THE FLOWING BOWL
Collins—the last named a seductive compound
of gin, limes, Cura^oa, and soda-water—have
been almost knocked out by John Barleycorn
and Jean Pomme-de-terre. Until the visit of
H.R.H. the Prince of Wales, brandy was almost
the sole potation of the heroes who helped to
hold the big wonderland, the old-fashioned brandi-
pani gradually giving place to the brandy diluted
with Belati pant, or "Europe water." Thirty
years ago a " peg" meant a brandy-and-soda ;
but whisky has now usurped the proud position
once occupied by the products of John Exshaw,
Justerini and Brooks, and others.
