r,OMMUNIOATION.
OARMYAL,
tha Ibditor of TUE Poor.
DEAR lint,—"Fair Play" is of that 'ilk
that dies hard under defeat. Had his
ocutsina, uncles and aunts figured as prizo
winners ail 0.If.
"But it is his natures plague
To spy into shorten ; and oft his jealousy
Shapes (suite that are not."
Osledonianiem le a hard pill for him to
swallow, therefore ho attempts to besmirch
it with his venom. Look out F.P. we stand
close by the Thietlo Society and while wip-
ing away this stain expose to you the old
motto ou bis stingers, "Handle me not or
woe to your fingers." The three minute
exhibit, so distastoful to Fair Play, was in-
tentionally introduced to fill up when other
preparations ware goin5 on and was press-
ed forward by special request of the man -
agora and, aside from the Fair Play family
pleased everybody. Dancing exhibitions
in the garb of old Gael command the high
est figures and admiration on any rink or
platform. While lbue proudly boasting a
front rank any attempt of Pair Play to
cl ampion his ideas or Wreak his spleen by
tabooing Caledonisnism as a side show
noeie.neewill be speedily resented. glad
our rink authorities known that a real,
live, pine swamp ice graduate actually had
settled in our midst no doubt they would
rebuild and run this fink to suit him. Just
fancy this know-all critio and advisor wast-
ing his sweetness on a rabbledom rink club
when otherwise he might return to cutting
of figures, streaking his native swamps like
forked lightening in his mad chase after
fire -bags, keeping the lonely beaver awake
on his midnight vigils. Imagine the grand
bull frog orchestra perching on the frozen
Iogs end stumps listening in deep silence
for the thundering sound of his No. 28
skates, to which the root ! toot I of their
tenor, basso voices were yearly tuned. To
follow the woodchuck and squirrel into
their solemn holes is too utterly aad to pur-
sue, let him go back to his native haunts
to the bosom of tho Fair Play family,
Yours, &a.,
