Thus have I shown what a gigantic medium Sport is for the circula- 

 tion of money— the vertebrce of our common weal. 



To these facts and figures would I draw the attention of those who, 

 through humanitarian or ultra-righteous ideas, are detractors of sport. 



To the subject I invite the consideration of Radicals and Socialists. 

 Let these step-political brethren ponder well before they strive to injure 

 the classes who maintain our sports. Let them recognise the fact that, 

 as a universal benefactor in hringing to the poor the rich man's money, 



A SUBSTITUTE FOR SpORT CAN NEVER BE FOUND. 



These revolutionists should also assure themselves of the fact that 

 never can they devise a system which will carry out the principle of 

 communism as practically and universally as that which has always been 

 adopted by our territorial landlords. Be it £5,000, £20,000, or £100,000 

 a year which may be focussed in the one individual, he spends it all 

 among the community. Yet these are the men who are marked for 

 destruction by the Eadical, the Socialist, and the Anarchist, and not the 

 andlords alone, but all other moneyed-men, no matter of what class.
