AbstractHistoryArchive Description
Buggins begins his weekly column with a reflection on the botanical names for plants. He then turns to theatrical matters, particularly the practice of country newspapers buying copy from Sydney offices. Buggins notes an instance, repeated in three country papers, where it is intimated that William Hoskins is 'very wrong and very ungentlemanly in not allowing free admission to all reporters'. Buggins, with the benefit of a long personal acquaintance with Hoskins, counters with a testimony to Hoskins's 'civility and courtesy to the gentlemen of the press'.
Buggins also mentions benefits to Miss Rosa Cooper and Mr Walter Cooper, and notes the forthcoming season of Thomas William Robertson's Caste at the Prince of Wales Opera House.
