From the pleasure out of view, therefore, the arguments are all in favour of the now road. Turning to the strictly utilitarian side of the question, the arguments are equally strong. Bir.

A FEW REDICTIONS Robinson, the latest cross-country champion, is a tremendous tacorite in Northampton, as everyone present at the zasteur championships last July would have to admit. There were. muy smart performances in that particular afternoon, from the victory of the dapper young gentlentah, N. D. Morgan, to the brilliant luriling of Godfrey Bhaw and the records of that magnificent walkor, J Stn-geas. But the Northampton crowd thought nothing of these fente when placed in comparison with the easily. obtained victory of 9.
