We were entertained in royal style wherever we went and apparently there was nothing too good for us.

Lords and ladies were largely in evidence among the spectators wherever we played and among our own countrymen residing in the British metropolis we were the lions of the day.
The contrast between the crowds in attendance at our games there and those that greeted us at home attracted my attention most forcibly.

An English crowd is at all times quiet and sedate as compared with a crowd in our own country.

They are slower to grasp a situation and to seize upon the fine points of a play.

This, so far as base-ball was concerned, was only to be expected, the game being a strange one, but the same fact was true when it came to their own National game, that of cricket.
