Cricket 1897

A p r il 29, 1897. CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 99 received in the most gracious manner. Englishmen will be interested to hear that the interview took place at a quarter past six—in the morning—at which time the President is surrouuded by the members of the Volksraad. In answer to a request to give his experience of the interview Brockwell said, “ One could not help feeling that one was talking to a very shrewd and clever man. The President does not make use of English, but I fancy he understands it, from the careful way in which he listens to every­ thing that is said before it is translated into D utch. Naturally I had no intention of approaching debatable questions, but the President rather scored off me by suddenly asking me what I thought of the political situation. Just before the interview, which lasted for about twenty minutes, was over, he told me that the Uitlanders would eventually gain benefits through new laws, &c. I s jw him just before his departure for Bloemfontein.” Every cricketer must at some time or other have discovered that Brockwell is an amateurphotographerofgreat skill, andhe has kindly lent the snapshots whichappear on pages 105 and 106. It is but natural, thaf, in a country where people sometimes live miles away from the nearest house, doubts should be thrown upon an ama­ teur photographer’s intentions when he produces his camera. ‘ ‘ I was out early one morning with Wallach,” said Brock­ well, “ driving some 10 miles out to his farm. I had my camera with me, and upon stopping at a typical Dutch dwelling I was struck with a very pretty tableau I thought suitable for a picture. Some calves were feeding under trees with a fine pool of water in the background. As 1 levelled my camera I heard a decidedly angry Dutch voice behind me, and turning I saw the lady of the home­ stead, gesticulating and shouting in a very high key. I tried to explain, but she shouted the louder. I could not understand so turned to our black boy and said—what is the old girl talking about—‘ Why ’ he replied, showing his teeth in his broad smile—‘ She says you are giving her calves the rinderpest! ’ ” STOICS T.
