illustrated in the atrocious murders which charac- terized the brutal coup-d'est of the so-called progressive party, in 1884. Nor can the stray bit of communism here mentioned serve as a point upon which to hase a hope for a country which is still within the tails of a peculiar and firmly fixed feudalism. Korea under a foreign domination is quite another question, which must wait the logic of coming events, whose shadow even now is not very far away,
Note. The geographical situation of Korea determines in no uncertain way her future political status. Siberia touches her frontier in the northeast, where at Vladivostock, on the Japan Sea, Russia has quietly and quickly established a strong chain of fortifications and a naval station, to which is being added a garrison of several thousand Cossacks in anticipation of the Trans-Siberian Railway, already in course of construction, and which, it is claimed, is to be completed within the next four years, thus secur- ing communication by rail and steamer from St. Petersburg through to the Japan Sen. This event, it is only too evident, enlarges the horizon of Korea's politics, in which, as yet, the conflict ing interests of China and Japan, England and Germany, appear only in opposition to Russian aggression, in a somewhat intangible and nebulous form. Possessing no serious elements of a civilized nationality, ani generis, Korea can not bat be benefited by absorption by one or all of these powers, and, the Korean proletaire aiding, become at length a civilized and progressive country.

a most useful piece of advice to give no doub', but one which on y "first-class players appear to be able to follow.
"NUMBER 2."
"No "is, par excellence, the playing man i team and his role is almost entirely offensive He should be a brilliant, hard, and sure hitter, hitting with equal case both on the near-side and on the off-side; and he should be a good judge of strength and direction and a deadly shot at goal. He must be mounted on very fast and, above all, on very handy ponies. His play should be a nice combination of discretion and dash discretion in knowing where and when to gallop and dash in picking up each fleeting opportunity of curting in and scoring. Whe "No," or the "back" are hitting to him either straight drives or back-handers, he should know their strength exactly and be ready, if facing to pick up the in the right direction, bill and take it on; if facing to the rear turn and tike it on before ready to any of the enemy can meet it or cut in, Fancy strokes are permissible to "No. 2, but, we submit. to no other member of the team this player's stick should be as handy as a incquet-bat in his hands, and strokes in any position or direction possible to him. To save wear and tear of horse- flesh it is a gand thing to practise strokes off n wooden horse. The rider sits on the harse, and all his servants stand around and bowl balls a him, one after another, from every point of the compass. Dumb-bells and lad-an clubs, should also be daily used.

business. How difficult nori disheartening that business is only known to those who have expe rienced the difficulty of trying to collar a good! "back." But still, if he will only stick to it, the time will assuredly come in a game when his perseverance will be rewarded.. A "flying man”. cannot expect to thwart a "back" on every occa slan on which he tries to do s, but every now and then his efforts will be successful, and successful too, very possibly, at a time must critical for the. enemy's goal To carry out hi datics effectively, the "flying man" should have one eye on th ball (not with a view to biuing it) and the other on the enemy's "back, and should so time his riding as to inc.cept himself, his pony, or his stick between the back and the ball on every possible occasion. The only occasion on which it is permissible, I submit, for a "flying man" to bit a ball, at all is when he has a free shol at goal at close range. It is a very good educa tion for a "No, i to play only with a hockey- stick, removing thereby the almot irresistible temptation he feels now and again to make runs instead of sticking to his own business.
CONCLUDING ADVICE. Having impressed these the broad rudiments of the game upon the different members of an aspiring team, it behoves their captain to put them into the field with a view to trying their strength and as a preparation for the future. Is is advisable to play at least once a week a foreign match or against a scratch local team, so as tu give the regimental team constant practice in playing together and thereby gaining confidence in themselves and each other. During the game absolute discipline should he enforced, and no other n ember
the team, except the
The "back" should, as a rule, be mounted on the best ponies in the regiment, for on him depends, both offensively and defensively, very largely the success of the team. A back" mounted on slow or unreliable ponies is not merely a weak point in his team, but deprives it of that back bone and stamina which it has a right to look for in him, and which is very essential to enable the rest of the team to play in their places with con- fidence both in a losing and a winning game The general duties of a "back "are both offensive and defensive according to the state of the game. Offensively his duty is to hit the ball well up in to the game, to make long shots at goal, and on occasion, when opportunity offers and "No. 3" is ready to fall back and take his place, to make runs. Until within the last few years it was a hard-and-fast rule that the "back" was never to go up or make runs; but experience has proved that a" "back" may often do invaluable service to his side by going up, provided always that "No. 3" takes his place, and that the "back" gets to his own place soon as possible after performing his temporary service. Nothing disorganizes a team more than having a" back" who can never be relied upon to be in his right time. Delensively the "back" is all in all to his team; a steady determined "back" will often wear out and break the most spirited attacks of a superior team, and may even turn the tide of victory. The "back's" position during the ordinary course of the game should be close enough up to it to enable him to take an active part in the game; captain, should have a word to say while the sufficiently near to guard against that disjointed ball is in play. It is well to inculcate from play which is noticeable in those teams in which the very beginning a spirit of calmness and silence into a team. The game is in itself the back." either doubting his own powers or owing to the inferiority of his mounts,stands afar
so exciting, especially if two teams are very off and acts entirely on the defensive. When the closely matched, that the impulse of most team is hard pressed and the enemy are within
men is to shout and yell, and make a noise the thirty yards flag, the "back" will find that without gaining any commensurate advantage his best position is between the goal-posts, where from doing so. but rather, on the contrary, he may meet or tura aside many a well-directed suffering loss of power. A teim, too, that shot at his goal. The most valuable strokes is habi ually silent and self-contained is not for a "back" to practise are clean and hard likely to let sip these blossoms of speech which driving, straight ahead, and back-handers, both often make a polo-ground an unvisitable spot for on the near and off side of his pony.

In meeting a ball which is travelling towards you at any pace, it will be slackness the scratch team go to rot and then fall completely to pieces, leaving the disciplined team found safest to bold the stick with the bead just to romp in easy winners. The mounting of the clear of the ground, and to make your firet dribbling stroke or even almost a "blocking" team must be most carefully looked to and regu

It is gaing in the right direction, gives you the right as hopeless to play on very small or slow ponies of way, and obliges everyone to clear off from your front, thereby allowing you a more or less against a fast well-mounted team, even though the free hit.
