Olympic Heroes and the Greek Spirit of Baseball
The piece praises Olympic hammer throwers John Flanagan and Matt McGrath with record feats in London and Dublin, then likens baseball to ancient Greek games. It notes baseball’s growing influence on American culture and economy, and quotes a poetically muddled sports verse about a New York Americans vs St. Louis game, ending with enthusiastic, creative prose about the sport.

The British Sovereign and Lords Justices Practice
The text explains ancient British law requiring both houses' consent before the monarch can leave the kingdom. It notes the shift from an officer called the Justiciar to lords justices under the great seal, with no commissions since 1821. In 1845 Queen Victoria’s planned trip to Germany sparked a debate. Lord Campbell urged lords justices, but Lord Lyndhurst argued modern communication made it unnecessary, a precedent since.
