LORD'S!
Table of Contents
Two crowned boys in robes.There's a glorious sanctum of cricket,
Away in the Wood of St. John;
No spot in creation can lick it
For the game at which Grace is the don.
Though Melbourne may claim a Medina,
The Mecca
of cricket must be
In the beautiful classic arena,
The home of the old
M. C. C.
Home, sweet home of the M. C. C.,
Ever my fancy is turning to thee!
Up with King Willow and down with the dumps
Hark to the rattle of leather and stumps.
Oh, what a rapturous thrill it affords!
Give yourself up to the magic of Lord's.
Scoring for Dr. Grace.—A running commentary.
All Work and no Play.—The umpire's part.
The Irrepressible Joker Again (on bail.)—
Q. Where ought ducks' eggs to be most readily found? A. At the Oval.
[Bail estreated.
Hairdressing salon.
Hairdresser (about to part customer's hair). Centre, sir?
Flannelled fool (rather an absent-minded beggar). "Oh—er—middle an' 'eg!"
ALL THE YEAR ROUND;
Table of Contents
Or, Keeping Up the Ball.
Man with cricket ball on end of nose.A straight tip and a new sensation.
When September soaks the fields,
And the leaves begin to fall,
Cricket unto football yields,—
That is all!
Yes—in hot or humid weather,
At all seasons of the year,
Life is little without leather
In a sphere.
In the scrimmage, at the stumps,
'Neath the goal, behind the sticks,
Life's a ball, which Summer thumps,
Winter kicks.
Our terrestrial ball
is round,
(Is it an idea chimerical?)
Man, by hidden instincts bound,
Loves the spherical.
In rotund, elastic bounders,
Plainly the great joy of men is,
Witness cricket, billiards, rounders,
And lawn-tennis.
Classic Title for Dr. Grace.—The Centurion.
Man and woman talking at cricket match.
He. You're fond of cricket, then?
She. Oh, I'm passionately devoted to it!
He. What part of a match do you enjoy the most?
She. Oh, this part—the promenade!
MR. PUNCH KEEPS HIS EYE ON CRICKET
Cartoon part one.Then (1841)
Cartoon part two.And Now (1891).
Toast for Tavern Landlords.—The Cricketer, who always runs up a score by his innings.
Appropriate Cricket Ground.—Battersy-Park.
Things to which Cricketing Members of the Anti-Gambling League are Addicted.—Pitch
and Toss.
Dr. W. G. Grace's Favourite Dish.—Batter pudding.
Batsman bowled out.
At the Eton and Harrow Match.—Simperton. What, you in light blue, Miss Gloriosa! I thought you were Harrovian to the core!
Miss Gloriosa. So I am, but I'm also Cambridge, and as I can't possibly afford two new dresses in one week, I decided to choose the most becoming colour!
[And Simperton of the dark blue was quite satisfied with the explanation.

(A Cricketer's "Catch Air—
Come Follow!")
First Voice. Come follow, follow, follow, follow, follow, follow on!
Second Voice. Why then should I follow, follow, follow, why then must I follow, follow on?
Third Voice. When you're eighty runs or more behind our score you follow on!
Boy speaking to mother.
Train up your Parents the Way they Should Go.
—You know papa has been asked to play in the 'Fathers against the Boys' match?
"Yes, mother. But I hope the boys will win this year. If the fathers win
