GLIMPSES AT THE DOMAIN.
To the Editor of the AJcaroa Mail
Sib, —Allow me to correct the educated gentleman who was so profuse in shewing off his Latin in his description of certain works in the Domain. Surely his sight must have been clouded, not by the water from the squirt, as he describes (for at present there is nope), and the hiccupping
from the hydraulic ram must have been caused from mixtures connected with the gasbgene, as he says. The jet was not one-twentieth of the strength of the gasogene, for he mistook a force pump for an hydraulic ram, which is not in action yet. Surely this is vandalism As regards the construction of a grotto, the smiling architect anticipates the return from the educated gentleman of the shells from which the fish have been extracted, paying the architect for them, so as to have no need to " remember the grotto," and I would thank him not to be so free in future with my name, but to try and obtain the reward offered.—Yours truly, E. W. MOREY.
