CORRESPONDENCE. POPULAR ENTERTAINMENTS. To the Editor of the Telegraph. Sir,-Permit me to register my protest against the present weekly entertainments in the Town-hall. They are, I understand, under the management of a committee, and are supppsed to minister to the instruc- - tion or amusement of the residents. But unfortunately, the committee would appear to be destitute of gentlemen possessing good taste and a decent sense of the re- sponsibility of giving the young men and maidens of Prahran pleasant instruction or pure amusement. The earnest, sincere vein in which such a committee should work is quite wanting here. No kindly exertions do they make to train the youth of the town to love pure and simple music, to appreciate genuine sentiment, and learn lightly and joyously from teachers and others what it is that should constitute happy and innocent hours. The sunshiny the pleasant home music unattainable to them elsewhere, have been denied by these ruling individuals. This committee con- sists of men with an appreciation solely for the meretricious in art and the dubious in reputation. Tarnished and shabby are all their belongings and assistants. The night shuffle before a congregation of Melbourne larrikins and half-dressed waitresses, rather than to work manfully for an honourable living are dragged from their gas-flaring minds of boys and girls of this town with their squalid unreal and shabby inanities.

LARRIKIN. of the word "larrikin." I notice that the old the balance of evidence goes to show that 'larri- a century ago. A new generation has sprung up years' standing — from the days of the "Empire" To the Editor of the "Evening News." since then, and it is not surprising that even in your office those facts should be forgotten. An old subscriber of your publications of forty odd till now should, however, have reminiscences of matter published under the Bennett regime prior to the birth of many of the now members of the "News." The "Irish policeman" theory origi- nated with a witty and crisp writer of "Notes on Current Events" in the 'Town and Country Jour- nal' twenty odd years ago. Then, as now, larri- kinism was rampant in the city and suburbs, and the term larrikin was of recent coinage. In a paragraph treating of the subject, the "Notes" writer humorously remarked that, probably, the the word 'larking' (slang again) by an Irish po- liceman. The theory appeared so probable that it was at once seized upon by the multitudes of "Town and Country" readers, and thenceforth accepted as an absolute fact - so much so that some years after one of our judges (I forget which, Judge Manning I think) stated on the bench that the word originated with an Irish po- liceman. Soon after the Judge's dictum a para- graph (written by me) appeared in the "Notes and Queries" column of the "Town and Country Journal," explaining the origin of the "policeman theory," and expressing my belief that "lary," cute, artful, and "kinchin," a youngster, was the real etymology of the word. I believed so then, and am still of the same opinion. Both theories first saw the light in the "Town and Country Journal," and were, and still are, mere supposi- tions. Both may be wrong, but I still believe that "lary" and "kinchin" are the real roots of that much-hated sobriquet. Probably the old- time writer of "Notes on Current Events" is "still in the flesh." If so he will be able to vouch for of your files for proofs would doubtless be too great a task. - Yours, &c. Tarcutta J.K. |

I find that Victoria is, socially, in a deplorable terror, while the streets of her capital are infested by gangs of roughs called, facetiously, "larri- kins." Larrikin is a misnomer. It was first ap- plied to boys who merely misconduct themselves in the street. A policeman in court, when asked once what charge he preferred against two lads, replied that they were "larrikins" on his beat. He meant "larking," i.e. playing. The word soon got into general use, but it could never have been in- tended to apply to the infamous, hulking scoundrels who nightly take possession of streets leading from the city into the suburbs.

"LARRIKIN'' is one of those terms of into general use. For expressiveness, it can hardly be surpassed by any similar applica- tion of a slang term denoting a class. lt convoys much meaning in a few letters. Its birth or first application was purely acci- dental, like many other great discoveries. A policeman in a Melbourne court, when asked what the charge against two juveniles was, replied that he had found them "larrakin" on his beat. The magistrates were puzzled, and requested the Hiberian custodian of the peace to re- peat the charge, and it was not till a bar- the boys were "larking," i.e., playing mis- chievously, that they understood the offence incident was reported in the papers, and com- occupied a conspicuous place in the vernacular. The unconcious coiner of it meant to convey that the boys were rude and rough, troubling the passers-by as well as himself, and so ren- dering themsilves liable to some slight punish- ment. It is now often applied to all young extended. The class of offences known as larrikinism has got to be such a nuisance and dealing more effectually with the growing evil, by whipping the larrikins. The class of offences which it indicates result for the most part from so many unemployed, work as soon as he or she is able to toil for a pittance, and perhaps in some degree from the comparative cheapness of in a community is perhaps a sign of prosperity, again, one kind of larrikinism arises from an exhuberance of spirits taking a wrong direc- tion. Instead of finding vent in useful pastimes, the superfluous spirits and excessive vitality of boys well-fed but uncontrolled by education, or refinement, or checked by pro- out into impudent assumption, vicious law- lessness, and a desire to be thought daring and spirited. The evil must be great indeed in Victoria, when the legislature deter- mined to treat larrikins as they do garrotters. In Sydney, our larrikinism appears to take a milder and less criminal form. But it ap- pears that the word has been in some mea- sure misaplied.
