THE CLOCK AT THE MECHANICS' INSTITUTE.
To tho Editor of tho Evening Star. Sir,—Can you tell me why for tho last week the clock in tho reading-room of the above institution has persistently remained at half-past ten o'clock ? Is it because the secretary has too many important duties to attend to, to wind up this timepiece. If he is " fast" and the institution is slow, it is no reason that the clock should be allowed to remain at a stand-still, to the inconvenience of the subscribers.—l am, &c,
Tempts Eu&it.
[We have heard many complaints of this ; neglect, and of the filthy appearance of tho j timepiece in the reading-room; but the comj mitt, c, like the City Board, arc impervious jto shame, and the " vested interests of the i secretary are safe in their hands. Our correspondent must "grin and bear it."—En. ! E.S.]
