A Misunderstood Joke.

Lord Ponsonby, speaking at the Men of Sussex dinner in London, said that he regarded Brighton as a blot on the country of Sussex, damaged by its trippers, The Ma yor of Brighton, commenting on the speech, said:"Many members. of the Government have visited within the last few months Perhaps these are the sort. of trippers to whom Lord Ponsonby objects. We welcome cordially, and we try to cater for, every class of visitor, within certain limita which are necessary for the good order of the town. We are pleased to see trippers in Brighton."Lori Ponsonby, when informed of the Mayor's comment, said:"My remarks on Brighton were de- livered in a spirit of chaff. Some people have so little sense of hum- our that it is not safe to joke with them. My speech was in praise of Sussex."
