Not illustrated. 1895 Excerpt: ...which differs materially from our system, and seems not so good, since it makes a series of anticlimaxes where there is nothing to gain and everything to lose. There is not the same chance of bruising a man in Rugby Union as there is in our game, but there is infinitely more danger in the Association, where, when players meet on a ball and attempt to kick it in different directions, broken legs may result, besides the further danger, entirely unknown to our game, of kicking a man in the head or body. Altogether, after a careful study of English football, I am more devoted than ever to the American game, more firmly convinced of its exceptionally good qualities, its skill, its ruggedness, and its demand on brain and brawn. vni CLUB FOOTBALL When I say that Oxfordshire, with a population of about 186,000, supports upwards of one hundred teams, some idea may be gained of the popularity of football in England--a popularity so wide-spread, in fact, as to be the most obstinate thorn in the flesh of the two governing bodies, or, rather, in that of one of them--Rugby--since the Association seems long ago to have given up the fight for purity and decency in the sport it is alleged to direct. So rapid and so far-reaching has been the popularization of the game in the last decade, that it has ceased to be mere recreation, and become, instead, a commercial speculation, particularly in the more flourishing Association centres, where regular limited-liability companies live and prosper, with football as their sole raison d'etre. These companies own grounds, maintain teams, arrange matches, pocket the gate receipts, pay the players, and altogether are organized for business on a business basis, to make trading in football-players as profitable as they would have it in cat...

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Excerpt: ...than one Indian at a time, and so they are taken into the " store " singly, and the door is bolted, and life immediately becomes a burden to the Hudson's Bay Company officer. If there is anything in the stock that has not been overhauled and priced before the Indian exhausts his credit, it is only because it is out of sight. But in a way he is a satisfactory sort of a customer. He is not exacting as to what he gets, so long as he gets something; he may really want beads or duffel, but if there is none of either he as readily takes a copper teakettle or a knife. It is quite unimportant that he may actually need neither. He is particular on one point only, and that is, he never leaves the store so long as he has a " made beaver" to spend, and when he has used up his due he always makes an eloquent and vigorous appeal for gratuity or debt. As a matter of fact, these Indians are most considerately and generously treated by the company; they are paid a good price for their fur, and the worthy, and many times the unworthy, are often given both debt and gratuity. There are no Indians I know of that are better treated, and few as well. Nor have I ever visited a country where trade competition operated less to the advantage of the natives. The few independent traders that have worked their way into this North country have done little, so far as I could see, beyond raising the value of certain kinds of fur above its fair marketable value, which in some lines has necessitated the introduction of an inferior quality of stuff for trade. So that the Indian has really been the loser. Although several hundred Indians bring their fur to Resolution, and the "census" of the post is returned as about 300, as at Chipewyan the actual...
