After some engagements in Baroda the Prince will go into the country and have some black-buck shooting, He will then proceed to Udaipur, whose venerable Maharaja is considered the leading ruler in Rajputana, on account both of his legendary descent from the semi-divine Rama and the great traditions of chivalry associated with the ruling house. =~ Through all the generations of Mogul domination it was the only ruling Rajput family which gave no daughter in to any member of the Mohammedan Imperial dynasty. The Prince will spend a couple of days in the valleys not far from the palace of the Maharaja, shooting leo- pards and possibly some other big game.

University boys always play to win," sald a more or less pro- fessional "sportsman" apropos of the rugby games played at the University of Toronto stadium. This man has an insight into the spirit which is pro- duced by university athletics. Uni- versity boys play hard, are glad to win, are good losers, if they lose, and they do mot resort to "shady" tricks. They are trained to'be above that sort of thing. Not the winning of the game, primarily, but good, clean sport is their objective. And what a valu- able asset that spirit is to an indi- vidual! The people of Ontario are proud of their provincial university, of its excellent teaching, of its suc- i cess in research, of its Widespread extension . service, and they 'do not forget that, at that university, young men and women are being trained to | be citizens of the highest order, un- suspicious and above suspicion, honest and upright, and that the in sports and general athletics is help- ing to produce that type of citizen. re semen RISE IN QUOTATION OF POUND STERLING Due to Improyement in Great Bri Foreign Trade €. 4 ' A despatch from New York saysi-- British exchange, as reported by the i pound sterling, rose to a fraction over sels at all times, keeping the squirm- 'erg alive.
