AQUATIC.
To the Editor.
Sir, —I again trespass on yonr kindness by asking you to insert this letter. I would most respectfully draw the Mayor’s attention to the fact that it is a general feeling amongst our ’‘sportive swells” that the Mayor should call a general meeting to take steps towards having our boat represented in the great interprovincial match at Wellington next season. Almost every seaport town will send their representative, and it will be a standing disgrace if we cannot do the same. We have a splendid harbor to practise in, and Dunedin people seem very generous with their subscriptions, vide the Scott Scholarship ! ! I hope, Mr Editor, you will talk to him like a ministering angel about the boating club, I would enlist the Times also in my cause, but they are so full of politics and San Francisco mails, it would be useless trying to get a word in edgeways. As the Yankee says —“Buncombe! We air fed on politick, you bet.”—Yours to start, S|JROKfe. Dunedin, August 19.
