while, and every one knows how the
Duke of Marlborough. when first he
paid court to Elizabeth, opened the
way for his entry into her heart by
dainty praise of few lines she had
written. And so it has come down
through the centuries, king and queer,
prince and princess, all essaying but
never really succeeding to become lit
erary lights; that is, upon basis of
merit.
Thus it is that not only England is
positively delighted fo9eis this unex-
peeted outbreak on the part of a!
prince, but all over Europe, and in
many land where cricket is an utter
stranger the people are buying the
princes book, just because it is a good
book and was writteH byEa real prince.
1t seems odd enough that cricket
should have been the subject which Il
prince should utilize to make royalty's
first literary success, but it is so, and
there is no denying the facts.
Another odd truth is that the writer should
really be no Englishman at all, but scion
of one of the kingdoms OF India, whose ruler
bows to none but Englands queen. A resi-

The book has brought to the attention of the
public also the fact that any cricket team IN
England would be as g,ad to secure this royal
author as any of the most ambitious mammas
would be to secure him as a partner for their
daughters. Then too, the prince is rich. If

Baron Won. Thielmann, secretary of tie
