Each time he took his runs afresh, like a kicking stick in a race, and waited for the children to catch up.
He played against Wales in 1888. ~J. Coleman.~ Among the forward division of the Celtic, Mr. Coleman was a decided acquisition, and during that same season scored a lot of goals for the new Irish combination, which came to the front with something like the rapidity of "Jonah's gourd."
More often, in modern and probably also in ancient usage, a roll of paper-bread or piki served the same purpose, being dipped into the stew and then eaten with the fingers.
