Fussy about their training
--fussy about who rides them. Personally I find it's the only way. For instance, I don't much care, to lead in a lucky winner; but it gives me the rarest pleasure to watch any thoroughbred ridden to a faultless victory.

Really these international games, which might be written off as un- finished before they are begun, these endless aggregations of runs, these Bcourgings and slaughterings of first-rate bowlers on second-rate wickets, are like to be the absequies of the game. Hutton's gigantic inn- ings at the Oval last Augu, gave immense employment to the statis- ticians, but it bore a frightening resemblance to a funeral march. Its last hundred or so of runs were like a coping-stone on the monument of Big Cricket. The little game, the club and league and village sport, is safe.
