BLUE, THE FAVOURITE COLOUR
IN a paper on colour preference,
Dr. Dreever told the Psychology Section of the British Association that after a long series of practical tests he had ascertained that BLUE is the favourite colour of both men and ̈****
women.
་་
This is probably because blue possesses intensity, which is
at the same time reposeful. Only a few varieties may be really termed "cold" the intense rich tones of DELPHINIUM and ROYAL BLUE give a warm and satisfying effect in furnishing.

Cannot Please All. Naturally without the young grasses there was a shortage of. the roots which hind the surface of the wicket to- gether, ap from time to time there was a crambling, coupled with the usual grumbling from the sufferer. Such and such a ground was going to be bad, it was not properly looked after, the groundsman had been on his job' too long, and so forth, was scattered about in the seats of the unthinking and often unknowing. Never in a long experience has the groundsman's art heen better un- derstood than it is at present, but 急 must Be remember- ed that It is impossible please everybody. The advocates of a sporting wicket are not so much in evidence when things aro going against their side. To sult all is beyond the power of any groundsman, and I maintain that the best plan is to leave him alone. Ho is always out to do his best for his patrons, and to turn out a wicket that will be fair to both. I know full well the difficulties and am glad to be able to say that my sympathy is always on the side of the skilled man.

It was stated that the grounds would not regain their normal condition for at least two years, hence the success of the young bowlers this year.
It would be reasonable to de- scribe the past season as having been a memorable one. But what of this season? We have a visit of the Australiana, a victory over them, and splendid youngters com- ing to the fore. If I am not very much mistaken this season will be the more memorable one.
