" SLEEPY HOLLOW."
Under the above heading the two following letters appeared iv the JV. Z. Times of the 2od and 3rd instant:— Sir —l wish these facetious people would feel their way before they perpetrate jokes. A writer in a Wellington evening paper, published on Friday last, is very satirical about the "old whalebcatß" used in the Champion race at Nelson, and in some manner drags in tlie gratuitous statement that Nelson suil'eis from chronic coma and inactivity. Firstly, as to the old whalebonts. The Colonist is a boat something like your Star Club's Titokowaru, but a little bigger above water, with a cockleshell keel. Secondly, as to the inactivity of Nelson I remember a peiiod in the history of NeUon when she made it lively for a musical pedant who now flourishes somewhere over your way. —Yours, &c, Coma. By tho Manawatu.
