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. Vienna. L. H. Eisenmann. 24 [July 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.] THE JOHNSONIAN ANGLER. 25
