RHYME AND REASON
(To the Editor.)
Sir, —There’s a croquet green and’ bowling green all set upon our village green, and sure they all look grand, beside the nice rotunda- put up there for the band. But -now we need another green the bowlers aID proclaim, and some say you can have it, but not in our domain. So now the battle’s started and really going well, and bowls, and bats, and hockey sticks are flying round pell mell. Calling bowlers real “old fogies” is hardly playing “cricket,” for some are -pretty ancient ‘who trundle on the “wicket.” So let’s have peace and tolerance within this little sphere, and all sports join together in a social atmosphere.—l am, etc., SHORTFELLOW.
