AND ANOTHER SAD SCENE.
To the Editor, of the Evening Star. St a, —It is indeed a sad scene when a person says something which he intends to be cutting and witty, and nobody but himself can see wherein the fun lies. When we take into consideration the great change that has taken place in the routine of conducting an election in this Colony to what it has been previously, I think that the mistake of the Returning Officer, in not bringing a few papers necessary fop the official declaratjoip of the poll, is quite excusable, seeing that it only involved a delay of live minutes. The official declaration of the poll no doubt was unfavorable to Pakeha, junr., winning a new hat, so 1 suppose he thought he would have a hit at somebody, and went over to the Imperial and wrote .the squib that appeared ip yqiir Jast night’s issue. Pakeha, junr, \yill get '‘‘through the world, apd narrowly escape being clever.” Yours, &c, SvtvEssFrn.
