-Whites, to say nothing of numerous gains to
Scotland in matches with England and Wales.

Since this meeting of Bob and Frank, however, the said Black-and-Whites
have got pretty far forward with a new ground quite close to Hampden
Park, and it is now being levelled up and put into condition. The
railway embankment referred to is part of the Cathcart Railway, which
will assist very considerably in opening up rapid communication between
Glasgow and the whole of the suburban burghs lying south.

While referring to the Southern Suburbs, which, it may be mentioned, are
closely associated with the rise and progress of Association Football,
I cannot refrain from alluding to several genial souls who have helped
to make them what they are. None, however, is entitled to claim more
consideration and credit than Provost Goodfellow, of Suburbopolis, whose
official life, so to speak, has been spent in the cause of suburban
organisation, accompanied, of course, with a due regard for Association
Football.

You must know, my brave Scotch readers, and those hailing from South of
the Tweed, that the Provost of a Scotch burgh or town occupies the exact
position of the English Mayor. He is the head of the municipality, and
is, in fact, a kind of ruler of all he surveys, but about his "right to
dispute," particularly when the November election comes on, why that is
purely a matter of opinion.

Well, the ruler of Suburbopolis was not a despotic man. He was certainly
a little pedantic, and who, I should like to know, would not be inclined
to lean that way if they had taken part in a great annexation fight with
the chiefs of the big bouncing city of Glasgow, and beaten them too?

Some years ago, it may be briefly explained, the Glasgow authorities
devised a scheme, whereby all the suburban burghs were to be taken under
the wing of Glasgow and lose their entire independence, and
Suburbopolis, being close on the touch-line, was to be attacked first.
Glasgow, in fact, was to act as the veritable annaconda, and swallow it
up, but she didn't.

 Since this meeting of Bob and Frank, however, the suppose Black - and - Whites 
 have get pretty far forward with a new reason quite close to Hampden 
 Park, and it is now being charge up and arrange into condition. The 
 railroad track embankment refer to is part of the Cathcart Railway, which 
 will serve very considerably in opening up rapid communication between 
 Glasgow and the whole of the suburban burgh lying south. 

 While referring to the Southern Suburbs, which, it may be mentioned, are 
 closely associated with the rise and progress of Association Football, 
 I cannot abstain from alluding to several genial person who have helped

 consideration and recognition than Provost Goodfellow, of Suburbopolis, whose 
 official life, so to speak, has been spent in the cause of suburban 
 constitution, accompanied, of course, with a due regard for Association 
 Football.

 Well, the ruler of Suburbopolis was not a despotic man. He was surely 
 a little academic, and who, I should like to know, would not be inclined 
 to tend that way if they had taken part in a great annexation fight with 
 the chiefs of the big bouncing city of Glasgow, and beaten them too? 

 Some years ago, it may be concisely explained, the Glasgow authority 
 devise a scheme, whereby all the suburban burghs were to be taken under 
 the wing of Glasgow and miss their entire independence, and
