THAMES TITTLE TATTLE

"What was Saveloy doing out -with D^igKy'sgirl on Sunday evening? If the- W.-iioroHgwafH-baJier gets to hear of it Joe will have, to make tracks.. >fiTh& widow is doing her best to get on the blind side of L» Betting is ton to one she succeeds The Footballers; ■ put on enough side on landing from the steamer, oit Sunday afternoon, to sink a ship. A stranger woulct have thought they had been up and be.vten the Auckland rep?., instead of playing a drawn game with an upcountry team. I guess they were sold at the plucky stand Te Aroha made. The athletic drapers and the juvenile members of the Club were quite honoured afc being allowed to carry the carpet bags of the tenra What was Horsey's reason for not going to the Dress Ball, especially as he went to the trouble oBjM getting the rig made The gay young baker waag| highly flattered at being noticed in the Observer la.atssi week. He said if he knew who the correspondent was* he would go and give him some of his best cornet selections. Spare me from such torture! How nicelyDarkie had hia moustache curled last Sunday 1 If you. get running after Adam's girl you will soon have nomoustache at all ; it will be all pulled out. E. says Willie is the nicest young man on the Thames ; he is so> flour(y) in his speechi T. is back amongst us to renew his flirtation with G. Joe will have to take a back seat now A visitor going to the Scotia Hall on a Thursday evening would think it was a free and easy, instead! of a Quadrille Assembly. I should advise the M.C. to> stop step-dancing, smoking, and balancing feats (there is plenty of room for these things outside), at any rate, whilst females are present Harris, ihe unfortunateengineer of the dredge, seems to have had some forecast that somethins was going to happen him, as he? mentioned to some of his fellow-boarders that ho would;, come to an untimely end. and a fsw days after he wasdrowned. [Draw it mild, old fellow ; such a yarn i& only fit for the marines, not mariners.— Ed.] What marine monster is that C. has got in his yard ? Chris. SQ3's that's the ship, no fear of it sinking Who wa& the pretty nurse girl Sam was ogling the other afternoon? You are old enough to be her grandfather,. Sammy Has the Spider and B. succeeded in floatingtheir company? Freddy looked quite too utterly utter with that red guernsey on at the scratch niateto. last Saturday. If you want to be conspicuous you have--succeeded, doctor. Our friend, Dr P., mnsfc be getting on in the? world ; he no longer leaves his bills at the door, likethebaker, without even the extravagance of an envelope^ — a piece of primitive simplicity we greatly adinire — Imt he actually sends tlieai stamped by post ! Surely the millennium must be at hand, or else business i& ■ , prospering to an alarming extent. We presunio the? . doctor never thought of handing round his little ac- : ' counts at any social gathering he might attend ? We* throw out this cheap idea as a hint to the profession.... Scene— Row of boys waiting at Star office for papers to* sell. Lady: " Are the Stars out yet, my boy ?" Sharp • larrikin : " You can see for yourself, ma'am, if you look: up." Adam P. has returned to' the bosom of hisfamily and Thames admirers, but has failed to bring;' the £5000 with him from Wellington. The Chairman* must have known' it was a bad case, or he would havessent a bigger gun to fire off at Ministers. Never mind I plenty of pickings out of the " Roads and Bridges Construction Act." P. ought to take a few lessons from, Owen before he sings again at the open air meeting Humour hath it that the Exhibition and L. are going t©> do it shortly Where were the police that they allowed thOße Irishtown hoodlums to carry on so i*t,7gracefully on Saturday night? The next time the young ladies at H.s establshment are arranging theixr toilette they ought to pull down the blind B. of the Waiotahi, looks awfully sad since the red-haired lass* has left How loving Janet and Taaman looked going out to KiriJtiri on Thursday evening Andrew, themilk boy, always seems happy when he comes into*town singing " I'll be all smiles to-night, dear mother." How is it Dick Dovell did not put in an appearance at the Tararu dance till late ? It was too bad of him to* keep that girl out in the cold, and not to let her go inandf enjoy herself The young ladies of JEirikiri arecomplaining of the place being dull. The boys ought toget up a dance and amuse them. Te Aboha. — On Saturday, at fire o'clock, per s.s. Despatch, the Thames Football Club sent a, team to Te Aroha to do battle with, the burly inhabitants of " Lovp Mountain." The Te Arohans were qaptained by Whitaker, and the Thames men by Steward. After a hard-fought game it resulted in a draw slightly itt favour of Te Aroha. The Thames team were enter" tamed in tVe evening by the Te Aroha Club, tho members of which exerted themselves to the utmost to make their visitors' short stay a pleasant one. The> Thames men returned home on Sunday, highly pleasea <,- [ with their trip. The Union (Auckland Club) plays v Shortlaud on the Bth. I suppose the Shortlanaers, with their usual lack, will be licked.
