Answers to Correspondents.

Sketch of men standing in a row

R-v W--d.—Your interesting and instructive little work on ""Manners for the Library" to hand. It should be welcomed eagerly by the reading public, supplying, as it does, a long-felt want. We have derived much profit from it.

"We always knew we ought to be

Quite silent in the Library;

But now there comes another trial;

'Tis said we must not even smile.'

M- -ck-rs-y.— Perhaps the quotation you were thinking of is, "The best laid schemes of mice and men gang aft a-gley."

B-tt-n.—Your principles do you credit. Why should tne sordid and mercenary element predominate in these matters? "Votes for Gentlemen" by all means.

G. M. CI - gh - rn and G. C. J - cks - n.—Pay no attention to the unpleasant remarks of Grey and Nicholls on the subject of "ringing-in." As you point out, the end justifies the means, and surely all will recognise that at all costs the Honour of the School must be upheld.

"Enquirer."—Who is the most important member of the Stud. Ass. Exec? Ask the Secretary.

P - W. B - rb - dge.—Yes; Anderson Park is rather near town. Why not try golf, and gO to Miramar?

Mr. .G - ldsb - - g.—We cannot assist you in the matter of "Liebe Lina." No Agony Column in the Spike.

Pr - f. v - n Z - dl - tz.—No. you can hardly leave off 'now without offending the man.

F. L - G. W - st.—Sorry you had that trouble with your boots; but as the guard said, "All luggage bigger than the space beneath the seat must be shifted to the guard's van."

N'Importe.—Strongly advise you to put a bulletin your tiger, evidently not so tractable a beast as the lions of Mr. Daniell's den. By the way, why not "tigress"?
