À LITTLE SURPRISE,
It was a varied company, and, to evento a Bittle diversion someone introduced a dork- kicking contest.. To the uninitiated I may explain that competitors have to tos a lins, the cork being placed on the Roor some low foot in front of the kloker.. Koteining the tralauso en uno leg, the competitor stratches ent the other to its utmost limit, knacks over the cock, and brings both foot together without rearing the line My. Elliott www.not zew.to the game; he had won bis spurs: at this whilst sailing along the Mediterranean last sum zer. Standing a good three inches taller than Anyone else in our little competition the priss uppoured ortuin for him. But with at bis Bagh of limb and superb muscle he had to ad knowledge a auperior at the game-and that none other than Eugene Stratton, that splendid all-round music-ball artiste. Readers will ect find this work test in Cassell's Book of Games," nor any other that I know of, but if myona wants to find put the rales of knack" they sight apply, many were tests. Our woight lifting horo was certainly very much surprised, bo having already acquired the peculiar pase and movements for the successful compliment of the font.
A SOFABLE MEETING.” Just to vary the toples of the day a little I should like to refer to the story of the from "meeting betwese the illustrious nobleman, Lord George Bentinck, and "Sqnira" Oobal- deston, an quoted by. Mr. William Day in his "Reminiscences of the Turt." The well-know trainer does not appear to have been too alevi in his admiration for Lord George, and tells many tales with shinff heartiness and candour that lends added zoat. This is bis story of the "meating" "Oh, one occasion, it may be romontbered. Lord George noorend M, George Debaldeaton, of all people in the world, of swindling, and immediately received a challenge which he was obliged to accept. Mr. Day then has recourse to a journal of the timo, giving a supplementary rozsion afterwards, We aladed, in the early part of our sketch, to Lord Geoige's detestation of duelling. Nevertheless, he was once obliged to ge ont, and his opponent was "none other than the') redoubtable Squiro Osbaldeaton. The quarrel originated in a betting transaction between the parties at Heaton Park. At Novmarkat Cragen Meeting, Mr. Osbaldeston, riding up to Lord George Bentinok, said: 'Lord George, I want 2400, wou of you at Hatton Park. To this the reply was: You want £400 that you swindled ms ont of st Heston Park.' fuck a rejoinder hardly admitted of an apology, and after the ual preliminary arrangements they met to ight a dual. It fell to Lord George's lot to fire first. His pistol missed fire, whereupon, without any appearstica of oxcitement, he said to bis ad yazary: Now, Squire, it is two te ona

in your favour. Is it said his opponent.
Why, then, the bet's off, and discharged tha34-4] contents of his pistol in the sir," Mr. Day thanks the unpleasant affair originated not ot Hvaton Fark, but at Croxton Park, whon the Squire was besten on one of his own horsts the firet day, and riding the same horze on the nxt day vor, when he had takan £100 to £100 that ho would do so. The author of these in- taresting reminisconess very plainly, shows an which side his sympathies loy, for he goes on to remark: 1 вга sure that no one who over knew the Squire will imagine for a Tantant that he was capable of doing any thing approaching an agentlemanly sotion. That he was in the habit of doing foolish ones I admit, and was oftener swindled, and in a variety of ways, thau most men. and, indeed, lost a fortune through the duplicity of utlors. But he remained to the last, thoughi poor, as npright, straightforward, bouent English yen domin, and would never have asked Lori Georgo, or anyone else, for anything that be tlid not know he was fairly entitled to receive." Such is the tribute paid to "the Squire" by Mr. Dag, and though there may be faw amonget
who can testify to its truthfulness and candour in these days, it should and a respen. sivo echo in the breasts of all who remember the fine old "honest English gentleman."
