Anent the recent Tory We and gala, I was
talking to • gentleman from London, who is
sufficiently well interested in the Liberal canes here
to ellow of hie aspiring to represent Piiole, and he told
me that he was delighted that the festivities passed off
so well.

This rather surprised me, as / was not, but I am now
Lb ive beard wiia. be had Wear on the matter, which
amounted in brief to this :—'The Liberals of Poole
bare been so ism tstousel to tviderrate their enemies
that anything chewing that Vie latter can make a score
puts a great deal of fresh energy into them."
This remark labour by hour asserting itself to In •
truthful one ; but 1.4 at the affair IrJui another
point of view. Bank Holiday we, the first fine day
we had seen for weeks; few People had Prepared to
bravo the town previous t w the 4th, towing what the
weather might be; 3,000 strangers came into the town
from plsces where nothing was going on ' • and •
command went forth through the etnford highways
" compilling them to come in" who dared not refuse.
Five thousand people went to the Liberal F;te on a
cold, bleak, rainy, windy day, and you could count
the strangers on your fingers ends. Five thousand
Posdr people coming to a b'te on • working clay means
something quite equal to what was 111000 at SWAG.
I rally think that nor the Tories won't forget their
obi friend "hilly Blue," who has done so much for
them. If they don't make him lielleving Officer now,
all I can say is that he deserves the appointment. and
although his legs are ea long, lee won't run away—
besides, he comes of • good old Poole family.

" The Wanderer" offers • prise of a new fourpenny
Ostend h 4 to any reader of this paper who will
suggest some other good purposs t whic.h the Charm•
bury bequest could be applied in Poole. Answer. to
be published next week, with the amino( the successful
competitor.. Talking of Ostend hats, lam tell they
are far commoner in Poole than to Oetend, where ladies
only wear them. HIM everybody has one on.

What a happy (and tail) original) idea that was of
that very rersetile and gay Lothario to christen this
paper by a new name, and try t make everybody
think that the name he wined was universally adoired.
No, no, William. it won't do ; try back my hide-
dent. gaseous, and admiring friend.
P. stands for Penney, Politics, Pea-shooter, and—
Pickles—gaited pickles—neither blue nor yellow
" terrible" nasty•tasted things.

The analysis of grammar is one thing; the onalysis
of drinking wster is another. The f wmer is easily
performed bye school boy of sixteen; the latter in
scumtiAc operation, which for the future will he
thought Atha more of when it is not conducted in
Pole.
