"The scratching of the hydroplane Sutnrise for the Atlantic
Flight Stakes must tempt her captain to change his name from
Sunstedt to Sunsttd."--_Provincial Paper_.

We fear the printer did not appreciate the sub-editor's humour.

"Until they get a barber the Islington Board of Guardians are
employing a gardener to do hair-cutting and shaving work in
his spare time at a remuneration of 1s. 3d. per hour."--_Daily

THE OLD SHIPS.

They called 'em from the breakers' yards, the shores of Dead Men's Bay,
From coaling wharves the wide world round, red-rusty where they lay,
And chipped and caulked and scoured and tarred and sent 'em on their way.

It didn't matter what they were nor what they once had been,
