Pebbles and Contested Verses in a Bygone Era
A collage of antiquated notices and anecdotes notes a doggerel about Mrs. Matilda Osborne, hints at authorship disputes, and pans various ills from boot trade wrangles to rail accidents. It mentions Rottnest Island’s beauty, 3000 children in a school athletic demonstration, and Sweden v New York on the America Cup, with cabalistic clues about a Camden Town murder and a vast West map exhibit.
