LARRIKINISM.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR. Sin, — One of the latest developments of our larrikin element, who, by tho way, liavo been lying dormant for some time, came out in the shepe of (I suppose some would call it a practical joke) clothes swapping. A few of our residents last Tuesday wore scouring the country for missing garments of various shapes and sizes, from a pair or socks to a night shirt, tfome of them were found to have been appropriated by a horse in an a Ijoiaing paddock, who, probably, was trying his best to emulate the latest in rational dress, judging by the way he had bedecked himself with nearly all the wearing apparel of our opposite sex. The only part the horse seemed to have forgotten was to put on his outer garments. on 9 th'Dg, however, if the ladies would only adopt the latest in dress as calmly as the horse apparently did his, it would soon become general. I spent a tolerable while hunting for a lost garment which was ultimately rescued si amended from a telegraph wire. I am, etc., Settler, Birmingham, August lltb, 1895.
