WE WANT TO KNOW WHY THE AUTHORITIES AT BRIGHTON, SO SENSIBLE AND CONSIDERATE IN KEEPING THE PLACE FREE FROM THE DETESTABLE ORGAN-GRINDERS, SHOULD PERMIT THE TERRIBLE NUISANCES INDICATED ABOVE? FRESH PRAWNS, WHITING, OYSTERS, OR WATER-CRESS, ARE CAPITAL THINGS IN THEIR WAY, AND WE SHOULD THINK THAT THE JADED MAN OF OCCUPATION, OR THE INVALID, WOULD VERY MUCH RATHER SEND TO A RESPECTABLE SHOP FOR SUCH DELICACIES, THAN HAVE THEM "BELLOWED" INTO HIS EARS MORNING, NOON, AND NIGHT.] [Illustration: _NOT A DOUBTFUL RACE._ THE RAILWAY ENGINE AND THE FOXHUNTER--WHAT IT MUST COME TO.] [Illustration: _SHOEBURYNESS._ _Captain Limber, R.A._ "HAVING PLACED OUR BURSTER AND PREPARED OUR PERCUSSION FUSE, WHICH, YOU REMEMBER, EXPLODES BY THE SIMPLE FALL OF THE NEEDLE--WE PROCEED TO * * * *." (PROFESSOR DABBLES _quite sees that the Artillery is a Service of itself, and having an appointment at the Megatherium, hurries off by the train._)] [Illustration: _SHOCKING INCIDENT IN REAL LIFE._ _Enter Bachelor Brother (who has come from a long day of business)._ "THAT CONFOUNDED ORGAN, AGAIN! ALTHOUGH I TOLD HIM TO GO! BUT--PHEW!!--MY DEAR REBECCA, WHAT DREADFUL ODOUR IS THIS IN THE ROOM?" (_The truth is, Rebecca has had the Grinding Ruffian to sketch from._)] [Illustration: _A DAY WITH THE STAG._--No. I. TOM NODDY DOESN'T TAKE HIS OWN HORSE WITH HIM, AS HE THINKS IT IS BETTER TO HIRE A HORSE ACCUSTOMED TO THE COUNTRY. THE GROOM ASSURES HIM THAT HE COULDN'T BE BETTER MOUNTED, FOR THE HORSE IS VERY FAST, WITH TRE_MEN_DJUS JUMPING POWER. No. II. * * * IT IS A BEAUTIFUL FIND, AND T. N. GETS WELL AWAY WITH THE HOUNDS. THE FIRST FIELD IS A LARGE PASTURE, AND HE AND HIS HORSE AGREE WONDERFULLY. OUR LITTLE FRIEND THINKS THERE IS NOTHING LIKE A GRASS COUNTRY--UNTIL HE COMES. No. III. TO THIS PRETTY THING--OVER WHICH HE AND THE HORSE (WITH TRE_MEN_DJUS JUMPING POWER) GO, AND ENTER THE NEXT FIELD IN. No. IV. THE FOLLOWING ORDER:--T. N. 1 HIS HORSE 2] [Illustration: _A PLEASANT PROSPECT._ _Little T.

WE LIKE THE HORGINS!]" [Illustration: No. II. OVER THE WAY--THE INVALID.] [Illustration: _OUT OF HIS ELEMENT._ THAT AWFUL SWELL PERCY DE GOSLING FINDS HIMSELF BY ACCIDENT AT BRIGHTON ON WHIT-MONDAY. HIS NERVES HAVE BEEN TERRIBLY SHOCKED. ALREADY HE HAS BEEN ASKED IF HE WANTED ANY TEA-ACCOMMODATION; AND NOW A BOATMAN REQUESTS HIM TO "JINE THIS PARTY, AND MAKE UP THE 'ARF DOZEN FOR A ROW."] [Illustration: _LE SPORT._
