THE PRESS CORRESPONDENT.
To the Editor of the Akaroa Mail.
Sir, —My attention having been called to a paragraph by the above, entitled " An Unfortunate Shooting Party," which appeared in the Press of the 9th inst. As the same is incorrect from beginning to end, I should like, through the medium of your columns (yours being the local paper) to correct the gentleman in question, who, after giving the reins to his imagination, winds up by stating " that as it was, they lost one of their guns and both of their horses." In the first place, I may state that we lost neither of our guns and but one cf the horses. The gentleman here tries to be funny when he mentions about having the pigeon stuffed, &c. I may say that I have a large glass case which will just hold a stuffed goose in the shape of a special correspondent, to remind him that this momentous event happened on the 2nd of April, and not, as he imagines, on* his favorite All Fools Day. Yours, &c, ONE OF THE SURVIVORS,
