Answers-to-Correspondents.

A. T-d-pe.—We have been unable to ascertain the name of the inventor of those postcards of which the address side may be used for other matter also. The College letter-rack is, as you say, certainly much open to the public gaze.

J. G-h-m— We agree with you that the presence of a melodramatic company at the Opera House, just before the contest for the Plunket Medal, was a fortunate coincidence. You have not yet, however, developed quite the "abandon" of a first-class hero, but show promise of future greatness in that direction.

M-y M-ll-r — Yes, a dose of Woods' Peppermint Cure taken just before lectures will relieve that irritating cough of yours, which always comes so inconveniently in the middle of a professorial sentence. We have had several complaints already about the draughtiness of the College passage ways.

W. G-ll-d-rs—We are pleased to hear of the formation in our midst of a really up-to-date matrimonial bureau. Your notice in the hall stating that you can "put all applicants is the way of an engagement" proves beyond doubt that the president is the right man in the right place. To judge from appearances your scheme seems already to have proved entirely successful.

Pr-f-r-M-z-e—We are sorry that lack of space for bide us to insert your "Principles of Flea-Hunting—A Philosophical study in the Manner of Carlyle," which so enthralled the English class.
