THE SPORTING WORLD. 25 



superior station to a clerk in a lawyer's office, 

 the lawyer's clerk will think he has something 

 of the gentleman to boast of in his employ and 

 would look down on Alfred Day. The gentleman 

 would laugh at either of them pretending to 

 such character, but he would talk to Alfred, 

 while probably the only notice he would take 



of the other, would be the asking if Mr. , 



(his employer) was at home, or whether some 

 document he had left was copied. 



It is thus so throughout the world, each 

 man thinks in accordance with the way in which 

 he has been brought up. No one can be sur- 

 prised at any one eulogising what he knows how 

 to appreciate. We have only reason to censure 

 those who ignorantly and blindly condemn what 

 they really know nothing at all about, and as 

 each party seeks society among those they think 

 likely to be of their way of thinking, of course 

 their sentiments and opinions pass current among 

 themselves and are held as impregnable.
