The Earl of Yarmouth is at loggerheads with the beastly press. He was asked upon his arrival in Victoria to give a theatrical performance at Ballarat, and has replied that i be can't think of it, becauas of the unmannerly way in which some of the Melbaurns papera bave referred to his high- kaya kicking exhibition in Habest. They
be com been ankind and acomplimentary,. plains, therefore Ballarat shall not, even in the sacred cause of charity, be permitted to behold the wale descendant of
any earls convolating

in theas criticisms is the very plalo in. going to lose much. Judged by the canons of art, Lord Yarmouth is said to come far behind the average Tottie in bis terpsichereas per- formances. But probably Ballarat would no more swarm to see him as a high-kicker per se than would Hobart. The attraction the fact that such a person should so far un- bend from his high estate as to do it.
