154- THE FLOWING BOWL of raspberry syrup, half a wine-glassful of gin ; half fill the tumbler with crushed ice, shake well, and top up with champagne. Drink through straws. Saratoga Brace-up. Large tumbler, tablcspoonful sifted sugar, twelve drops of Angostura bitters, twelve drops of lemon juice, six drops of lime juice, twelve drops of anisette, one fresh egg, and a wine-glass of old brandy. Half fill the glass with crushed ice, shake thoroughly, strain into another large tumbler, and fill up with Seltzer or Apollinaris water. A Burglar's Brew. Amongst the kindand generous correspondents who have furnished me with matter for this work is an Austrian gentleman, who, apparently, holds someappointment under Government. He writes : " Our local man in blue (or rather in green., in Prussia) and I have just driven twenty miles a burglar to the police-station. Bobby and I being both new to this part of the world, did not know the road, but our passenger directed us quite well, and actually rang the bell himself at the gaol; after which he most properly wished a very happy new year to the head constable, with whom he seemed to be quite on sitting terms. " But the point of this is to tell you of a very decent drink, mixed by 'Billy'"—presumably the burglar—" himself, on our journey—a most acceptable ' gargle,' with two feet of snow and a beastly east wind.
