Mixing His Drinks

i A friend to me the tale relayed it seems he had a dream, I About the day our outfit , played the I Aussie cricket ’ team. We sent McCliskey in to bat, but BradI man got offside, 1 And Ross Wright kicked, a pity that the Umpire shouted “wide.” The ' second round we watched with glee with Fisher showing tricks, But; swinging with his mashie he was penalised for sticks,, A losing hazard played -by Forbes -in- [ creased the Regiment’s score, I But what , a yell went round the ring when Symons broke an oar. O’Reilly took' a swallow dive to break the Boston crab, | But in the Regiment’s twentyfive, our full-back shouted .“grab.” - | Six love, two up and three to play our chances looked quite bright, j The wicket at the ninteenth was.abso- ; - lately right. ~ i But passing on the starboard tack Mar- | tin then was seen, To score a slam with ’ ace, king, jack, i and five hearts to the queen. Three bulleys ’added to the score till , j Hawking dropped a catch, , [But playing Grimmett: to King Rook | 4, we quickly clinched the match. 1 Bdr.-L. J. Anderson (sth Battery).
