Mr. Hawks and those who think with him may be well-mean ing soul, if they can rid the racecouras of any of its blota so much the better, but the ration is against in and his methods without doubt. That we should be provided with opportunities such as presented themetres upon the Darby Day eseme to me eminently satisfactory. Life, generally speaking, is all enough, in all con science, and it in those bits of colour that maka it worth living. How deeply this victory- simple eachgh in itsolf in the world's history- has touched the heart of the untion may be judged from the fact that tho enthusiam uf the Queon'e sujects ones fairly roused has bot yet died out, for to-day men still gosip about the race, and the who were at Epsom haro not yet ceased shaking and with themselves, 1o use a homely phrase, upon thoir good fortune. Wo have all had our thrilling moments at some lire or another somatimes with a mase of keen delight, sometimes; maybe, with a feeling of dread.

THE AWEETS OF VICTORY.

£t is diffent to imagine a man who has nover at some time or another experienced the delight- fal sensation of having one's ambition gratified. Aud it may safely be said, I think, that the more - arduous tho tank and the more ferreat the long- fag the greater the satisfaction when some long deferred hopo is andenly realised. When we undertake a task we very naturally hope for socess. Watching a big uricket match in pro- gress the other day, I fell into a dreamy kind of reverie as-one of the batsmen tol the ball with a grand sweep of the bat right amongst the onlookers perched in the pavilion. The bail few straight from the bat with the velocity of a swallow, and scarce a ten on the field moved as they watched its fight and heard it fall with bang upon the seats as the startled fashionables sourried out of its way. Then came the crackling of applause, which is as noctar of the gods to the batsman whe accomplishes these brave doede, and as the sailor stood at the wicket with one leg bent noross the other and his hand resting lighty on his loins I found myself attempting to read his thoughts and pondering over the penalfar thrill he must have expérienced during these docting seconds. My thoughts flew back much more swiftly than that ball travelled, and I began to'dream of the delights I had experienced in the tented field in the long, long ago. One cricket may not hav been no to county farm-anch ambitions thoughts would daredit the game a playal to-day- bat it was orinket all the same, and for pare anadulterated joy I belive, there is nothing of Arth to compare with that burn of successful intings in a boys' match. Flecting years teach 678 to look upon success and failure in a mor philosophic spirit; it needs the exaharazco and the naharnased mind of youth to give supreme satisfaction and lasting impressions. In my

day dream at the cricket match I was unce more upon a tiling dricket pitch, very different from the billiard table wickets our gracke per form on to-day. But the surroundings! No county ground in the kingdens could mate them to-day. We saw no red-and-white pavilion, true; bat gaze which way we would we saw such sylvan loveliness as England alone can boast. way there on the right stood the grey old tower of the village church, the elifies itself buried amidst surrounding foliage. Neser still was the quaintly built and yet commodious, red farmhouse such a rod, too, as artists but seldom watch in pictures Straight in front the meadow and orchard glamod again in the summer ann; behind stood a grund line of elms, keeping with and ward, as it were, 'o'er the peaceful hamlet.
