ENTRE NOUS.

— Thmc is nota bad 1 jmtn about S — 's triplets.

— Fancy mistaking a pircei of dolls for a parcel of la jdl^'rogramtnes.

— I notice, thaj; Johnny Sheehan is still giyen the prefix of "Honorable 5*5 * by the Herald flunkies. , ,

—It ,is'nt pleasant to be caught napping.

— Ths other night, at the Bachelors' Bull, the curtain dropped too soon,

— Oh, fie ! dear C,

— Promenade concerts appear to be the rage in Hamilton. Would it not be as well to have a little dance music, as well as singing? I'm sure the fair sex would like it.

— What an attractive object the village B. is when disporting himself at lawn tennis. That white hat is so becoming, don't you know.

Any bad play or miss-hit on the part of our friend is made an opportunity for a gallant speech to his fair opponent, such as, "Dear me, I was looking at you, and forgot all about the play. Ha ! ha ! ha !"

— Was it (W)right that a certain young man should monopolise all the ladies who took part in the innocent game of kiss-in-the-ring at Frankton. ?

— Poor Mac says he had nothing to do with the lato trotting race at Hamilton East. His sole reason for keeping behind was for the purpose of looking after the interests of the Life Insurance Company.

— It won't do Mac.

— Ought not the uniform of the band to be dark instead of light ? It's very striking, but too bad of the bandmaster to keep welting away at the drum when one of the members is absent doing a little spooning.

— I wag always under the impression that the proper way to mark a game of billiards was on the board ! Not so with my friend Fraud. He commences at the end of the forms, and waltzes around the room. Rough scores, some of them. Bar mistakes.

— The " good"-looking steward of the Hamilton Bachelor's Ball denies having danced fifteen times with a certain tall young lady.

— Poor Dear !

— I am surprised at Joe being euchred. I thought he was on the right side. Two hours and a half waiting, and then to miss the little charmer, is rather hard ; but the worst out of all waa when he saw her return upon the arm of another. Well, he can be Heen on practice nights.

— I neverintendedthat my remarks about thedaub should bocut up as they have been. It was far from my thoughts to ignore the feelings of the owner. However, I hope to see an improvement in the writing this year

— I hear that the charming little widow intends to take unto herself a partner shortly. I wonder who the fortunate individual ia ?

— D — is of opinion that his signboard is gone with Vialou'a gates.

— I hear that S intends adding another branch of business to his grocery stock.

— The graTel on the footpath between the Commercial Hotel and Mr Breakell's reminds one of bread and butter at a tea fight — bread and scrape.

— Going to a ball in Ireland nowadays is like travelling across Hampstead Heath last Century. The gentlemen go armed to the teeth, and on arrival give up theic revolvers with their greatcoats. This is a fact.

— There will be a chetlp excursion trip to Waikato Heads during the next fortnight.

— For doge.

— Monsieur C&lon does not approve of a Tambouriniet being added to the strength of the Hamilton band.

— Especially when the Band-master's head is made a striking point of by the player.

— That runaway team of bullocks near the Narrows bridge was considerate certainly.

— Instead of breaking the driver's leg three wheel sptkes only were broken.

— Only that, and nothing more.

— The Hamilton East "Ghost" was very prominent in the game of skipping rope at the Frankton Bports.

— Billy Pearce looked immense the other evening with, that delicate little magnolia in his button-hole.

—On New Year's Eve an Hamilton gentleman, whilst taking a nip at a wellknown hostelry, remarked to the landlady that it was the custom of his country to kiss the landlady on New Year's Ere. The' hostess looked aghast, and turned to see if feho worthy intended to carry it into effect. ,

— Poor Fred did'nt try it on. PaTTTOS DUBLKr
