SLEEPY HOLLOW.
1 TO THE EDITOR. Sir,' —I 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 whaleboats” used in the Champion race at Nelson, and in some manner drags in tho gratuitous statement that Nelson suffers from chronic coma and inactivity. Firstly, as to the old whaleboats. Tho Colonist is a boat something like your. Star Club’s Titokowaw*., but a little bigger above water,; with a cockleshell keel. .Secondly, ns to the inactivity of Nelson; I remember a period in the history of Nelson when she made it lively for a musical pedant who now flourishes somewhere over your way.— Yours, &c., Coma. By the Manawatu.
