The London “ Referee” says: —lt is disheartening to know that at the last drawing-room seven fair aristocrats were turned back by the Lord Chamberlain for being indecently undressed. He is a shortsighted Lord Chamberlain too. It must have been a very fleshy school of adornment indeed to attract his attention. His Honor Judge Ward has had a narrow escape from suffocation while pursuing his duties at Ashburton. The “Guardian” states that at the conclusion of the District Court His Honor enquired if any of those present knew of the existence in Ashburton of an Inspector of Nuisances. There was, he said, a most pestilential stench permeating the atmosphere of the Judge’s robing-room. His Honor is said to have spoken with considerable animation. Two smart looking young girls walked Into Mr McGarry’s shop in Auckland the other day and wanted to know the price of his best Canterbury bacon, as they required a side. The price was given in Mr McGarry’s peculiarly good humoured style, when one of the girls gave him a kick op. the shin, and the other gave him a 11 spanker” on the head with a bunch of turnips. Mr McGarry resented the double affront in a somewhat angry tone, and ordered the fair intruders out of his shop, when a more vigorous onslaught was made on Mr McGarry, which caused him to fall over a keg of butter. He roared for help, but before help came the girls were upon him, one holding a box of ball blue, while the other blued his nose and face, and wrote on the stall-keeper’s back “ Conquered at last.” The two boys Tozer, whose escape from the Burnham Industrial School, we chronicled in a late issue, managed on Thursday to again effect their escape. A mounted constable pursued and overtook them at Chertsey. It was the boys intention to make direct for their home at Albury. They have once more been sent back to the School.
