To Jump upon his head
"And then one fellow stopped and stopped
And Al! the rest got round.
And every fellow stopped and stopped
Ana looked hard az the ground.
"And then another fellow yelled
And each man. where he stood.
just b { aud struck and knocked and kicked
AT every one he could,
And then one fell upon his neck,
Anu all the others ran.
And on bis prone and PROSTATE form
Leapcd every blessed man.
"And then the an bulance drove on,
And loaded up with

Tie agile leather-chaser was favored with
fine weather last Sunday and the various
ball fields were the scene Of some lively and
exciting contests.
At Central Park the Wanderers and
ROveTs played off their tie for the Hilbert
trophy the game being won By the Wan
derers with the loDsidsd score Of to /.
The R0vers made a good stand against
such an experienced team as the Wander
ezs and al times made it lively for the old
timers.
The form displayed by tie Rovers was

championship.
Strong and Ferguson played fine COM

best halfbaek on the field.
