    Boating.* Sports And Pastimes, As Descri...

    BOATING . * Sports and pastimes , as described in the quickly-successive volumes of the Badminton Library , give a fresh interest to the literature

    of English , athletics , and out-door healthy

    amusement . The volume on cricket has just been opportunely published , but we hardly

    think that the series of books could contain a better work than that , now under notice , on boating . We are glad that oars and sculls

    ha have . vfi been VkPs « n described riA « f » TiV » firl so ho p leasantl ftn . siA . n'hlv y - , jvn and d that t . hat oxtraneouB matter has been rejected . To ! write a full account of boating as a general -subject would mean the filling of volumes

    a fair account of one of the most popular and manly of English pastimes . It was fortunate that the editor secured the

    co-operation of the head master of Eton , whose introduction to the volume appropriately recites the earlhistory of boat-building and

    oarsmanship , especiall y y as disclosed by classical ^ 7 writers and by ancient sculptures . Interesting

    though this be , as coming from the pen of one of our best authorities on the subjectmost

    readers will turn with curiosity to the modern , portion ¦ norf . ion of nf the f . ViA book V » nnlc . which ivliioTi deals rlftala with ivif . h the f . hfi de Hft - -
