l QUEEN PLAYED SKITTLES soerREIGNS AND THEIR FAV- ‘ ORITE GAMES: _._â€". .King Edward is Fond of Tennisâ€"- James I. Preferred Quoits. The news that King Edward has become an assiduous player of bowls "reminds us that one of his Royal predecessors, Charles II., was an en- thusiastic lover of the game. In ibis brightest and darkest hours alike the fascination of bowls never failed to appeal to him. Even when he was a prisoner at Caversham, no sooner did he learn [that there was a bowlingâ€"green at- tached to an inn not far away than he had his horse sad-died and rode oil“, to forget. his troubles in a game. The inn, which is at a vilâ€"a Iage called Collins End in a remote corner of the Oxfordshire hills, has for its sign a portrait of Charles. Wherever he chanced to be, Charles Was always sure to find his way to the nearest green and it was while he actually had a bowl in his hands {that Cornet Joyce came one June day to remove him from his prison in Holmby House. . Tennis has always been a favorite pastime of King Edward since his ays at Oxiorfld and Cambridge, and In more mature years he has Spent hundreds of happy hours at the modâ€" ern variant of the old game on the lawns of Sandringham and Marlbor- ough House. THE SECOND CHARLES "Was an expert and keen tennisâ€"player. WVI’ulking along Whitehall,” the old gossip Pepys wrote in 1663, “I heard the King was gone to play at tennis. So I drove down to Ulie new tennis- court, and saw him and Sir Arthur Slingsby play against my Lord of Suffolk‘ and my Lord Chesterfield. The King beat three and lost two sets.” Henry VIII. was just as en-thusiasf tie a wielder of the racquet as Charles, but he could scarcely have (been very skilful, for we learn that .certain “craftie persons about him [brought in Frenchmen and Lomâ€" ybards to make wagers with him, and so he lost much money; but (sensiâ€" ble man) when he perceived their craft he eschewed the company and let them go." Some years later we find him playing the game in more worthy company, for he had as part- ner the Emperor Maximilian, and for opponents the Prince of Orange and the Marquis of Brandenburg. Henry must have inherited his en- thusiasm for tennis from his father, whose love of the game and of "such play and light follies" generâ€" ally caused the Dauphin of France, when that country was meditating, .War against us, to “send him a. TON OP TENNIS-BALLS to play with, as he had better Skill of tennis than of war.” 4 James I. preferred quoits to both .bowls and tennis, and he was never happier than when playing the game [with one or other of his courtiers. Once, the story goes, when he was playing with the Earl of Mar he found his opponent playing unfairly, land exclaimed, “Jennie Mar has {slaited me”; and from that 'day the [nickname “J onnie Slaiter.” stuck to lthe Scottish Earl.. Even the humble skittles has basked in the sunshine of Royal favor, for we learn that Elizabeth, Edward IV.’s Queen, conâ€" stantly played it with her ladies. Archery was a pastime beloved of many kings and queens of old. Mary Queen of Scots was noted for her skill with the bow, and a. story has been told against her that shorth after Darnley’s murder she was shooting at the Tranent butts with {Bothwell for partner. Henry VIII. ,was an “archer bold,” and among other Royal experts with bow and hrrow were Edward VI. and Charles I.

Fight With a Tibetan Fanatic. A recent despatch from Tibet re- ports that two officers of the Indian Medical Service, Captain C. Young and Captain Kelly, were standing near the outskirts of the camp close to two centries when suddenly a lama who had a sword hidden be- neath his robes, rushed from a place of concealment and, before the offi- cers could defend themselves, struck Captain Young on the back of the head, knocking him down. ' He then attacked Captain Kelly, who threw his hat into the fanatic’s face, and, after seizing the sentry’s rifle, bayoncted the madman in the arm and face.

The officer attacked the lame. with ‘5 the empty scabbard which the lat- ter had thrown away. This wea- pon, however, proved to be useless, and Captain Young, being unable to defend himself, sustained another wound, six inches long, in the head. The madman now rushed at the sen- try, who endeavored to force his bayonet into his body. This he failed to do, and the lami‘; snatching the rifle from him, rushed into the main lunette of the camp brandish- ing his sword in one hand and the rifle. in the other. He had not gone far when he met a. fatigue party of pioneers, armed with picks and shovels, and the scene which follow- ed baffles description. Officers and men rushed to the scene from all directions. The fana- tic was -- knocked down again and again and deprived of his arms, but again and again he shook himself free, fighting with teeth, hands and feet. At last, 'hOWever, he was over- powered and securely bound hand and foot. On examination the man proved to be of Herculean proportions, with the chest and arms of a professional prizeâ€"fighter, while underneath his robes he was found to be wearing a closely woven short of mail. It was this that saved him from being killed by the blows rained upon him. The wounds on the head and arms were found to be superficial. The man was condemned to death and executed shortly after. __._..._+ IN AFTER YEARS .
