Tr may have been noticed that South American enthusiasm for the British Princes was reported to find outlet in what is described as "the English Hooray." 'Has it ever deen. decided satisfactorily what is the true English form of thie express sion of enthusiasm?—Apparently the older form was neither "Hurrah" nor "Hurray," but "Huzza.": "That was the form' which was used by Macaulay as, for instance, in the account of the Battle of La Hague and of the "cutting out" of the French ships after the battle "The rowers, flushed by success, and animated by the thought that, they were going to fight under the: Jeyes of the French and Irish troops who had been assembled for the purpose of subjugating England, pulled manfully and with loud huzzas...." Perhaps it ought 19 be said that these days "hurrah" is the more dignified form, as it was century ago. In the' Eatanswill election the mob shouted "Hurrah!" for a person as important as the candidate, while the vulgar "Hoo-ror!" sufficed for anything so low as an editor even of the "Gazette." On the other hand, "Hooray" seems essential in some important—coa-mote natural to shout p, hootay!" than to use any other form.
