294 SPORTS AND ANECDOTES. 



my accident, I could enjoy everything except riding, 

 for I then suffered no pain, and was up to every- 

 thing, from pitch and toss to manslaughter. 

 Lying out in gunning punts and such like proceed- 

 ings have I fear not conduced much to my comforts, 

 as I now suffer terribly from rheumatism and such 

 like discomforts. I love, however, to look back on 

 younger and happier days, and I still delight to sing 



" Oh sing me the songs which to me were so dear, . 

 Long, long ago. Long ago" 



and am constrained to exclaim with our old friend, 

 Horace 



" Eheu ! fugaces, Posthume, Posthume 

 Labuntur anni" 



THE END.
