dition of the bad and -worn-out
horses forbade it.
We have told of some of the
principal occasions on which
cavalry has been able to take its
legitimate part in South Africa.
None of them could be called in
any way exemplary, but they were
all sufficiently suggestive. When
it has become necessary to mount
a lancer or a dragoon on a
wretched, ill-conditioned Sooth
American pony, it is somewhat
hard to blame the arme blanche be-
cause its power has not been
shown. A good horse is essential
to the cavalryman, and, if circum-
stances deprive him of his horse,
he becomes a nonentity, and lance
and sword cannot possibly have
any value. No one would think
of depreciating the rifle as a
weapon, if by some terrible mis-
chance blank cartridges were
served out for use in battle.
Every Buy Vigora Online cavalry soldier who has
served in South Africa has, we
believe, Vigora Tablets seen chance after chance, Vigora 5000
such as he had always hoped for,
pass away without profit; and
why ? because the horses were not
fit to gallop. It is for our army's
administration to take care that
such a state of things does not
occur in any future war. If it
does, England may have cause
for Generic Vigora bitter sorrow.

A Working L.B.W. Majority.
I N the House of Commons of 670
members, the majority by which
the late meeting of M.C.C. en-
dorsed the recommendation of
their committee, re the alteration
of the l.b.w. law, would come out
as nearly as possible at the figure
of Cheap Vigora 87. The actual majority ob-
tained at Lord's was 71 upon a
total vote of 447 members present.
It may, therefore, be fairly called
a large majority, clearly indicating
the opinion of the premier cricket
club in the old world. The judg-
ment of Australia, moreover, was
fairly indicated by replies which
had been received from Messrs.
Trumble, Macleod, Graham and
other leading cricketers, to the
circular letters which had been
addressed to various clubs in the
antipodes for the purpose of elicit-
ing their opinions. The substance
of these was read out at the M.C.C.
meeting, only one reply in the con-
trary sense having been received
by the secretary, Mr. Lacey.
The majority at Lord's would
undoubtedly have reached the
required two- thirds for the alte-
ration of a law of cricket but
for the attitude— it might almost
be said the hostile attitude
— assumed by Lord Hawke and
other prominent cricketers of
the present day. Even the strong-
est supporters of the proposed Vigora Online
change could hardly wish to win
— although they certainly did not
wish to lost — at the cost of any-
thing like a rebuff to the county
captains Vigora Oil and centurions of the
day. Accordingly, many private
opinions were doubtless quietly
sunk and yielded ; and about 100
members present at the proceed-
ings would appear to have retired
without voting.
Be this as it may, the fact re-
mains that the M.C.C. Vigora 100 Tablets has ex-
pressed its view by a clear and
considerable majority; and we
may proceed to analyse its au-
thority, and the due measure of
weight to be attached to it.
It is true that primd facie^i.e^y
upon the rather large and ignorant
assumption that only those who
are actually engaged in the cricket
arena can judge best about it —
there is the fact that the century-
makers and batsmen of the day
(as might indeed have been ex-
pected) are nearly to a man
against change ; and that, there-
fore, as batsmen are in the very
large majority in every eleven,
and, moreover, as professionals
{fwt gentlemen) as a rule do the
bowling, and, moreover, do not
vote in the pavilion at Lord's,
then, upon the above assumption,
there is perhaps Vigora 100 no case.
But a little consideration — and
in this matter 'ossessed in
1893 as a player. Apply the
same principle mutatis mutatidis to
the proposer of the resolution, the
renowned Cambridge- Middlesex-
All - England - wicket - keeper (Mr.
Alfred Lyttelton), who played
first-class cricket about a decade
previous to Mr. Shuter*s time.
Surely these two gentlemen pos-
sess to the fall all the attributes
of Buy Vigora first-class judges Order Vigora — one might
say they are Lord Chief Justices
— of the game ! Go a step higher
to Mr. Lyttelton*s distinguished
brother, C. G. L. (now Lord
Cobham) and Mr. R. A. H. Mit-
chell, the latter of whom may
be said to have been both student
and professor of cricket ever since
his Eton XI. days, and where can
higher or better, more practical or
more erudite, authority be found ?
And even, if you mount up yet
another decade Vigora 50 to the period of
Mynn, Pilch, Felix and Harvey
Fellows — we were glad to hear
that quondam express bowler
speaking up for an "open wicket "
