So that the Yorkabireman has reason to be proud of his county and the men it produces.

Rollit, who originally hailed from Hull, wax in the chair, and he seems to have studied cricket history for the occasion. He extolled the game because it typite the national character of the English, needed strong arms, quick legs, thought, judgment, and intellectual power. Very neatly he added that was why Yorkshire men were so clever at this pastime. This is sil very well so long sa Sir Albert does not insinuate that the boat arms, lage, and brains are all within the onfines of the county of 2376 Yorkshire. If so, I demur, and I do not think this is a fair inference to draw because York shiro have won the championship, sad moreover. It says little for the calibre of the opponents of Lord Hawke. Still, the Yorkshire elever have done a great feat to win the championship in three successive years.
