CAMP-LIFE AT WIMBLEDON.

Private Smith determines ro “Camp” at Wimbledon this Year, and
FINDS HE CANNOT POSSIBLY GO DOWN WITHOUT A FEW NECESSARIES.

[ Volunteers are requested to make their baggage as small as possible.

First Night, thinks there is a Draught through
the Canvas. Makes use of his Bath.

Cannot go to Sleep. Fancies Ants, Spiders,
Earwigs, and other Creeping Things.

Doesn’t at all like Getting Up when the Bugle Sounds.
“Can’t I have another Five Minutes?”

Is obliged to give up his Bath. No
Room in the Tent, and doesn't “see”

HAVING IT OUT IN THE OPEN.



Is on Fatigue Duty, and helps to fetch the
Water, &e.

Scarcely knows what to do with
himself all day, as he does not
Shoot.

And thinks the best Time is the Convivial Gathering in the Evening.


Slight Mistake.

Country would-be Visitor to the Opera, who has made a mistake arid
selected a fashionable tailor's instead qf a second-hand emporium. Oil, I
say, do you. “ let out ” dress coats ?

Affable Shopman. Honly when they’re too small, Sir.

The Political Preacher.

“ A Preacher I am of political righteousness
To my countrymen,” John Bright at Limerick said.

Then righteous is Brighteous and righteousness Brighteonsness.
Else he Brighteonsness preaches in righteousness5 stead.
