Notes

  • This issue of the Empire carries an advertisement for the colonial publication, by J. R. Clarke, of popular international songs.

    Also included in this issue is a report from a Wilcannia race meeting. The Empire's racing correspondent, referring to the 'Darling darlings' who attended the three-day meeting, quotes a verse adapted from the writings of St Basil. The verse, slightly misquoted by the Empire's correspondent, appeared in English literary magazines in the 1830s.
