"The pastor of the ---- Congregational Church has been ordered
by his medical adviser to take a rest. The rev. gentleman
is therefore spending a fortnight's holiday in
Ireland."--_Provincial Paper._

"During the period of waiting before the bridal party
appeared, the organist played Wagner's 'Bridal Chorus,' and
'Cradle Song' (Guilmant)."--_West Country Paper._
The organist seems to have been rather a forward fellow.

With the Polo-season imminent we feel that we must not withhold from
intending players the admirable and disinterested advice given in an
Indian Trade circular:--
"The skill of a polo player lies in his well management of
horse in the turmoil of Play. Ill-weighed Polo sticks make the
situation worse if the horse is not so kept.
We try our best to construct Polo sticks in such a way as
may help the player in the blur of game and put him in a more
progressing mood.
Make a real pleasure of your game and not labour as other
sticks than ours would tend to make it. A fond player would
like to give anything for a good stick."
