I feel sure that Club members are too sporting to grudge the loss of the ground for evening a week during this month. The matter, however, would have to go to the Club Comunittes.
To my mind, the Interporters' achievement yesterday was as en- couraging as it was unexpected. Erskine. Melvaine; Garrett, Dynes and Hull are, in my mind, quite as good as Wilson, Isaacs, Ollordessen and Rawsthorucnay, I would say Yet on the whole they are better. our batting cane brilliantly out of the test.. I confess the bowling rather worries me. Brace excepted the others did not strike one as bowling anything exceptional and Brace himself who got & for 3 was enormously helped by the bad wicket of which his height enabled him to take full advantage.

Nerve - Strength

"I'ani stronger than ever before,” wrote a Sanctogenaser, after having taken this preparation for a time.
A hot climate has made many a man a nervous wreck. Remember, however, that you can be strong and full of energy, if you take Sanatogen regularly.
Sanatogen by the power of its constituents-- albumin and phosphorus-infuses into the cells of nerves, blood and body, exactly those elements which build up nerve-strength lastingly.
·Prof. Mann, formerly of Oxford University, wrote
The Lancet
*A building-up process goes on in the nerves after the admaútration of Sanetogen.”
