He was also a veritable dodger when he got up to the opposing half-backs, and the partisans of the clubs who played Renton in 1888 used to hold their breath when they saw Campbell in front. Unknown to fame as a regular player in the Renton eleven until the season when this event took place, or it may be the preceding one, Mr. Harvey was one of the victorious forwards.
There was a good deal done, and a great burden lifted off an humble heart nay, two! before Dr. Renton thought of going home. There was a patient gained, likely to do Dr. Renton more good than any patient he had lost. There was a kettle singing on the stove, and blowing off a happier steam than any engine ever blew on that railroad whose unmarketable stock had singed Dr. Renton's fingers.
Barbour was the best man on the Renton side, and kept his feet on the slippery ground in a manner that completely astonished all who saw the contest. He was sometimes fairly puzzled by the clever heading of Mr. Campbell and the terrible tackling of Mr. Arnott, but fought gamely to the last. In close dribbling he was the nearest approach to Mr. He played against Ireland in 1885. ~J. Kelly.~
Great as are the difficulties of keeping up a continuous flame, they have been almost overcome by an arrangement introduced by Mr Renton, which preserves the cylinder of lime from cracking. Gas has lately been introduced in the lighthouse at Hartlepool.
The man stared at him from a wild head of tumbled red hair, with a half-smile round his loose open mouth, and said, "Begorra!" This was a second-floor tenant. Dr. Renton was relieved at the sight of him; but he rather failed in an attempt at his rent-day suavity of manner, when he said, "Good evening, Mr. Flanagan. Do you think I can see Mrs. Miller to-night?" "She's up there, docther, anyway."
In this event he was at his very best. Once or twice he started well with the ball at his toe, and made tracks for the Renton goal, but was badly supported in the following up, and often got collared by the opposing half-backs. He possessed great speed, like most of the other Cambuslang forwards, and scored a lot of the goals for his club that season in their best matches.
He played against Ireland in 1888. ~R. Kelso.~ Mr. Kelso was a tower of strength to the Renton team at half-back, and did his duty in this contest. Rather a shade rough on an opponent at times, Mr.
The Renton Eleven are to-day in the proud position of winning the Glasgow Charity Cup four times in succession from 1886 down to season 1888-89, and even now the holders of that handsome trophy. In 1888 the Renton men held both cups, and what was of more account, won them by long odds against precisely the same opponents, viz., Cambuslang.
At the same time he observed: "I conclude that I shall be able to learn at the Admiralty what place it was the Laurel and her consorts attacked." I spent a couple of weeks with my new friends before they found a school to which I could be sent. Captain Renton, accompanied by Dick, came out to see me.
"I only do what Captain Renton did, sir," he answered, quietly; "and if I neglect my duty, I do not ask to be treated with more favour than others." "Just take care what you are about then," answered the captain; "my eye will be upon you." Dick touched his hat respectfully, and without saying anything went forward. I was soon afterwards called up.
