With Colonel Hickman's Flying Column : A Race for a Springbok. 1900.

For Sale is a Full Page removed from "The Graphic, September 22nd, 1900," showing a Drawing by John Charlton, from a Sketch by H. Collinson Morley, called "With Colonel Hickman's Flying Column :  A Race for a Springbok."

A Correspondent writes :- "Anything in the shape of excitement to break the monotony of a day's march over the desolate veldt is welcome.  Twice we sighted small herds of springbok going very fast.  One lot ran foul of a barbed wire fence, leaving one of its number hung up by its hind leg.  Immediately from the length of the column fellows galloped out, orderlies, officers, batmen, and in one or two cases men broke ranks from the Colonial companies, unable to resist such an attractive bit of sport.  The bok saw them coming and made frantic efforts to escape.  It succeeded in getting away when the soldiers were within forty yards of it."

Condition is Very Good.
