were vociferously cheered even on
ordinary play, while the unfortunate
Benedicts were jeered at throughout
the game. The Umpire also came in
for a share of these rude demonstra-
tions where his decisions did not har
monte with the desires of the boys.
Frequent displays of such rudeness
will spoil all matches in the future.
It is to be hoped that lovers of the
National game will unite to frown
down such manifestations here
after.
