_Hockey_ (Vol. i., p. 457.).--I have not observed that this has been yet
noticed: if such be the case, permit me to refer to a letter of the poet
Cowper, dated 5th Nov., 1785 (5th vol. _Works_, edit. by Southey, p.
174.) in which, alluding to that day, he says,

"The boys at Olney have likewise a very entertaining sport which
commences annually upon this day; they call it _hockey_, and it
consists in dashing each other with mud, and the windows also,
so that I am forced to rise now and then and to threaten them
with a horsewhip, to preserve our own."

_Praed's Poetical Works_ (Vol. ii., p. 190.).--Your Cambridge
correspondent, Mr. Cooper, will be glad to know that Praed's _poems_ are
published in a collected form; _Poetical Works of Winthrop Mackworth
Praed, now first collected by Rufus W. Griswold; New York_, 1844. This
collection contains some thirty-six pieces. The longest poems, "Lillian"
and "The Troubadour," each in two cantos, display passages of great
beauty and exquisite musical flow. Among the charades, five in number,
"Sir Harry, he charged at Agincourt", is not to be found.
