THOUGHTS FOR THE TIMES
’I'll!-: Vnrtcr: or Ciucickt. The overseas Dominions have never really appreciated what may he called the temperamental value of cricket, and even in Australia, where the game Inis made such wonderful progress oil the technical side, the true meaning of it is little understood; hut the Englishmen know that there is a virtue in cricket that does not belong to anv other pastime. Perhaps some of that virtue is lost when a single game is permitted to extend over a week, hut happily such Marathon matches arc* not generally in favour and cricket i.s never really likely to degenerate from a pastime into an occupation.— “Lyttelton Times.”
