PUNCH, OR THE LONDON CHARIVARI.—April 20, 1889.

AN EASTER HOLIDAY!

Mr. Speaker [just looking in), “TA-TA! I’M OFF !—HOPE YOU’LL ENJOY YOUR HOLIDAY!”

“Mister” Rosebery [Chairman L.C.C.). “PRECIOUS LITTLE HOLIDAY! THE COUNTY COUNCIL’S SENDING-
ME OUT TO BATTERSEA PARK WITH ‘ NUTS AND GINGERBEER ’ ! ! ”

[On the Report of the Parks and Open Spaces Committee recommending the Council to take into its own hands the providing refreshments in
Battersea Park, one Hon. Member hoped the Council wasn’t going to “deal in nuts and gingerbeer; ” but Lord Meath, while doubting whether the
Resolution required them to actually sell the goods with their own hands, yet considered that the Council ought to do what they could to provide first-
class refreshments at the cheapest prices for those going into the Parks.]
