The Ledbury and Cotswold also come into the West 

 Midland District, but in such a chequered season it was 

 impossible to get round them. Tlieir sport, I fear, has 

 not been quite up to the mark. No country could have 

 been harder Ijit than the Cotswold with the intermittent 

 frost, snow, hail, and wind, with which it has been 

 favoured, and I hope that Mr. Hicks-Beach, the new 

 Master, will not be discouraged, but persevere, and 

 succeed.
