MANAGER McURAW, ‘Then up spake manager McGraw In a voice resembling @ roar, “Say, base ball ain't in It With’ 'Rad-Bridge’ a minute, plays to the score.” YING CARDS The Summer Outing (How the Hungarians enjoy themselves at summer resorts is shown in the follow- jing extract from a Hungarian writer) One year we went to a very fashion- able resort. There I had to fight four one with a gentleman who stared at my wife, one with a gentle- man at whose wife I stared, the third with the physician of the place, who gathered practice by forcing duels on the guests, and the fourth with the director of the place, because | re- marked on the poor quality of’ the food. The next year we went to a water- ing-place of the second class. There was nothing to eat and drink but bit- ter cheese and sweet milk. Further- more, the town had a dispute with the manager of the summer hotel, and so the farmers drove their cattle across the promenade. For two months it was the chief business of my life to fight cows, and to this day if I meet a cow 1 give her a push, and if a cow meets me she runs, The next summer we tried Buda- kezs. But there the guests had a fair every night for the benefit of Suabian children, for whom boots and shoes were to be procured, although they looked upon the articles with in- creased mistrust. . . . And then in the autumn we come . back, worn out, to our dear old Buda- pest, and sing the praises of our sum- mer resort so vigorously that in the course of a fortnight we really begin to believe we have had a good time. During the third week we commence reviling the capital, and next summer we flee to the country again. —From the Hungarian by Victor Rokosi.
