TO-MORROW’S HOLIDAY.
{To the Editor.) Sin,—l would not like to state that our Mayor is suffering from softening of the brain ‘but what-elso can one infer looking at his reasons for requesting Citizens to observe Tuesday afternoon as a holiday ? There is to be no procession here, there is to be no speechmaking, there is to bo no “few do joio”, there is to bo "no nuffiu” yet we are asked to upset the established order of our going out and coming in. I am as loyal as it is possible to be, and I can remain loyal, attend to my affairs and be of some service to the public just as well by observing Wednesday as usua l for my holiday. It would have been different had the “Dook” been coming to or on the Coast, but this proposal to do holiday at a distance with no visible means of holidaying on the spot is ridiculous. Yours,— Trader. [Mr Mathieson is following the course adopted in most of the towns in New Zealand. Ed., E.S.]
