AMUSING INCIDENT.
An amusing incident occurred at the welcome given Admiral -Jellicoe in Geraldine. After the speech-making, and while the Admiral was chatting with several of the ladies and gentlemen who were introduced to him, the Mayor mounted the platform and stated that he had been asked to announce that someone had lost a purse. The Admiral was quick to notice the humour of the situation, and immediately getting on the platform said: “ Ladies and gentlemen, I wish you to know that 1 have not got the purse. ” The crowd thoroughly appreciated the joke, and roared with laughter.
