Various Theories Advanced Regard
ing Good Friday Dainty.
respondence of The Star.


LONDON. March g. 1916
The hot cross bun. a long-established Good
Friday dainty, against making which some
of the London bakers have struck, has
never been satisfactorily traced back to
its origin. Similar delicacies existed long
before the Christian era indeed. a learned
Psychologist once asserted that it was
originally syTnbolical of the worship of
the sacred bull in ancient Egypt. Bous,
which stands for bull. is in one of Its
oblque cases written ''boun,'' which
gives, as he triumphantly pointed out. an
easy transition to bun-an explanation
more ingenious than convincing.
The hot cross buns popularity in medi-
eval England probably was due to the
fact that there was a superstition that
bread and cake baked on Good Friday and
preserved were specifics against any dis
ease occurring during the year.
The London bakers. who complain of
having to make the popular bun. must
thank Richard Hunds, who opened the
Chelsea Bun House just two centuries
ago and set UP an era of hot cross bun
making in London. People came from
great distances to eat or procure his
spiced buns. Other bakers In the neigh
borhood initiated him, and on Good Fri
day, according to cotemporary account.
the tea gardens of Chelsea were filled
with people eagerly devouring smoking
equally famous Pimlico ale, the buns and
the ale having, it is said, that kind of
affinity generally credited to stout and

CHAPTER XIV.
Hans Second Trip to New York

For the second time in the history Of
the contests between the two big schools
each had won a game, and it was neces-
sary to play third game to decide the
championship. To provide for such cases
they had a rule where a third game
was necessary it must be played on
neutral ground the location to be agreed
upon by the captains. This was generally
done by tossing coin. The winner had
the right to name the place.
This was a very important matter to
decide in such a simple way, as the
team securing the choice of location for
this game also secured 80 per cent of
the gate receipts after the expenses were
paid, the money all going. Of course. to
the athletic fund. You would think that
this arrangement and the attractive fea-
ture of the gate money would cause the
boys to try to break even on the first
two games every year, but the fact that
this was only the second time In twenty
years that it occurred goes to show how
square the games were.
When they came to toss the coin this
time Hughie called Heads" and heads
it was. He promptly said. We will
play It at the Polo Grounds in New York"
and Mr.. Williams, the treasurer OF the
