COUNTRY SPORTS

1t will soon be the season for pic
MICS, at which should be introduced
the old-time country sports.
So far as is known these festivities
originated in Greece and was after
wards transferred to Rome, and con-
sisted of sprinting, wrestling, leaping,
throwing and boxing, though the priz-
es were merely a crown of cypress
or a laurel wreath, which were proud
ly worn by the victors, as hats were
not then in fashion, as their manufac-
ture was of much later date.
These rural sports were afterwards
transferred to the Roman ampithea-
ter, and the wrestlers were afterwards
pitted against wild animals, and they
degenerated into brutalities which vi
tiated the tastes of the people, ana
went out with the general downfall
of the empire.
The earlier and healthier part OF
these athletic tournaments were LATER
initiated by our English ancestors and
the use OF the long bow was one OF
the manly exercises.
These gatherings collected the
young people together and many a
loving couple plighted their troth on
these occasions, and a help-meet for
life was won by the champion of the
arrow, as we'll as the best wrestler,
and he of the f1eetest foot.
At a still later period these sports
were transported across the seas and
were in evidence among the hardy
forbears at what was styled shooting
matches" and militia musters." They
were feast days as we'll as fast days,
and little Dan Cupid was always in
attendance and always active, and
had it not been for these gatherings
in many instances history would have
to be rewritten so far as many of us
are concerned
These manly sports made our an
ceStOrS strong, supple and powerful,
and the weak, puny and dyspeptic
amongst them were the exception
the rugged and robust the rule.
The re-introduction of these simple.
yet splendid, sports should be encour-
aged, and where so much dyspepsia
and indigestion prevails might, in
deed, be not only the white mans, "
but the nations, "hope."
We should do what we can to make
| of ourselves not only mentally but
physically a well balanced nation.
Let's get back to the old times Of
able bodies, strong limbs and good
digestion.
