ON THE PITCH.

By Tho Barber

It has always been a wonder to me how the spirit of volunteering was kept up in this colony, and more especially in A shburton. For years the Ashbur ton corps received thecoldestpossibleneglect at the hands of the authorities, And had the company not contained in its ranks a strong leaven of loyal young fellows who stuck gamely to the old flag in spite of all sorts of snubs and heart breaking obstacles to success, the corps would have been dead ages ago—dead from want of breath. But the corps lived in spite of everything, and showed on several occasions that it was made of the right kind of stuff. When Te Whiti was troublesome at Parihaka, John Bryce rode the historical white horse at the head of a volunteer army, and Te Whiti found that " the potato wm cooked." The moral effect of that army cooked the Te Whiti goose, and the old would-be rebel shut up like a knife,and trouble with him ended there Ashbur ton sent a strong contingent to that expedition, and a stronger one wag ready to go next boat had they been wanted, and more to follow after them. They were not wanted luckily. When the Russian scare of 1884 waa on, the way in which the corps recruited uptoover 100, and another corps sprang into existence was a thing to make a note of. The corps has held its own in a good many stiff competitions in drill and other marters, and has won several trophies. Altogether a deserv ing little corps of which the town may well be proud. When Colonel Fox went romping round the colony on that memorable occasion which preceded the publication of that terrible report of his, he had nothing by kindly com plimentary things to say of the Ash burton corps, lie chawed up a number of ornamental officers in several parts of the colony, and they did not half like the masticating operation, but he paid compliments to our officers, and all hands thought we were booked for a flaming paragraph in the report. So we were. He as good as said the Ashburton lot were about as good as any he had met in his tour of inspec tion ; but—-he advised their disband mcnt i

It was Edgar Allan Poe, I think, who spoke of certain angels who blessed his darling, and she died. Colonel Fox blessed the Ashburton corps, and wanted it to die, along with the Temuka, Waimate, and in fact all the other country corps along the line. He had no doubt very good reasons for giving the corps what was intended for a blessing as he lifted his hand to slay it. But while our lads took the bless ing they declined to die, even with the colonel's blessing on their heads. And so somebody went to somebody who was somebody more than Colonel Fox, and the Ashburton corps in conse quence finds itself still alive and very much kickingi The Colonel blessed the lads again on Friday evening, and as good as said he was proud of the corps that he couldn't kill with a recommendation. And the lads deserve his blessing, for it is a really good, well-drilled, and well disciplined corps. But apparently all the country corps he has had occasion to inspect are not of the same material as the Ashburton company. This is how, according to the Temuka Leader, he gave the corps there particular fits:—At the close Colonel Fox said he was veiy sorry to notice a falling off in the drill. Last time he thought a great deal of the Temuka Rifles, and now he was very much disappointed with them. The explanation was that they had not attended drill. It was not the slightest good for the company to hang together if they would only drill for a few days in the year. There were some com panies which drilled well, and did other things well, and fail in others, but this company could do nothing well. He was sorry to see this, and he hoped now they would band themselves together, and put their shoulder to the wheel, so that next time he came he •would be proud of them. At present he was not proud of them.

There is evident.]/ some doubt as to the nativity of St Patrick, the gentle man whom the song says came of dacent people. At the festivity in the Oddfellows' Hall on Friday night I heard St Patrick's nativity discussed by a select crowd of colonials of various nationalities. One of the crowd was a Welshman, and had seen the castle in Wales: where St Patrick was born, and the monastery in which he was edu cated, and the proud Welshman swelled with greater pride when he also claimed for his country the honor of having been visited by and preached to by the Great Apostle of the Gentiles. Another who took part in the discus sion would have it that St Patrick was a native of the far north of Scotland, but bid failed to, do any good &moug the hard headed and somewhat •« practical " people of that region. In fact the " dues" the Saint got there would not have kept a Chinaman alive long enough to say twenty prayers to his native Joss. An irreverent person cut in with a remark that St Patrick was a Hungarian Jew, and for this extraordinary claim a mild-souled Irishman gently rebuked him. Another gentleman of the same race was not so gentle, and said things the claimant for Hungary didn't like, and he retorted with something about St Patrick's goat having been stolen by one of the Irishman's ancestors. Then there would have been wigs in the air and hats on the green had not the quieter Milesian harked back to the birthplace question and put in a claim for some place with a classically Erse name. But the discussion inconti nently ended in wild laughter when a man from the Woollen Factory, with a Glasgow accent you could cut with a knife, cut in with an order to them all to shut up, and speak about things they knew.—"St Patrick was born at Kaiapoi."

If you want to hear a good story, well told, get among a select crowd of Irishmen on St Patrick's Day. The story that most tickled me was told by a good Catholic, and a Scotchman at that, though the auditors were Irish men. An old Scotch Highlander was dying, and sent for a neighboring priest With whom he was on friendly terms. He bad beard of making con* fession, and who better to hear bis tU*o a wan whose duty it was to hear

those of his flock. The old invalid went over a list of his wrong doings, and when asked if that was all said, cOu ay, but there's ac thing I dinna like to tell you." Me was told his confession to be any good must be full and unreserved. "Aweel, ye see, it was an awfu' dry year." " What has that to do with your confession ?" " I hadna nae fodder for ma coos ?" "Well?" "I sellt a' my coos."i " Well V "An I stealt another man's coo." " Ah, that was wrong. Did you make restitution." "JNa. I kilt j her and eatit her." "Then you must make restitution before you die." "It was an awfu' dry year, sir." " That has nothing to do with it. You must make restitution, or what will you say to that man on the Great Day when he stands there staring you in the face, and pointing to the cow you stole." " Kh, sir, will the man be there 2" "He will." "An' will the coo be there tae?" "She will." "Aweel then I'll just tell the man tae tak' back his coo."

I take considerable interest in the grand old game of cricket, and natur ally am pleased to know that we have a junior club for the training of our town boys. I have several times wit nessed what they call their practice. They must not be angry if I tell them that according to how I was trained it is no practice at all. Some four or five balls are in play at one time, and everybody seems to be either bowling or batting—nobody does any fielding at all. I don't call a leisurely dodge out after a ball that has been hit fielding, any more than I call a request tendered to a kiddiwiddie to hunt in a ball fielding. If that club is ever going to do any good for itself, and to avoid lazy habits in the field, it must go to work with some system. They cannot all be bowlers, though they might all be bats, but the essential is fielding, and they must all be good fielders, and fit for any part of the field. It is not tco late in the season yet for them to lay a good foundation in training, and the sooner they get a coach for that purpose the better. There is one gentleman in the town than whom no other is better qualified to undertake the duty, and I am sure he would be only too pleased to do it, I refer to Mr Mainwaring, and if the lads wish to become good cricketers they should elect him their training captain at once. They will never regret it, and when they have been under him for a week, thay will not be angry with the Barber for giving them this very straight tip.
