...seems to me that it is about time that something should be said in defence of that much-maligned creature the proctor. The violent censure and scathing sarcasm that have been hurled upon his defenceless head for weeks past have entirely destroyed his nervous system. He has grown prematurely old. I dare say that a close observer could detect a few straggling gray hairs in his head. No more do we hear the sound of the "squeaking boots" ; his manly tread is silenced.

THOUGH in the main successful during the past few weeks, our Nine has not shown such field playing as their record during the early part of the season promised.

Boots that squeak are a nuisance; doubly...

By the arrangements which have been made with Mr. Blakey, and on which the existence of the clubs now hangs, unless about eight more men join each club and pay their money this year, the club-system must be numbered among the things of the past. The evil of this state of things is apparent to all. If the clubs are discontinued no persons...
