A San Francisco Call feature recalls Samuel Foote and Theodore Hook as leading masters of repartee. Foote, famed as the English Aristophanes, answered insults with sharp wit and rarely smiled at his own jokes.

Vatican allows cycling amid bishop dispute
The Vatican remains silent while French priests ride bicycles in districts where they commonly travel. The scene contrasts with a country example at Christ's Hospital where Bluecoat boys run laps around a playground. The cure keeps up his skits, and a source observer notes the quaint image as garments bunch at the waist.
