he ,made his flst bow 10 a Hull audience at Mr
hengler's benefit on Monday night: He has earned
the right 10 be cOnsdcTor the best jester OF tne uhY
and Is universally deemed So lie is a ready, oriel'
nal WIT His wIttici,m are not mere meaningless
absurdiies, which create laughe by reason OF lner
beng sheer nonsense alone, but they are cnarac g.
terIzed by good seLse aud some degree OF
truth. HIS wit has the additional merit OF being
eveed at abuses and 70 lies which really exist. M his
delivery has improved since we heard him last and
his droll sayings lose none OF their enectlVeness,
through ndistinct utieranee hls popularity, II
seems, has uOt been impaired by time. our towns
