QUITE FAIR.
The Rugger referee -gave great dissatisfaction to the homo team and supporters by reason of a number of decisions in favour of the visiting side. Tho homo skipper, n burly forward, meditated revenge. He waited until the referee had got on the fringe of a struggle for possession, then tackled him heartily, grassed him, and rubbed his face on the ground. The official rose, spluttering angrily: “ What the deuce do you mean by it?’’ “ Oh,’’ said tho culprit, in bland apology, “ it’s quite fair. You’re on tho other side, aren’t you?” Ho had been to the manager’s office to ask for the day off so that ho could dig up his garden. “But, my good man, said tho manager, “ Jones told mo only the other clay that yon hadn’t got :l garden.” “ Well, someone must have taken it off tho window sill,” was tho calm reply.
