Excerpt: ... we must consider the outdoor arrangements a model of the consummate generalship of our worthy hostess to clip the "Flyer's" wings. On Thursday morning the match began between the Squadron and the Melbourne Club, of which we give the extract of the Melbourne paper. "THE SQUADRON V. THE M.C.C. "This match, between the officers of the squadron "and a team of our best amateur cricketers, proved a "very brilliant affair. There was a large gathering of "the public on the ground, at one time not less than "3,000, and the marquee on the enclosure was well "filled with ladies, whose presence and beauty gave "additional picturesqueness to the handsome ground "the whole day. His Excellency the Governor, with "Lady Manners Sutton and family, arrived about three "o'clock in the afternoon, and stayed several hours "on the ground. Admiral Hornby, with Captain "Hopkins, of the 'Liverpool, ' and Captain Gibson, "of the 'Liffey, ' were present during nearly the "whole of the match, in which they, as well as all "the naval officers on the ground, appeared to take "considerable interest. The excellent band of the " Liffey' discoursed sweet and gentle music, which "was extremely pleasant to the ear, and a remark "able contrast to the brass bands often stationed "on the ground, whose clamour so near to the "pavilion is occasionally so loud as to compel spec"tators to wish them a little further away. The "M.C.C. captain (Mr. Handfield) waived the right "to play professionals--an act of grace on their part, "but certainly not more than the strongest club in "the Southern Hemisphere ought to have done to a "team of sailors, who could not, under the circum"stances, be otherwise than out of practice. Lieute"nant Wright, captain of the officers, sent in...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book by a leading authority on Anglo-Japanese relations reconsiders the circumstances which led to the unlikely alliance of 1902 to 1922 between Britain, the leading world power of the day and Japan, an Asian, non-European nation which had only recently emerged from self-imposed isolation. Based on extensive original research the book goes beyond existing accounts which concentrate on high politics, strategy and simple assertions about the two countries’ similarities as island empires. It brings into the picture cultural factors, particularly the ways in which Japan was portrayed in Britain, and ambivalent British attitudes to race and supposed European superiority which were overcome but remained difficulties. It charts how the relationship developed as events unfolded, including Japan’s wars against China and Russia, and in addition looks at royal diplomacy, where the Japanese Court came eventually to be treated as a respected equal. Overall, the book provides a major reassessment of this important subject.
