THE REV. CHARLES CLARK.
In advertising the approaching arrival of the Rev Charles Clark at Launceston, some amusement appears to have been caused by the manner in which the billsticker did his work. The Cornwall Chronicle says : —" Mr Smythe gave instructions for briefly announcing the advent of Mr Clark here. The bills., merely bore the words, " Bev Charles Clark," leaving the rest to the intelligence, imagination, or inquiry of the passers by. These bills are not large enough to cover the full length portraits used for advertising the Baby Benson troupe and the Marionettes, and the billsticker ■: contented himself with placing them at the foot of those very prominent figures. The result is a grand success. In Cameron street, opposite the public buildings, wc have a gigantic clown in a scarlet costume, and cheeks of the same color, labelled as ' Rev Charles Clark.' In George lane, off Patterson street, a remarkably flash Donnybrook-Fair-looking son of the Emerald Isle, with shillelagh under the right arm and a sucking pig under the left, is honored with the dignified cognomen,' Rev Charles Clark.'"
