SCARCELY WORTH WHILE.--For some personal remarks on the Prince of WALES, utterly gratuitous and in the worst possible taste, the _P. M. G._, as we hear, has been dropped by the Service Clubs, and subsequently by the Turf. As a mark of strong disapprobation this was right enough, but if it was intended as a punishment which would inflict loss, we are inclined to think such boycotting may have had exactly the contrary effect. How happy was THACKERAY'S title "_The Pall Mall Gazette_ written by gentlemen for gentlemen!" If it is not so now, what have we got in-STEAD? * * * * * Philosophy at the Popping Crease. "The glorious uncertainty?" why, to be sure That it _must_ be the slowest should see at a glance, For Cricket, as long as the sport shall endure, _Must_ be in its nature a mere game of chance. "'Tis all pitch and toss;" one can show it is so;-- 'Tisn't science or strength rules its losses or winnings. Half depends on the "pitch"--of the wickets, you know, The rest on the "toss"--for first innings. * * * * * "GOOD BUSINESS."--An advertiser in the _Daily Chronicle_ of the 12th inst., has not a bad idea of a fair profit:-- BABY-CARRIAGE Bassinette, unsoiled; 4 rubber-wheels, carriage-springs, reversible hood, handsome rug, complete, £27; cost £4 10_s._, last month. Mrs. W. If "Mrs. W." has not already obtained her price, we sincerely wish she may get it. She deserves it. * * * * * "THE BANCROFT SCHOOL."--On Saturday last Prince ALBERT VICTOR laid the foundation-stone of the new buildings at Woodford. This sounds promising for the Theatrical Profession. Of course Mr. BANCROFT will take the male pupils, and Mrs. BANCROFT will instruct "the Spindle side." * * * * * SARAH B. at the Lyceum, under the management of M. MAYER. May 'er season be successful! * * * * * [Illustration: "LE MONDE OÙ L'ON S'AMUSE." _She._ "BY THE BYE, I MET YOUR BROTHER AT DINNER LAST NIGHT. SUCH A DELIGHTFUL PARTY! _SUCH_ A DINNER!! _SUCH_ FLOWERS!!!" _He._ "INDEED! WHERE _WAS_ IT?" _She._ "AT THE--A--THE--A----UPON MY WORD, I REALLY _FORGET_ WHOSE HOUSE IT WAS I WAS DINING AT!"] * * * * * A DAY OUT. (By Jacques Junior.)
