When our great batsman passed th* century score of Dr. Grace, there was great applause on the field, as somebody brought him out a drink, and the news flashed round the world that Hobbs celebrated his triumph with a glass of champagne. Having refreshed himself he returned to his hat. and was out for one more run. “That shows you what champagne can do!” a thousand people said; hut they must apologise. It was not champagne that got Hobbs cut; it wav a glass of fiinger ale. Hobbs is a teetotaller, ami he wins all his triumphs, as all our greatest sportsmen do, without champagne or any other sort of alcohol.—From the “Children’s Newspaper.”
