Josselyn tells that the inhuman sport of wolf-baiting was popular in New England, and he describes it thus: "A great mastiff held the Wolf.... Tying him to a stake we bated him with smaller doggs and had excellent sport, but his hinder legg being broken we soon knocked his brains out." Wolves also were dragged alive at a horse's tail, a sport equally cruel to both animals.
The following were the officers appointed to them: "Enterprise." Captain, R. Collinson; Lieutenants, G.A. Phayre, J.J. Barnard, and C.T. Jago; master, R.T.G. Legg; second master, Francis Skead; mate, M.T. Parks; surgeon, Robert Anderson; assistant surgeon, Edward Adams; clerk in charge, Edward Whitehead. Total complement, sixty-six. "Investigator."
It is amazing to think that Legg, so often shown up, and known everywhere, is flourishing yet. He would sink into utter ruin, but for the constant and ardent love of gentility that distinguishes the English Snob.
What do you mean, Legg? Me leave 'The Seven Stars' after thirty-four years?" "No doubt your first would turn in his grave if you did," he admitted; "but what about it? When you're mistress of 'The Tiger' well, then you're mistress of 'The Tiger, and you can't be in two places at once clever as you are." He had given her something to think about.

"If you beat us, Ray, it will be entirely owing to the fact that you played cricket and football in the public eye for twenty years," he asserted and believed. The Liberal Committee room was at 'The Seven Stars, for Mr. Legg supported the cause of democracy and pinned his highest hopes thereto.
Coventry and I alone sat till two o'clock, and then he inviting himself to my house to dinner, of which I was proud; but my dinner being a legg of mutton and two capons, they were not done enough, which did vex me; but we made shift to please him, I think; but I was, when he was gone, very angry with my wife and people.

He was never tired of praising Legg, Replogle, Summers, and the other business men whom he brought to Washington, praising himself, of course, for his skill in choosing them he never achieves self-forgetfulness but giving them full credit for the work of the War Industries Board. And he inspired an extraordinary loyalty among his associates, big and little.

And yet I'll say this: I believe it was put to him by Providence to offer for you, so that you might be lifted to higher things." "Speak English, my dear man. I don't exactly know what you're talking about.
Job Legg understands the ways of 'em, and you see the result. You can pick all day from my herbaceous border and not miss what you take." "Nobody grows sweet peas like yours." "Job again. He's mastered the sweet pea in a manner given to few. He'll bring out four on a stalk, and think nothing of it." "Mister Best, our foreman, is wonderful in a garden, too," answered Sarah.
