...croquet. Whoever wishes to remove this impression has only to try a game on the next hot day, and see whether he does not get as much exercise as a strong, healthy man requires. Any form of outdoor exercise can be taken easily; rowing itself, if one rows slowly enough, is anything but hard work; but just as a severe pull on the river is violent exercise, so is a good game of lawn-tennis. To call a game effeminate because it can be played without much exertion is a mode of reasoning which can as well be applied...

Is it not a pity that serious Athletics should be set aside by able-bodied men for a game that is at best intended for a seaside pastime?

But on careful investigation, and by means of a good deal of questioning, we find that our nine will not be excluded from...
...last piece on the programme was Weber's ever-fresh and inspiring overture to Der Freischutz. It was played with great spirit, only it seemed to us that in some parts of the presto the violins were not strong enough to give the melody sufficient prominence. Mr. Thomas is to appear again at the next and last concert of the season, for which, among other things, are promised Beethoven's Overture to Coriolanus, Schumann's Symphony in B flat, and the new duo Concertante for solo violin and 'cello, and orchestra, by Professor Paine, which...
