Doings Of The Week.

DOINGS OF THE WEEK .

EASTERTIDE inaugurates the otit-door holiday season . Tew , Ave imagine , can have had much fault to find with one very important element in pleasure . The clerk of the weather has not heen latterly very considerate , hut in one respect he has favoured us . There has heen little

risk of getting wet , though great , of catching cold . The keen East wind has blown through and through us , and seemingly all round us . That we have survived the trial , is a subject of great thankfulness . But we have no particular affection for March winds , however seasonable they

may be . We seem to prefer something slightly more genial . We are advocates for thoroughness in most matters , but the perishing thoroughness of a Nor ' -Easter is one of the things a " fellah " certainl y has no hankering after . However , sufficient for the time is the wind thereof .

We are blown , as regards this particular grievance . A holiday without sport were , in some respects , an absurdity . It is a matter of course , then , that all who had time , money , or inclination , have been indulging in laborious pleasure . By this we mean , they passed several hours , on

one or more particular days , in reaching some particular spot . Then they ate and drank , as suited them , and then they spent several hours in returning home . This we believe to be an Englishman ' s idea of pleasure . Ten hours ' close packing in a fusfcy-musty railway carriage , plus two

hours of scramble for something to eat and much to drink . Such is the average Briton ' s idea of relaxation from labour . We would , for ourselves , far rather labour . We keenly appreciate " nothing . " The sensation of nothing to do or to say , to the man who has been saying or doing much for a long series of months , is simply delicious .

Good Friday was the opening day of the Easter Holidays . The wind being high , and the day just outside one of the limits within which watercarts are engaged to lay the dust in our thoroughfares , progress through the streets was , to say the least , attended with much discomfort .

Clearly , the ghost of red-tapeism haunts those to whom the government of our roadways is entrusted . Or , it may be , some eminent authority is in search of a new thing about road making , or perchance a precedent is wanting . Meantime , the wind has blown and the dust has risen ,

while the watercarts , till this week , have been conspicuous by their absence . This is what we call being a practical people , the truth being that in this and other matters of a similar kind we set common sense wholly at defiance . However , old Jupiter Pluvius being favourable , London , in

spite of the wind , set forth in its thousands and ten thousands in search after pleasure . We are not ubiquitous . To record , therefore , what happened in all directions is impossible , even were it desirable . We flatter ourselves , moreover , that our theory and our practice are

always on good terms with one another . We saw great crowds , and a good deal of rough horseplay , and that rough badinage which passes with the cockney for wit . Among tho most noteworthy matters to be chronicled must be mentioned the great wrestling fete , at Lillie Bridge , of the

Cumberland and Westmoreland Society , which is not merely a society for encouraging this particular kind of sport , but also a benefit society , which finds funds for indigent members . Formerly this annual festival of the two northern counties was hold in tho Agricultural Hall .

Last year , however , they took to the West Brompton Grounds , and were so satisfied with the result as to renew their acquaintance with it this year . There was a goodl y array of entries , including most of the best men of the day , while the spectators are estimated to have reached

the very respectable figure of G 000 . The result , wo imagine , must have been hi ghly gratifying , both as regards flie spectacle and the society ' s funds . More wrestling followed on Saturday , but of the catchhold kind , so that Cumberland and Westmoreland wore able to meet Devon
