A nervous man entered a Carterton store with his baby on one arm and an oilcan on the other. He placed the can on the counter, and said gently, “Sib there a moment, dear.” Then holding up the baby to the bewildered shopman, he added, “A gallon of kerosene in this, please.” An Irish “bull” was perpetrated by a member of the committee of the Canterbury Cricket Association the other evening. In explaining the delay which occurred in getting his team in a senior cup match to bat, he remarked, “I told two men to put on their pads in order to get on the field quickly. I then told the next man to put on his pads, but coulld not find him. ” Needless to say the remark was productive of much hilarity.

A passenger by a steamer which recently left these shores was struck by the workmanlike manner in which a baby on board disposed of the contents of its bottle, and the idea occurred to him to get up a f match. Several grownup male passengers entered the lists, and at the baby’s appointed meal time were supplied with feedingbottles filled with claret 'and water. The man who arranged the event went nap on the baby, and his confidence was not misplaced, for the little one had its bottle finished by the time the others were about halfway through.
