 "go one better," and call me a millionaire, which to 

 those who know me will seem very humorous indeed. 

 As few of my readers will know more modern Greek 

 than myself, I give the translation of the two para- 

 graphs, which was made for me at the time. 



** Moufflon Shooting. 



" At last ' Snaffle,' who came to Cyprus some time 

 ago for the purpose of shooting, can return gratified. 

 After many and repeated excursions to the dense and 

 wild forests of Papho, he some days ago succeeded in

 stay for the purpose of shooting a moufflon ; and now 

 his hope has been realised. 



" We remember that, when His Excellency presided 

 for the first time at the meeting of the Legislative 

 Council two years ago, he assured the members that 

 many rich Englishmen were ready to visit Cyprus for 

 the purpose of shooting, provided that they were sure 

 that there was game in the island.
