this kills public interest. The intro

away from the game.
Uupunctuality on the part OF the
players their leisurely movements in
the field. the tedious delays in the
game between the departure OF the
outgoing batsman aud the arrival Of
the new batsman-all have harmed the
great pastime which had always been
looked upon as Englands nationul
game
The fact that So few amateurs take
part in the county matches nowadays
has undoubtedly affected the game.

CABARETS IN BIRDLAND NEXT.
Lecturer In Chicago Talks Of Rastin1e
and Opera In Feathers.

and Opera In Feathers.
Henry Cldys. formerly OF the United
States biological survey, in a lecture
at the University OF Chicago talked Of
the aesthetic sense" of birds.
Birds dance in the air. do highland
filings and the more sedate cyoIutious
with the most perfect rhythm" said
Oldys. They sing a bird ragtlme' and
at other times suatches OF song which
greatly resemble our grand opera.
There is Il blackbirl that has Il song
almost parallel TO Il Wagnerian opera;
the robin is best in so called popular
songs. while the wood thrush sings a
song of four distinct verses.
Like the human being, birds firt
and are filed with vanity. In this ca
pacity they use their plumage with
great effect In the Kongo there is a
male bird that struts before its mate
and peeps under its wing to see if she
is looking at him"
The speaker concluded with the state
ment that birds sometimes copy from
man and that man could learn a great
deal by copying from the bird.
