He had been it for some time from heart trouble, but the end was unexpected. At Radley and Oxford he distin- guished himself more as an athlete than for scholarship, although he took a gond second in Classical Greats. While at Wadham he rowed three in the Oxford beat of 1889. On leaving the University he began to write an sport and art.

Sir Theodore was an expert swordsman, and it will be recalled that he captained the English fencing team at the Olympic Games in Athens in 1908. He was a man capable of great enthusiasts, and he had a spirit of optimism that was proof against all the buffetings of Fate. In general, a journalist is a man without illusions; he sees too much of the inside and has too much first-hand knowledge (includ- ing a great deal that he cannot or will not publish) to take things for granted. But Cook was an excep- tion to the rule; and unfortunately he was led to put his money into several undertakings that none but an optimist would look at, for a moment. Thus he lost heavily, and a few years ago went through the Bankruptcy Court. But in spite of misfortune he was buoyant of spirit to the end, a distinguished, a brave, and a lovenhle gentleman,

People queue up in scores, and sometimes in hundreds, for the fleeting bliss of skimming.over the surface of the sea at the speed of an express train. The bonts are, of course, petrol driven.
