It is tiot so very long age since I had occasion to quote what the famous old Oxoniae, H. Vo mall, had to say about the introduction of pro fasaloolism. Read what he has written con- cerning the cap tie favor" In many parta of the country, the growth of the game has heem fostered by the institution of challenge cups, to be competed for by the clubs of the district, and a fierce controva has for many years raged as to their utility To our Tind there can be little doubt that they engender enthusiast for the game where it is in its infancy or in danger of being ousted by the rival game of Association foot- ball; and if the cups could be withdrawn from competition after serving their original purpose there would be little to say against them, but County committees have never yot found them- selves strong enough to adopt this policy. A „oup once started is bound to continue, becaure thổ cluba tako, such keen interdist in the competition that they would depose any con mittes which deprived them of the 'attraction. The county of Durham ones, did try to with- draw their cap, but they had to start it again the following season in deference to the pressure brought to tear upon them by the clabu, · The objection to their contintanse is that the destru to win the cup becomes so great that it leads to a jn, fia; or wrangla apărit aconugst the ectu- phitors, which has a verg had effect upon the play and the players. And, further, many of the ablest supporters of the game have come to the opuslasion that the rise of veiled profes: sionalism is desertlior directly or indirectly to these contests. The competing clubs naturally desire to secure good players, and the huge sutas obtained by way of gate money in oup tie antabus -often amounting to hundreds of pounds for a single mateb-undouinbly of the means for making secret payment: a temptation, to which it has been proved that some clubs barə yielded in the past. At the same time it is equally certain that many clubs have been abeo-Hongkong Ice lately honourable and above board in their deal.

OPIUM

Decidedly one of the most determined-I night almost add and kitterest-opponents of professionalista in connection with The Rugby: game is Arflite Budd, the celebrated Black- hosthen of the seventies and, early eighties. In the Ber. Frank Marshall's bright book on the game he has gone into thesabfect at grant length and I should dearly like to quote all he has said against the professor. In the prosont lottor, however, I shall have to content myself with on de two extracts, with a promise le resume the tople daring the coming season. After discuss ing the recent developments of the game, he Iminches out boldly into a crusade against the coming, evil. He says: "Anar, however, from the changes which may oogar in the future- from the alterations for the water or arrange ment of the players and the advance of scisz00, the question which will most materially affect the destiny of the Rugby game is that of pro fessionalism. Since the working man. has be- come as propsinent an oloment in our gano there are many who advocate the introduction MESSRA FALCONER & Ca's RESTER, Out, J,
