The Last Song of the Sweet Singer
OF Michigan,

A correspondent sends us the latest and, per-
haps, the sweetest poem OF the Sweet Singer of
composed by the author" and Is devoted TO
the Grand Rapids Cricket Club. There isn't a
poet in the world who has her directness, her
ease and force in the statement of fact, her
grand sweep is covering situation, her point
edness in the presentation Of heroic names, and
her ability to come to dead stop when the
passengers over the poetic dashboard. Here Is
the first verse:
"In Grand Rapids is handsome club.
OF men that cricket play,
As fine set of skful men
That can their skill display,
They are the champions of the West.
They think they are quite fine,
They've won hundred honors well;
1t is their most cunning design"
The line "They think they're mighty fine"
has been used before, we think. but never In so
happy connection. Witness the exceeding
beauty OF the last line Of the following:
"Brave Kelso, he's considered great,
Chief of the club he is found:
Great crowds he draws TO see him bowl
And Mr.. Toilet is very brave,
lighter player than the rest;
Hf got w sbfasf be ooS at shs
A bolder player than either of the gentlemen
mentioned, perhaps, is Mr.. Dennis, his courage,
indeed, being full great" He has accidents,
however, though not much Of late:
"Then Mr.. Dennis does play well,
His courage is full great
And accidents to hun occur,
But not mi UGH though OF late
This ball play is dangerous game,
Brave knights to Play it though;
Those boys would be the nations pride,
If they to war would CO."
The Cricket Club OF Grand Rapids stands
"much prouder," meaning much prouier than
anything else; ard surely crcketers standing
''l1ke many noble star" are not the kind Of
men to make game of:
"From Milwaukee their club did come,
With thoughts of skill at play,
But beat they was and then went home
Had nothing more to say.
Grsnd Rapids Club that cricket play,
Will soon be known afar.
Much prouder do the members stand.
Like many noble star.
