☞ A musical festival comes off in the Garden on New Year’s Eve. The Orchestra consists of two hornpipes and six canary birds. After the festival, “Lamb” will recite his Carriers address. Admittance two pistareens. The Trustees and Batestown visitors on the “freelist.”—Troy Traveler.
How excruciatingly witty the above extract is! If the Traveller man will call upon us, we will present him with a bologna sausage. He must have felt entirely exhausted after such an effort. Poor fellow.
