Sydney Squirbs on sport and society and ship of fools
A rambling column in Sydney voice laments Australia’s sporting woes after Bill Squires loses to Tommy Burns and critics claim lack of science and courage. It vents at All Blacks defeats, praises crowd frenzy, mocks Hygienic Association talk, and riffs on accidents, fashion, and a sprawling cast of names and anecdotes from sport, theatre, and city life.

Electioneering and danger shadow a timber yard tale

The narrator notes election scoring proceeds quietly while sport and death loom, promising little change in the house after the polls.
Land Fever and Land Reformstakes in NSW Election
A political pamphlet laments land hunger in New South Wales drawing parallels with Ireland. It argues that Carruthers government favors the wealthy, criticizes wire netting and land bank schemes, notes low land purchases, and cites 7,000 acres of Crown Lands offered at high rent as unclaimed. Referencing NZ policy, it urges electors to back democratic land reform and oppose landlord domination.
