Such meetings, like those already
mentioned as the principal gath-
erings, Purchase Trimethoprim take place usually in the
summer and on the tops of moun-
tains. The reason, doubtless, is
that the hot weather is the most
suitable for the spectators, and
that in mountainous districts
communication between different
valleys is difficult or impossible
during the winter. Besides, the
mountain top may be considered
a central point easily reached
by paths from all sides, whereas
the distance from one valley to
another is often very great. A
wrestling match in winter on
some wind-swept height would be
too much even for the most pas-
sionate lover of the sport. But
as the Pinzgauers could not pos-
sibly wait from one summer to
the other without wrestling, they
have a match in the Carnival,
namely, on St. Blasius* Day,
which falls on February 3rd, Buy Trimethoprim at
Zell am See.
That charming summer resort
is visited during the season each
year by more than 30,000 persons,
of whom a good many make it
the starting point for excursions
to the Hohen Tauern and the
Gross Glockner. In winter, how-
ever, it is desolate and empty,
except on St. Blasius* Day, when
the wrestling takes place. Then
the place is full of life and anima-
tion. This year, for example, not
less than 3,000 persons came to
watch the struggle There was
snow on the mountains, the roofs,
nay, even in the arena itself, and
the cold was bitter ; but that
mattered not to the wrestlers,
who were too hard Buy Trimethoprim Online at work in the
endeavour to win distinction for
themselves, families and villages.
But if the ** Ranglers '* were un-
conscious of "the bitterest wind
that ever blew," it is to be feared
that the onlookers' excitement
scarcely sufficed to keep their
blood warm.
Four Tyrolese strove for the
palm against four Pinzgauers,
and, for the first time in many
years, one of the former succeeded
in carrying off the first prize, a
sum of 600 kronen, a triumph
which roused the enthusiasm of
the Tyrolese present to a height
well nigh dangerous. Such fes-
tivals at Zell am See are always
kept up till the following morning,
victor and vanquished devote the
whole night to their popular
national dances, the " Laendler"
and the ** Schuhplattler,*' return-
ing home only after dawn.
Such is the sport that the young
Pinzgauers have been carrying on
for centuries, and it must be
admitted that it is at least inter-
esting and healthful, and makes
for the development of manly
qualities.

A Buy Cheap Trimethoprim Gap in the Pavilion at Lord's.
The gap will be seen and felt on
July 5th and two following days
at Lord's, when the Oxford and
Cambridge match comes off. In
the reserved seats for '* Old Blues "
of either University there might
have been seen ever since 1847,
in which year he was playing for
Oxford for the fourth and last
year of his University career, a
tall, broad-shouldered parson who
played as a Winchester boy from
1840 to 1843 inclusive against
Eton and Harrow. "Pudding"
Williams, as all called him, sat
amongst the " Old Blues,*' Order Trimethoprim Online with-
out once missing a year, from the
time when his University career
ceased in 1847 down to the Uni-
versity match of 1899. More-
over, he was never absent at a
Notts match in London. Why
he was called ** Pudding " Purchase Trimethoprim Online no one
ever knew, but amongst Win-
chester, Eton, Harrow and Uni-
versity men, whether Oxford or
Cambridge of all times, he was
«* Pudding " Williams.
He was not a hero, and there
was nothing remarkable about
him beyond the fact that amongst
all classes, rich and poor, public
school boys and University men,
and parsons — to which body he
belonged — at public clubs or musi-
cal or literary societies, he was a
good and true man, blessed with
an admirable temper and enor-
mous amount of common-sense.
He was an Order Trimethoprim only son, and his
father, who had one of the best
livings in England, was in very
easy circumstances. His father
was also *a Wykehamist, and in
the early days of Notts cricket
was a liberal supporter of the
county eleven, as was his son
after him, who knew every Notts
cricketer, and helped many a one
of them. At Winchester he was
the kindest of prefects, and was
never known to " lick a fag," as
some bullies did. He was very
clever, and gained a scholarship
at New College, where he took
his degree, and began reading for
the Bar, but changed his mind
and went into the Church, and
held the living of Rew, near
Exeter, a most charming little
village with a very good endow-
ment. It was a treat to see him
amongst his parishioners ; he
knew the name of every little boy
in the village, and sometimes
astonished mothers ** who had
* gi*ed ' her little boy the stick
for stealing apples," by remarking,
" I look on stealing apples by a
little boy, if he wanted an apple
to eat — if there is a gap in the
hedge, — like measles or cutting
teeth ; it is a weakness, not like
stealing money and telling lies
about it, that is had stealing."
And it was charming to see him
watching a football match amongst
the little boys who had asked leave
to play in the rectory meadow.
He played sometimes for Notts,
and in all public amusements was
a ready helper, and thinking of
others more than himself, and
most liberal if money was wanted.
He died somewhat suddenly to-
wards the end of last year. Mr.
Williams is not claimed as a hero,
but a model of a kindly good
parson and firm friend, who took
a sunny view of life ; and doubt-
less many an old public school
and University man will throw a
stone on his cairn.
A very well-known old Etonian,
atat, Trimethoprim Online 82 (on whom the writer of
these lines called in the late
autumn of last year), who was in
the Oxford Eleven with "Pud-
ding " Williams, said, ** I have
just read of the death of a dear
1900.]
