True Sport.
The definition of sport by Chief Justice Sir John Madden, Victoria, should be acted up to by all racing men and footballers : —‘ And by sport I mean that fair sport which enables men to cultivate their bodies and strengthen them to constancy under suffering, and constancy and placidmindedness under defeat, and to the feeling that an honest defeat is no less than an honest victory. These are qualities which ennoble the mind, and are invaluable in the training of a nation, but in order that they may be of any value to the community, they must be absolutely free from any connection with foul play or the practice of any inhumanity and disregard for the lives and limbs of others.’
