Multem in Parvo—or Vice Versa

We beg to acknowledge an advanced copy of Tilden Vanquished, or the Triumph of Brute Strength and Ignorance," by our most conspicuous star in the teennis firmament T—pie. Chapters of this enthralling contribution to tennis literature will be given from the courts by the author during the season.

We rejoice to hear that E. T. N—th—ft has resumed his seat before the microscope. His unflagging activities on behalf of the students, even to the entertaining of the basketball team to a sumptuous repast of the succulent bivalve, will be remembered for many moons to come.

The executive announce that M—k M—r will represent them at the next annual oyster opening competition to be held at Bluff. A subscription list to provide our ambidextrous expert with a pitch-fork, a carving knife and a steam roller, has been opened. It is our sincere wish that, when the great day arrives, he will show true gymnasium form.

Our readers will regret to hear that the South Island proved too much for one of our All Blacks. Whitebait at Greymouth, oysters at Bluff, and the hero-worship of the fair autograph hunters in Christchurch, were responsible for his indisposition on his return to Wellington. For advice on South Island tours, apply to R. H. C. M—K—zie.

We are glad to be able to report that our friend, We—sh, has recovered from his temporary absent-mindedness. At a recent dance, renunciation of his orchestral obligations caused some astonishment. Since then, however, his quiet and healthful pursuits among the cabbages and chrysanthemums of a friend have worked wonders.

We have just heard that A. D. Pr—ly is, this season, taking up the javelin. We tremble for Lay; but suggest that D—n should refrain from taking his exercise in the gymnasium with sugar lumps during supper.
