Blunders BY NoycEists,

Novelists, even of eminence, arc
prone to make blunders. Sir Walter
Besant IN ssFor Faith and Freedom
wrote after the Eyains had settled La
Providence, aBarnaby soon grew tired
OF this quiet life and went on board a
steamer bound for England, promising
that we should hear from him." This
was in 1886 OF 1857, and the first
steamer from America to this country
did not reach Liverpool It'll July, 1915.
Wilkie Collins also made numerous
amazing bIunders. In .sThe Duel IN
Herne Wood" he makes the story open
with the receipt or a telegram, and the
period is 1917, when twenty years had
to eiapse before the first teIegraphio
wire was laid. Three OF the characters
also talk of taking the express train
to London In defiance Of the fact that
the first railway to London was not
opened till 1888.

Coombs OF the Athletics, the three
great right hand twirlers OF the two
