The Picnic.

The picnic was held on Saturday evening, and was w huge success in every respect. Among those present we noticed F. A. de la mare in a beaming smile and no hat at all; in fact, everyone noticed him. The steamer left with admirable punctuality, so that many undesirables, including J. B. Parker, were left lamenting on the wharf. So we rejoiced noisily, and even contrived something in the way of a dance until we reached Portobello, whence we made our way inland, to find a tent, tremendously stocked with provisions. After supper, the respective Colleges arose in the might, and in turn made night hideous with song and haka. Them, somewhat weary, but at peace with all the world, we retraced our steps to the steamer.
