She cooks her husband's meals and serves them to him herself, and she won't oven allow him to kiss her until the fight is over.

Long before the lawn bowls season was even due to terminate local football clubs commenced preparations for the opening of the local programme, which starts during the coming week-end with a full list of matches in all three divisions of the League, and which will hold the undivided attention of a large majority of local sporting fans for the next five and a half months, during which time the usual annual competitions will be decided for various cups and shields which are up for competition:

There has been considerable activity among local clubs to get their players into form before the opening matches and friendly fixtures have been in progress now for some weeks, while, prior to the arrangement of these contests, players had been indulging in constant practice among themselves as a preliminary to the more serious pursuit of their favourite winter pastime.

ENDEAVOUR'S FUTURE

Mr. Fairey's preference for a vessel rather maller than the "J" class yacht is well known; and it is no doubt with the Intention of encourag- ing the building of smaller, and more economical boats that he is prepared to challenge America with such n vessel.

Should his viewpoint attract American yachtsmen, they may build vessels of the proposed class, and be) prepared for an Amerien's Cup con- test with them. But in this country it is widely belloyed that there is not yet room for this class. And Amer- icon such matters-usually follow this cantry's lead.

It is perhaps necessary to em- phaalag that there is no sort of rivalry for the distinction of challeng ing for the Amerien's Cup. In the eighty-five years' history of the trophy it has always been customary to leave the field clear for the man who last occupied it; the beaten man is allowed at least the chance of avenging his defent. Mr. Falroy's reputed wish to challenge derives from his ambition to stimulate the

building of a new class of challenger and defender. He would not challenge with a new vessel while Mr. Sopwith was willing to return to the fray elther with a new boat or the old.

Many good judges believe that a new Endeavour might prove not superior to the present wonderful It is possible that there is similar uncertainty in Mr. Sopwith's mind, for there is sold to be attached to the conditions of sale of Endeav- our the stipulation that he may buy hor back at the end of next scason) if he so desires,
