THURSDAY, JUNE 9 th , 1812 UafrilimT t o s t p . The abstraot and brief chronicle of the time.— Hamlet, T h e mention of James Phillips last week brings to my mind Dimboola, the township in Victoria which has the distinction of producing the sturdy Australian. Just recently Dimboola has brought into prominence two bowlers of a different type to Phillips. The South Mel­ bourne batsmen who visited Dimboola at Easter had to take part in a melancholy procession to and from the wickets. They were all dismissed for 3*2, and by the joint efforts of a pair of aboriginal bowlers named Marks. Is it possible that the spirit of John Mullagh may find consolation in a repetition of cricket history ? T h e Head Master of Haileybury College has been discoursing on the “ Educational Value of Cricket ” in the June number of the Educational Bevisw. His practical experi­ ence as a first-class player, as well as his subsequent opportunities as a master at Eton, and later at Haileybury, cause any expression of opinion by the Hon. and Rev. E. Lyttelton on such a subject to be received with the greatest respect. His picture of the educa­ tional advantages of cricket as a school for self-discipline will commend itself to the approval of all who have gone through the ordeal themselves with beneficial results. “ The man who can walk away from the wicket, having been badly run out by his partner, after getting 20 runs without a mistake; or who can be wrongly given out by an umpire in the morning of a one day’s match ; or who can see his slows coarsely hit about by some brawny child of nature, and again and again missed by a painstaking but elderly set of fieldsmen, and under circum­ stances like these can retain cheerfulness and zest in the game, has learnt an amount of self-discipline which no other frequent experience during his youth can possibly give him. He comes to see the enormous difficulty of really doing anything well. He must school himself to bear disappointment and constant oollapse of his best hopes, to administer comfort to a younger player who is also in distress, and to refrain from worrying his friends with accurate but useless explanations of his own failure. All this he must do, if he is to be a good and popular
