CRICKET A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. *35 Who can’t hit haystacks with a ball But make a game life’s all in all.” “ Among such votaries is my lot,” Replied the unassuming Pilot; “ For, with the thousands who attend Great matches, many hours I spend. All people need some holiday Aud can’t, all times, engage in play. However playing be preferred Onlooking to taboo’s absurd. Granted that cricket’s good, per se, Spectators cannot wasters be. “ Yet cricket gained its ancient name, And worthy, of the National Game, Because your people ev’rywhere Could actively its blessings share. When young and, even more, a dunce, I went in hard for study once ; Close application ricked my back Since when some stamina I lack. Yet even I can find my class, And afternoons in plenty pass Playing at cricket, in a fashion, To gratify the ruling passion. “ The secret is, for such as I, Among compeers their luck to try. School-urchins, thus, can play together And (given only Christian weather) The elderly or delicate, Stout, busy, or effeminate, The halt and maimed and truly, all, Even with makeshift bats and ball, In jolly outings where none suffers. So, with a club of equal duffers, I spare a day wheue’er I can And come back quite another man.” The Poet grasped the Pilot’s hand ; “ I think you’ve made me understand Why Cricket so can fascinate,” He said. “ I’ll say, at any rate, You’ve put your case extremely well: How truly I can hardly tell Without more leisure to reflect; But, ’pon my word, I half suspect You’re not far wrong, sir, after all. Here ! where’s that net ? Pick up the ball; Lend me a bat with easy poise, And look alive for catches boys ! ” H.P.-T. CRICKET IN ANTIGUA. ANTIGUA v.
