A short Saturday from the southern waters. The long-resident frog is observed in what looks a great deal like preparation for the midsummer programme, though he declines to call it that.

The Cultural Subcommittee has announced the fourth and closing item of the midsummer programme. The long-resident frog of the southern waters will deliver, on his own conditions, a brief reflection on the central position.
DISPATCHES
The dabchicks of the west pier have issued their first statement since the fifteenth of May. Delivered by the eldest of the family, in person, the statement declines, on consideration, to issue a statement.
DISPATCHES
The Junior Member asked the Subcommittee to define, in writing, the words 'delegation' and 'succession' it governs the sluice by. The Subcommittee deferred. One member's objection, off the minutes, was that everyone already knows what they mean.
DISPATCHES
The Cultural Subcommittee has posted the first two items of the midsummer programme. The first is the eldest gosling on verses of her own choosing. The second is the smallest gosling, back for the overture she lost her place in last April.
FROM THE POND

FROM THE POND
An early Sunday at the southern waters, where the long-resident frog is gone from his customary station and a rehearsal carries, alone, from the direction of the willow.
