As to Pace, if your strength and stature is little, your pace cannot be fast. The lawyer, who, entering upon business, desires that sine qua non,-an excellent library,-will find at Little, Brown & Co.’s, the only full collection of legal works in this vicinity. The late Theodore Thropplestance had left her, some thirty-five years ago, in absolute possession of a considerable fortune, a large landed property, and a gallery full of valuable pictures. Mr. Bisset had evidently been studying architecture as well as science, and no doubt would have given Miss Farmond some valuable information on the subject. They look well at their mark, and bowl before they have swung too far round for the line of sight to be out of the line of the wicket. Most amateurs bowl long hops. 2. Never bowl a single ball but in your chosen and adopted form and style-with the same steps, and with the ball held in the same way, "If these seem small things, habit is not a small thing." Also, never go on when you are too tired to command your muscles; else, you will be twisting yourself out of form, and calling new and conflicting muscles into action.

Consult and experiment till you have chosen the style that suits the play of your muscles and your strength. To form a steady habit of bowling, the nerves and muscles being a very delicate machinery, you must be careful to use them in one way, and one way only; for then they will come to serve you truly and mechanically: but, even a few hours spent in loose play-in bowling with few steps or many, or with a new mode of delivery-will often establish conflicting habits, or call into action a new set of muscles, to interfere with the muscles on which you mainly depend. Secondly, having definitely chosen one form and style of bowling, the next thing is to fix it and form it into a habit: for, on the law of Habit a bowler's accuracy entirely depends. First, consult with some Lillywhite or Wisden, and fix on one, and one only, plan of holding the ball, manageable pace, and general style of delivery.

The more spin you give the ball, the better the delivery; because then the ball will twist, rise quickly, or cut variously, the instant it touches the ground. Clarke is not conscious of any attempt to make his ball spin or twist: a certain action has become habitual to him. The adversary plays to knock that disk out and leave his own in its place-particularly if it rests upon the 9 or 10 or some other of the high numbers; but if it rests in the "10-off" he backs it up-lands his disk behind it a foot or two, to make it difficult for its owner to knock it out of that damaging place and improve his record. All the tortures torn out of forgotten hells could not make him admit that he was heretical. I BEAT HER BRAINS OUT. 4. A golden rule for straight bowling is to present, at delivery, a full face to the opposite wicket; the shoulders being in the same line, or parallel with, the crease.

There is nothing more certain than that in golf, as in cricket, great length of hit is possible to those whose joints are full of oil and supple, and to those only, which in other words means youth. His delivery was easy and natural; he had a thorough command of his arm, and gave great spin to the ball. See how easy to play is a throw, or a ball from a catapult; and simply because the ball has then no spin. "Shall we play a carambolage, Senator? Monk was coming downstairs from his study with Danvers, and Farnie was leaving the fags' day-room. On the following afternoon Monk, Danvers, Waterford, and he hired a boat and went up the river together. We went over to Cummings' (at Margate) in the evening, and as it was cold, we stayed in and played games; Cowing, as usual, what is billiards overstepping the mark. He may turn over and explore a million objects, but he must not find that strange object, the universe; for if he does he will have a religion, and be lost. We must congratulate ourselves that the glorious element of humour is never quite absent from golf, serious though the game and the Scotch nation be.
