Don't ask me what we did today,- I'm writing this on the 11th. I've been so busy killing time lately that I haven't had a minute for anything else.

Its up to Naishski to shout the bubbly water. The full returns of the Olympic games are now in, and we get thirteen out of the eighteen, not counting the quarter, in which the judges put their hands in our pockets and stole from us. Well, we can afford to give 'em that race,- it's about the only thing they did win. New worlds records in the 800 metre, high hurdles and discus, new British records in the pole vault, hammer and half mile, and about ten Olympic records, all by the little bunch from the USA. We skun'em on their native heath and did it brown, too.
