A club-house was built, and grounds were laid out in a moderate way. There was a plank lawn tennis court, which was one of the pioneer courts in this country. The nucleus of the Club sport was the great national game, base ball. This was played under unusual conditions, — being supported during play by frequent "wee nips " of Myopia punch, our own brew. It proved a great " mascot," and is responsible for many a victory and also for the birth of the Club. At any rate, as seen through the spectacles of time, it moved us to the idea of forming a Club, and no doubt the punch had its influence in selecting the name Myopia. Eye- glasses were a badge of distinction, amounting to a de- coration. Many Myopes wore them on the ball-field. 8 The Apocrypha The annual after-dinner processions through the club-house may be recalled, — a bath-tub for a bass drum. Though there may have been most extraor- dinary variations in the musical time of the drum, and great unsteadiness in the ranks, yet as they were never inspected by any military critics, there can be no doubt that at least they would have amused the Napoleons, and would have been reported on as unique, if not up to the highest military standards. A Myopia omelette was invented ; and the fra- grance of its rich aroma, when it filled the nostrils of the bust of " Homer " (labeled " An Early Myo- pian") put life into the very clay. A momentary expression of delight, mingled with an air of grati- tude for small favors received, passed over the face. With true poetic grace, no visible sign of aggrava- tion was manifested, though it might have been excused, considering the " Early Myopian's " long fast. At Lexington, near Winchester, an Englishman who had letters from a high English legal authority was entertained at a dinner. It was known that he was taking notes of his American experiences. Every opportunity was given him to study American table manners. He was joked in bad grammar and per- haps with bad pranks, and was finally honored by a Myopia land-slide. He was amused, if not some- what startled, and seemed credulous when told that Mr. H. A. Allan, Master The Apocrypha it was the greatest American compliment to a guest. A land-slide is produced by lifting one end of the table and forcing all the dishes to fall in a heap at the other end. This was an unusually prolonged one, as the table was long. The landlord's bill was also long, as a successful land-slide necessitates the smashing of much crockery. Strictly speaking, no defense of such a folly can be made ; still a book on The Toasts of all Nations might convince the skep- tical that in more than one nation glasses are broken after drinking. Besides, with all the everlasting talk some pour into the ears of travelers through our country about our magnificent distances, high moun- tains, long and wide rivers, and " great institutions," we were rather forced to emphasize the social side in some way, in order that the greatness of our fol- lies might make the affair distinctively American, Shortly after this an English lord visited Boston ; and wishing to send home to his mother " some- thing distinctively American," as he expressed it, a local wit suggested " a barrel of Cape Cod cranber- ries." After two years of base ball, lawn tennis, and up- setting the dignity of the plastic " Homer " with omelettes, Myopians began to sigh for new sports. As the printing-press and steam-engine appeared just in the nick of time to benefit mankind, so Hunting appeared, to interest Myopians ; and it probably saved the name of Myopia from oblivion. lo The Apocrypha The sport of hunting was suggested at Winchester by Mr. F. H. Prince, who had followed the hounds at Newport. In 1881, hounds were brought from Canada to Winchester by Master H. A. Allan. Here occurred, on an unusually fine December morning, the famous " kill " when snow was on the ground, described by those who were there as having more of the quality of true sport than any other hunting scene they had ever witnessed. Genuine " brushes " of the Reynard variety exist at this day which were once worn by Winchester foxes. As the Hunt first passed through Lexington Green the pink was an apparition to the old town, rich in Revolutionary history. Old flintlocks fell from over the fireplace where they had lain for a century in their efforts to get into action. What might have happened is mere conjecture. The humorous re- mark of the oldest inhabitant as the Hunt proceeded towards the interior, that " ' redcoats ' when last seen on Lexington Green were going the other way," probably prevented a riot. Some Myopians are perhaps not aware that several private packs of hounds were owned in New Eng- land at least seventy-five years ago. The first case of a Boston lawyer, now one of the oldest members of the profession in the city, was against a huntsman almost sixty years ago. He The Apocrypha i i started out to collect his claim, accompanied by a young legal friend, in the first chaise used in the Hub, which was considered very " swell " in those days. After a long drive they arrived at their desti- nation, and were received by the huntsman in pink, just in from a successful morning, and their host, little suspecting their errand, invited them to break- fast. So lavish was his hospitality that they returned without mentioning the claim. At Winchester, during the winter of 1881, there was a great deal of talk about a Myopia spring race meeting. The conservatives were strong in their opinion that Boston would not patronize racing, and that it would be a flat failure. But the " plungers " prevailed, with the true Myopian spirit of going ahead and surmounting obstacles. The enthusiastic agreed to back what seemed rather a gigantic enter- prise in those days, and a steeple-chase meeting was advertised at Beacon Park, Brighton, in the spring of 1882. A long streamer "with the strange device" Myopia waved defiance to Boston Puritan prejudice against racing. A party of New York men who had come on to Boston to ride, while in a carriage driving to the Park, were asking each other what "Myopia" meant, when to their astonishment the driver, with the usual "Beg your pardon, sir," in rather a didac- tic manner informed them that " Myopia " was de- 12 The Apocrypha rived from the Greek and meant near-sightedness. "You get inside, and I will drive!" wzs. the quick- witted cosmopolitan recognition of such profundity by one of the New Yorkers. So, after a long Rip Van Winkle slumber, racing was revived, and the new era of racing began which is now so successfully carried on by the Country Club of Brookline. The first Myopia Club races at Bea- con Park drew an attendance of about eight hundred people ; but as the purses were very small the guar- antors were called on for very little money, if any, to settle all bills. The races at the Country Club are now attended by four to five thousand people, — about all the grounds can accommodate comfortably. There must have lurked in the Puritan Boston of 1882 some of the Cromwellian strain (Cromwell owned race-horses and ran them), as has been shown by the increased interest in this sport. In 1882 the Country Club was organized, which probably was suggested by the possibilities of the greater field for racing and other sports under a stronger club, nearer Boston, Winchester being too far for afternoon driving. As the Country Club absorbed the Myopia Club, the latter dissolved in 1883. The Myopia Club lived a useful life and did good missionary work in suggesting the idea of country clubs near Boston, and fairly earned the title of a mother of sport for this The Apocrypha 13 vicinity. Through the Myopia Club, racing was revived and hunting was introduced. The club was always active in spreading the glad tidings of outdoor life. The name was preserved to posterity through the Myopia Fox-Hounds, formed in 1882, composed of thirty members. The kennels were on the Myo- pia Club grounds in Winchester. The roll-call of the Winchester battalions who are now members of the Myopia Hunt Club would not muster a corpo- ral's guard ; and it is a matter of deep regret that so many have resigned who resurrected hunting with a pack of hounds and who were the first to introduce a subscription pack and hunt club into this neighbor- hood. As these recollections of Winchester are largely drawn from memory, the records of the Myopia Club being either lost or destroyed, they have been written under the title of the Apocrypha. The glory of Winchester days was the good fel- lowship and brightness of its social club life. Bac- chus will vouch there was fun there. The faith in Bacchus seemed declining until a Bacchante * was sent to us, which has been domiciled in our most beautiful palace, rent free. Is this a Jesuitic move on the part of Bacchus to gain a foothold ? * Since the above was written, the Bacchante has been removed to the Metropolitan Museum, New York. 14 'The Apocrypha The inquiry might be pursued further by asking if the PubHc Library is to become a bacchanalian headquarters. But Bacchus is too late for Myopians. They re- nounced the faith years ago, and have embraced a new one. Inspired by fresh air and hunting they kneel at the altar of Diana. But in these days of broad views the exclusive worship of Diana is narrow and sectarian. The modern sportsman is not content with a sport lasting but a short season ; he must be a devotee to several, lasting through the year ; he must have a demi-god which includes every form of exercise, — in fact, something which in a larger sense represents his ideals and fills his imagination. Therefore Diana is now a saint ; and a god older than Homer — but, comparatively speaking, new to America — has ap- peared, whose temples are no longer slighted, but are daily thronged with the devout. All good, ad- vanced Myopians worship at this shrine, and when spelt in large letters the name of their deity is Sport.

Master RED ROOM and Other CHAT 11 INCHESTER not proving a happy hunting-ground, the Myopia Fox Hounds hunted from the Agawam House, Ipswich, in 1881, and in 1882 from the Gibney Farm, Ham- ilton. Mr, H. A. Allan was Mas- ter and hunted the hounds. The kennels were at Colt's Leap, Myopia Club Grounds, Winchester. In 1883 a canary-colored club-book appeared, bearing the title "Myopia Hunt Club." There were thirty members, and with subscribers the list showed about sixty in all. Mr. Seabury was Master and hunted the hounds at Brookline and Hamilton. The kennels were at Clyde Park, Brookline Coun- try Club Grounds, and at Gibney Farm, Hamilton. The hounds hunted the wild fox at both places. Paper chases were also run from the Country Club, Brookline. 24 Red Room and Other Chat From 1884 to I 89 1 the Club was known as the Myopia Hunt. In 1891 a new constitution was ac- cepted, and in due course the Club was incorporated in 1892, with the name Myopia Hunt Club. Its seal was dated 1882; its colors were pink and ca- nary. In 1885 ten couples of beagles arrived from England, the gift of Mr. G. H. Warren ; and they ran " drags " from the Country Club from the mid- dle of October until the heavy frosts set in, being hunted by Mr. Warren, who represented the Master at Brookline. Both packs were kept until 1888, when drags were given up at Brookline. In 1889 fox-hunting was practically abandoned at Hamilton, the beagles were disposed of, and the hounds were then used for running drags. Drags at Hamilton were at first laid for a distance of three to four miles, but have been increased to such a dis- tance that now a drag of ten miles is not unusual. It would be an endless task to string the beads of all the runs about Hamilton and the neighboring towns. Those interested are referred to the Hunt " Log-Book," which contains very full up-to-date records. Many would be disappointed if the fox-hunting about Framingham were not mentioned, and also the charming hospitality at Millwood Farm, the resi- dence of the late Mr. E. F. Bowditch. Red Room and Other Chat 25 Cheapness at Hamilton reigned supreme ; but no one grumbled at the loss of accustomed luxuries, as there was plenty of fun. Sport of the workmanlike sort caused even the blase to burst out into flames of enthusiasm. To men in the habit of rising late, the early morn- ing hunts were a new sensation. The first " pink- coat " coffee at five o'clock, A. M., was far from hilarious after only a short rest. In these days ladies are conspicuous by their absence from early morning meets ; and it is hard to realize the feeling of those present at the first appearance of the Dianas in the black of that raw, dismal autumn morning. It seems as if when ladies " touch our country their shackles fall." It was to many the emancipation of the Bos- ton girl from the slavery of conventionalism to the freedom of the " new woman." Jogging to cover, there was an efibrt to be social, though awkwardness on both sides was apparent. The bows were hardly up to the Papanti standard ; the talk was of the glum, monosyllabic order. But as the sun arose from behind the hill all was changed, and we warmed to the occasion and recovered our true selves. The first Club polo game, which was also the first game of polo in the vicinity of Boston, was played at Gibney Farm. The so-called Polo Ground, a rough pasture rolled for a week or two, was not worthy of the name. If the ground was bad, the 26 Red Room and Other Chat game was worse. It might be described as a suc- cession of scrimmages. Occasionally the ball was knocked out into the open, rushed for by the nearest rider, missed! then another scrimmage. So great, however, was the interest created by polo that the " hunters " began to quake, as they over- heard some of their masters of moderate means threaten to take up with " t' other dear charmer," not being able to coquette with both. Polo is a great game. By the enthusiasts it is ranked next to war. The " image of War " would suit us better, but as Mr. Jorrocks has spoken of hunting under this figure, out of respect for that ardent sportsman we forbear. In war some escape unharmed ; but in our first polo battles it is safe to include the total of both sides in the list of wounded. The ambulance was in frequent requisition during early games. Polo is no longer played with Indian barbarity and Indian riding, but is conducted according to the rules of modern civilized warfare. With improved tactics, and faster and more conservative riding, the " gallery " is spared many disagreeable sights which were of no interest to any except alarmed friends and the village doctor, — perhaps the patient should be included, though often unable to take any interest in anything. Our teams have won great games, and it is not invidious to say that in more than one R. L. AGASSIZ F. B. FAY R. G. SHAW, 2d A.P.GARDNER MVOPl.V POLtJ TEAM, 1.895 WON NMlONAl. Pol.O .\.SS(K T ATIflN C 1 1 \ MPII INSIIIP Red Room and Other Chat 27 year the " blue and white " have played a strong game. The Myopia polo team has never failed to throw down the gauntlet at Newport, the nerve centre of summer polo, in every tournament since 1889. Thus we have seen polo lifted from the merriment of a burlesque to the serious drama of a champion- ship. Some of the polo-field talk under excitement or disgust would appear far from pretty in print ; but we will draw the veil. It is pleasant to record the carriage of the captain of a visiting team. As he led his defeated quartette off our field, subjected to the misfortune of a " goose egg " for a game score, he jocundly remarked, " A most brilliant defeat ! " Such men are blessed with a temper which suggests the line, " Can make to-morrow as cheerful as to-day." The " to-morrow" was cheerful, as Myopians know, for he brought his team up to a point of skill that won victory, obtained his sporting revenge, as well as a reward for his buoyancy of spirit under defeat. At Gibney Farm House the Red Room was born with all its fascinations, even to the ladies. May it always be painted red. Here the object talkers most do congregate, and the noise and din is such that even a stock-broker might fear to enter ; yet it is very much like the " Board," all sports being dealt in, besides horses and ponies. In early polo days one 28 Red Room and Other Chat member fairly became a dealer in his anxiety to have the best, and sold a condemed lot of eight for a lump sum. The minds of some of the Red Room oracles are palaces ; they know what they know ; they are hard-riding squires, too. Dr. Johnson was a " cross-country man," was handy with his fists, and regretted the decline of pugilism in his day. If the shade of the learned Doctor should drop in at the Red Room during the heat of discussion, doubtless he would be pleased to discover that his own style of sledge-hammer ar- gument "when wishing to drive home a particular point" is still extant. Nevertheless, the Red Room object talker is " true blue," and merits being Bos- wellized. Some writers seem to think that Mr. Bos- well has rather overdone the Doctor. It is hoped that no critic will ever receive any support who tries to take Dr. Johnson out of the hunting-field. May Shakespeare's epitaph, " Curst be he who moves my bones," confront any House Committee who proposes any change in the Red Room ! At one time time the Red Room had a great rival in the " Raving Ward." It was an overflow sleep- ing-room, which looked like a hospital ward with its rows of beds. It was also an overflow bathroom. It had a " splash " and shower-bath, both well pat- ronized after a " run." Though the convivial glass will inspire the romance of hunting, it was demon- MR. PARKER. WHO SOMETIMES HUNTS THE HOUNDS Red Room and Other Chat 29 strated repeatedly that a cold shower causes the im- agination to run wild, and from it the most Mun- chausen-like tales of hunting experiences have been produced. The genial Baron himself would have found his invention dull here after a " run," such was the extravagance of the gasconade. One can read the Baron's delightful fancies in quiet, but a " Rav- ing Ward " rhapsody had to be listened to while some four or five other thrilling experiences were being told, all with great emphasis and power. The aggregate noise was like the roar of Niagara. From this stentorian shouting the room took its name. In the " Raving Ward " the Club crutches were then kept, and though significant of the perils of the chase they were seldom used. They stood in gloomy silence, with perhaps the pent-up indignation of wall- flowers, watching the bathers perform on the stilts of high spirits, — the effervescence of a successful "run." It is by no means from the dim past that the old " Chebacco " House looms up. The air seemed heavy as you entered the low-studded dining-room, with its chocolate and gilt wall paper, red tablecloth, and doily to match. Glancing about as one unfolded the doily, the surroundings caused a depressed feeling, — a sense of "carrying weight." A glass of cham- pagne, and the " carrying weight " feeling disappears, in time for the inevitable broiled chicken, — always good, perhaps for being cooked over a wood fire. 30 Red Room and Other Chat The old " Chebacco " days had a great deal of " GO ! " Such late dinners ; such late hours ; such larks! Who ever expects to dance again such Vir- ginia reels as when the village fiddler tuned the strings ? We are now out of the homespun, and wear good clothes. Riders no longer dispute over the " pink " and the " blue." To be correct one's colors must be well toned down to nature. The feeling towards the " pink " on the part of the well-toned, down-to- nature group suggests the story of the Englishman who, when his attention was called to the color of our autumn foliage, said, " But don't you think it a trifle gaudy?" Though the "pink" may go the way of all things, many will part with it with regret. It is still the prerogative of the farm-hand who takes a short burst in the rear on the farm utility horse to wear overalls, with galluses, no collar, and his large bandless straw hat. Golf has been introduced as a Myopia sport. Its development has been principally due to the efforts of Mr. Bush and Mr. Parker, who, in the opinion of many, have laid out one of the best inland courses in the country. Myopians have now a new side to their charac- ters. They have taken to golf seriously. Surely no- thing can be more serious with us — except perhaps the judges at the Horse Show — than the earnest Red Room and Other Chat 31 golfer. Members come into the Red Room after a hunt exhilarated, enthusiastic. The golfer is usually downcast after a round. Evidently to him " Youth is a blunder ; Manhood a struggle ; Old Age a re- gret." To check the risibilities required quite an effort as the first professional golf match was played, so downcast were the spectators. The funereal proces- sion wound over the hills and through the valley with an awful Hush ! Only the presence of a bier and the tolling of the village bell could have increased the solemnity. The following was overheard from the Pond teeing-ground : — " I just drove over the pond with a putter ! " «* Why did you do it ? " " Oh, in the cause of science," was the reply. This is the only sunbeam that was ever known to penetrate the gloom of Myopian golf. We no longer have a coach ; but a few years ago the coach " Myopia " ran from Manchester-by-the- Sea to the kennels on polo days. In another season the " Constitution " ran from Pride's Crossing to Manchester-by-the-Sea, thence to the kennels. Both were a credit to the Club, being well horsed and well managed in every way. Tandem meets in the past were very pretty sights, the first being under the guidance of Mr, S. Endicott Peabody. A feature of the second one was the Irish 32 Red Room and Other Chat jaunting car. The ladies wore green ; the gentlemen had green hatbands with flowing ends. It was all picturesquely Irish, except the brogue, which was marred by a French accent. The boundaries of our success can only be mea- sured by what we have done. We have won a Na- tional Polo Association Championship, which awak- ened our Club pride. We have maintained the manly sport of hunting for fourteen years. We were forced to run drags because a large part of our country is covered with swamps. To-day the conditions of the open coun- try are much changed by the use of the modern curse, — wire. A tangled web is being woven which may call for a further solving of the problem of drags. Drags have been developed to such a point that rarely a really bad run is ever had, and they cer- tainly afford more fun to the hard riding " follower " than the pottering of early days. Some students of the "drags" claim they will yet be able to give them all the features of wild fox-hunting. We hope their efforts may prove successful. A past member of our Club, for many years Master of a hunt near New York, has tried every known artificial scent with vary- ing success. With Darwinian research he has evolved a science, and has proved a natural selection of scents adapted to the different atmospheric conditions.

The Judge, the village legal dignitary, once said I'oi.o PRIZE cvr Red Room and Other Chat 33 that hunting was one of the important industries of Hamilton. Though said in jest, his remark contains considerable truth, for the village has reaped some advantage, as will be shown. Speaking of hunting as an industry, many will be surprised to learn that according to Badminton there are altogether over three hundred packs of staghounds, foxhounds, harriers, and beagles in England, Ireland, and Scotland. A few years ago a Boston daily paper appeared with an article showing an investment in England alone of about twenty millions of dollars for these sports. Perhaps in this country an estimate of one million dollars for hunting and polo is not an ex- cessive amount. This includes the various Club pro- perties connected with the sports. Golf threatens to become a rival of the bicycle industry in the amount of capital invested. Every village and town feels the necessity of a golf-course in the pursuit of happiness. When country people become aware of these facts we may expect rival villages to compete for the set- tlement of Hunt Clubs in their midst. In the com- petition we are prepared to hear that the selectmen offer a house free of rent for the Master. As in the case of other industries, of course the Club property will be exempt from taxes for five years. Restric- tions on barbed wire might be made by the select- men. Negotiators for Hunt Club sites must not be deceived by popular sentiment against electric rail- 34 Red Room and Other Chat roads. This is sure to change, and is always likely to spoil any New England village when least ex- pected. We have run the gamut of Labor Day sports, be- ginning with races on the flat and steeple-chases, also "point to point" races, to amuse the farmers and their families. The Princemere christening was a very interesting race meeting, at which the turnouts were unusually smart, and on the whole was a pic- ture with a charm which the Shore has not since reproduced. Then followed in other years a series of Gymkhana Games. In 1896 the first Horse Show was held on the polo ground. Through this show the Club put themselves in touch with the farmers and villagers, who were highly entertained and turned out in force. There were about two hundred entries. The judges were busy all day long, and an interested crowd remained through the twilight until dark, determined to see the last jump taken. Ladies accus- tomed to riding straight to hounds competed for the prizes, and two of the fair captured blue ribbons. This was a matter of pride to all Myopians. Music on Sunday afternoons for the entertainment of the ladies was kept up for many years, by the favor of Master Seabury. An ambitious attempt to intro- duce full band concerts on Sundays was frowned down by the conservative element. Spirited dances at the Annex for members have been given. Christ- z o r. Red Room and Other Chat 35 mas trees and Christmas dinners to village children are still in vogue, and long may they prevail. All Myopians, besides enjoying sport, enjoy nature. To quote from what Carlyle called the " ghastly " science of political economy, nature never whispers anything about Taxes. Still it is admitted that Taxes are necessary to the social order. Myopians at Ham- ilton are very close to nature in this respect, as Taxes are very low ; and this is due indirectly to the Myo- pia Hunt Club. The farmers are very generous in allowing us to ride over their lands, and many of them have sporting tendencies. Doubtless they are pleased at lower tax rates and the increasing values of real estate. It is to be hoped that these factors have their influence in soothing their irritation when- ever an overlooked broken rail is not replaced by a sound one. Though it is claimed that parsimony is a funda- mental principle in nature, yet to the casual observer she is at times quite prodigal, and furnishes sufficient ground for those who are not close students of natu- ral laws to indulge in a little conservative sporting extravagance. Sport is considered by many to be a waste of money, and probably not a few of the devotees of Carlyle's " ghastly " science think the sums spent ought to be added to Capital. We diff^er from this view ; because some few in a community are benefited — they are consumers and 36 Red Room and Other Chat must buy ! Besides, it pleases the Myopian to see the nimble sixpence " get a move on," to use a race- track phrase. Myopians are all altruistic, and though their contributions to the general good are filtered through selfishness, they regard their sporting outgo from an altruistic standpoint. There is no living Myopian example of the high- est altruistic flights who prefers to peddle out his fortune little by little at a loss in order to look his fellow^ man in the face and call him " Brother " ! Born in thrifty New England, it is bred into the very bones of Myopians to transact affairs for Gain. They recognize no benevolence in trade ; and so ro- bust is their conviction that many generations must pass before their consciences become so sick that they will spend all that they have, even for Sport, to attain altruistic bliss. The Myopians of 1882, intent on their sport, had no idea that their presence would have any effect on the village of Hamilton, which has improved so much in general appearance as to call out the com- ment of people who knew it then ; and as to feeling they would be factors in influencing in any way such stupendous problems as Real Estate and Taxes, — it was farthest from their thoughts. The Village Im- provement Society goes on with the good work. The Press has exhausted its joke and satire, some- times amusing and sometimes rather bitter ; and it I'HK IIORSK SHOW. MR. DEVEN'S AT nil': MKfiAPIIOXE Red Room and Other Chat 37 now defends polo and other sports, and publishes in the society items the rather monotonous news about "breakfasts" with good grace. But it is hardly within the scope of this rough sketch to enumerate all our achievements. It is rather remarkable that after long wanderings so many Myopians should return to historic Essex County from which their ancestors went to seek their fortunes a century ago. In locating here they have undoubtedly increased their usefulness, and the community has been benefited. It is argued by stu- dents of the question that the settling of city peo- ple in our villages is of mutual advantage to both. Each can learn much of the other, as both at the start are apt to be misunderstood. Hamilton is an instance of the best results obtained by this blending. English country life is a relic of the feudal system ; but no such conditions exist in New England. Sim- plicity is most prominent at Hamilton. Though the leaps from city luxury to Hamiltonian simplicity are wide, all seem to land safely and to enjoy life even more on the " landing side." It may be asked if we are advancing in the path of the simplicity claimed for uncivilized tribes, who for " honesty, amiability, self-government, and freedom are examples to communities more advanced." We are unable to answer. But it is hoped that boys growing up here will prefer horses and ponies rather than the bow and 38 Red Room and Other Chat arrow or the javelin, instruments of sport, which always seem to accompany the simplicity of the un- civilized. The temperature of club life might be raised in winter. Why not give Jack Frost a more conspicu- ous niche in the temple of Sport ? High carnival might reign in his court, and our cup would be filled. It was once proposed to change our name " Myo- pia." If we had made the change, it would have been at the expense of a great deal of free advertis- ing. Unhappy is the man who knows not the sooth- ing influence of " Myopia cigars." With what pride we read the glaring announcement in the bar-room windows, "Choice Myopia Club Whiskey" — yet unknown to Myopians. Perhaps the superintendent has his suspicions as to the quality ! Shop windows in New York are filled with Myopia neckties, and yet no Boston haberdasher has yet complimented us with any such wares. Such is fame — near home ! But it may be said, " Why so many reminis- cences ? We asked for songs ! " Read your Badmin- ton and notice the reverential antiquarian spirit with which the writer speaks of groping into the dark ages of the Quorn, whose glory dates from 1753. We do not date back, to be sure, but why not make the most of our existence ? Besides, a history of the Myopia may be written in the future, and this vol- I THE LATE MR. L. M. SARGENT Red Room and Other Chat 39 ume may then be yellow-leaved, musty, and envel- oped in the glamour of age, and with all its vagaries may prove the very Genesis of the Myopia Hunt Club. Besides, the old squires will enjoy fighting their battles over again. If one pleasant recollection here revived suggests another, they have not been written in vain. We have had our shining lights, to whom the country listens when addressed. Others are known by their writings. Some have won an " Hon.," and more titles are in view. Some are pressing into the front ranks in their professions. The mainstay of the Club is the work-hard-and-play-hard business man. Some of the brightest stars are no longer vis- ible in the Myopian firmament, — " tho' lost to sight, to memory dear." We have groped along in a Myopic way ; we have added polo and golf to our sport, and though there is no increase of riders in the hunting field, and no increase of polo players, yet golf has added very much to the life of the Club and also to the grounds. The improved appearance of the Club grounds is also due to golf. They are no longer clad in russet brown of the earlier days, but wear their new man- tle of bright green. The landscape effect might be heightened by the addition of more picturesque shep- herds of the Watteau variety. We are fortunate in having an interesting golf course, which undoubtedly will be fast when " tuned up." 40 Red Room and Other Chat Though the Myopia Hunt Club is only a sapling, the prospects of becoming a tree were never brighter than now, for the reason that the interest in sport is increasing, and the leisure contingent is growing. To use the latest definition — "Leisure consists in the diligent and intelligent use of time." When lived up to on these lines, leisure ought to be con- sidered highly respectable, though the comment is sometimes harsh. Men of leisure cannot be drones. Those who had earned a competency used to take their ease ; though a rich retired soap-maker once applied to his successors for permission to assist at the soap-boiling on boiling days. This seems to be doing a sort of penance for idleness. But now we have golf, with its never-ceasing interest and adapted to all ages, which is the panacea of all ills of body and soul ; and the retired need not sigh for the "shop." New England is fast becoming the play-ground of this country for the leisure element. A sporting colony is their paradise, and we are likely to receive our share of their support. Everything within the limits of the Club purse is being expended to improve the sporting facilities. With such an able management as we have, who give up much valuable time for the benefit of mem- bers, the Myopia Hunt Club is sure to preserve its attractions, and — though perhaps it may be hard for old members to admit it — may have a future even more interesting than its past. MR. HENRY. (iOLF CHAMPION, 1895 APOLOGY IT IF the chorus is not hoarse (no pun intended), with profound apologies to the strictly hunting set of the Myopia Hunt Club, a few Yachting Songs are introduced. Doubtless many in the Club will be reminded of "jolly old yachting days," — the days of the Fortuna, Phantom, Mohican, Active, Maggie, Addie, North Star, — and the Bayadere, owned by " Squire " Merrill. The " Squire " was one of the first to mount his hunter in answer to the call of his country (Myopia) to repel the inva- sion of the enemy (Reynard). NOTE IF THE author, as you have doubtless discovered, — or will discover, — is not truly musical. No- thing is claimed except an intimacy with the key of C, which never ripened into a friendship, as the key of C was unmercifully pummeled to extract the airs. In fact the piano keys fairly trembled when approached, showing that even music has its brute side. If the airs are not what they should be, it is not the fault of the key of C or the piano, but a case of a " bad man on a good horse." In view of these facts, why not organize a " Soci- ety for the Prevention of* Banging Pianos " ? Why not have heavy fines for discords ? There would be no lack of voluntary lobbying at the State House to bring about a pressure for the passage of such laws. Because of this lack of musical knowledge, the writing of the music and arrangement of waltzes has been left to others. g E CONCLUSION BUT you are weary ? There will be no attempt at a graceful literary " finish," no conciliation or defiance of critics, though it may not be amiss for the author to express his regret that this work has not been committed to more competent hands. As " discretion is the truest valor " and always sportsmanlike, considering that the mount is " green," and the pastures heavy and " trappy," it may be pru- dent to " pull out." The author therefore decides not to " go through ; " and he parts company from those who have " followed " in this " run " with its vari- ety of country, leaving it to them to increase the glory of THE MYOPIA HUNT CLUB. IF Make "this subject for heroic song;" The author's trifles may not last long. Excel in sport, and " merry, merry be ;" Dance the " tipsy dance of jollity ; " Let chats of hunting, golf polo, race. Find the Dr. "Johnsons in their place ! THE GIRLS WHO RIDE 1[ N mettled hunter seated firm, In form and grace complete. The dullest heart will light and burn As we the fair Dianas greet. No picture is their peer. For Art must stand aside ; For them I shout my cheer, — Hurrah for the girls who ride 1 In salon they may smile Or look demure and sweet. But glances cannot so beguile As those that grace the " meet ; " Fresh air and riding are blended wine On hunters of easy stride ; Drink, drink, the vintage rich, divine ! Hurrah for the girls who ride ! With cheek aglow and flashing eye. Their faces with radiance lit, — The Girls who Ride 45 Brave knights for them would die. Of danger's cup would sip ; For the world loves pluck And courage in peril tried ; We love them and wish them luck ; — God bless the girls who ride ! Riding is a symphony Most soothing to the mind.
