street,

Before it quite departs!


A Real Sporting Event.

Arrow-throwing is said to be the latest new sport—in Yorkshire. Newer even than Frog-spearing in France! What next? Perhaps "Javelin-men" will soon mean something modern, and not perfunctory. Then "Hatchet-throwing"—in a sense having no relation to travellers' taradiddles—may become the vogue; and Mr. Hanbury, who is so much concerned about the Salary of the Master of the Hawks, may move in the House to have it transferred to a new and actual public functionary—the Master of the Tomahawks.
