NEW PLYMOUTH.
Ask M. what ho was doing at the Railway Station the other evening... A "Tradesman's Ball " was held here last week, at which I could observe very few who could concientiously call themselves tradesmen, those present being composed chiefly of cabbies, grocers' assistants, and apprentices, the female part being almost wholly represented by the slavey element. It was, as advertised,, a fancy dress affair, and gome fancy dresses were there without doubt. Youths, in running costuints, &c. It was, however, a great success, notwithstanding the fact that there was a good deal of rowdyism. It is to be hoped that such another tradesman's ball will not take place again for some time... Whoever would have thought that a Burd could have acted the Maori Chief ao well... Ask T. O. how he managed to save that boy from being drowned.
