Written by the Hon. Patrick Balfour
This evening listeners are to hear what the visitor from Mars thinks of sports on our islands. He sees junketings in our gaiety on Derby Day, and our Cup-Tie carnival reminds him of rejoicings at some Eastern feast.
He found us otherwise sad; our food simple, but not good. One of his most interesting observations is his surprise as a Martian at our feeding in public. To him it is obscene. Maybe, he heard some strange islander eating his soup. Patrick Balfour is author of that clever satire 'Social Racket'.
