GOOD SHOWING.

Marlborough. England. July tspeciaD.-The
fourth English game Of the Haverford College
cricket team began here to-day in the presence OF
a good sized crowd, and the play far the
game has gone indicates another close and well
contested match.
This game is to last two days, so that when the
home team the toss they gained consider
able advantage by batting first a hard and fast
wicket. They made the most of their opportunities
too, and before they all disposed of they had
run up the total to well over the second century.
r. H. Patton's fast round arm bowling alone
proved effective and he captured wickets for
a comparatively small cost.
Against tie home teams total of 222 Haverford
scored l32 for the loss of only two wickets with
eight wickets in hand only ninety runs have TO be
made up. one of the features of to-day's play
the wicket keeping of D, A. Roberts. who stumped
one man. caught two and allowed only four byes.
The day was also noted for the return TO form of
w. S. HnChman, the captain Of the team, who in
the two last games played was dismissed for a
cipher each time. In company with r, II, Patton
he made splendid stand to-day after the fall of
the first wicket Patton also played a good, free
innings of 81, and ne hit much harder and scored
almost twice as fast as MS partner.
After Patton was disposed OF G. j. Allen kept
Hnchman company until stumps were drawn for
the day. This pair Will resume their batting when
the game is continued tomorrow, and prOfting by

some nritish Regiment..

The Eighth hussars (the Kings Royal
Irish preserve the memory of the brave
deeds of their regiment by a peculiar
mode OF wearing the sword belt. Instead
OF being worn about the waist IL is worn
over the right shoulder. This Is in COM
memoration Of the gallant conduct Of the
regiment at the battle of Saragossa,
when the belts of the Spanish cavalry
were captured. The nickname of Gross
Belts will always stick TO the regiment.
The officers and staff sergeants Of the
Welsh fusileers are allowed to have
what is called fash on the back of the
neck of the coats. The regiment used to
wear plgtails until about the year 1907,
and the supposition is that, having re-
tanned them after other regiments had
discarded them. they were allowed TO re-
tain the fash on the coat collar as a
mark OF distinction.
One regiment always wear white
plumes in their caps in memory of their
gallantry at st. Lucia in ITS. The men
plucked the white feathers from the hats
of the Frenchmen and put them in their
own.

of the Fourteenth hussars, which in 1913

out of the Caucus.

Some senators remember, says Wash
ington correspondent in the New York
Mail and Express. how Vice President
Henry Wilson OF Massachusetts, left the
senate to take the vice presidential office
and soon after his Inauguration the Re
publicans called a caucus of their side
and out Of habit Mr.. Wilson was the first
to attend the meeting. As the senators
began to gather they expressed surprise
ut the presence OF the vice president. but
he did not seem TO notice this and finally
had to be told that only senators could
attend caucuses and that as vice presi
dent and presiding officer Of the senate
he was not expected to attend party
gatherings. Senators who have prospects
Of reelection, therefore, do not care tc
give up their seat on the floor to become
a mere presiding officer, with only the
right to cast the deciding vote in case OF
a tie.
