FOOTBALL.--On Saturday an interesting game
was played in the " Timbrels," at Eton College, between
the Etonians and an eleven brought into the field by Mr. B.
Hall, formerly captain of the boats. Play was commenced
at half-past 12 o'clock, Mr. Hall's 11 for the first half hour
having the best of the game, and making a rouge within
ten minutes of the onset. After the change the Etonians
kept the ball well in the vicinity of their adversaries' goal,
snaking no less than three "shaves." Mr. Hall's 11 then
made a great effect, and the ball was kicked near the
Eton " goal," only to bo turned and eventually driven
by the Etonians through that in the possession of 31v*
Hall's 11, the winning ball being kicked by Mr. Carr-
Lloyd. Eton thus won by a " goal" to a rouge made 11
their opponents, the game concluding at half-past 1 o'clock*
The following were the players :—E ton College. - E. slur*
gins, corner; W. C. Calvert, flying man; T. M'Clintock•
Bunbui y, short behind ; M. H. Romer, C. It. Warburton,

TOWERING PARTRIDGES. —Seeing the numerel
articles in Land and Water on partridges towering,
wrote to a friend of mine in Ireland and asked him to ob-
serve-closely any birds which he saw tower. I copy
,t,17
following from his answer received a few days ago d
have shot 333 head of game since the 20th August, an,
only two birds out of that number have towered, one ;
snipe, and the other a partridge. I had carefully noticed
the partridge when it came to the ground ; the eyes !I',
head wore covered with blood, but not a feather of tm
body seemed ruffled by the shot, or a shot-mark VW'
when the bird was plucked ; so that it must be loss
~
sight or a wound in the brain that causes the bird t;
tower." Might not the rush of blood over the eyes (fr°,.,
a wound in the head) blind the bird, which immediately
causes it to fly upward to avoid coming into collisios;
with any object which otherwise it might have done h d
it continued its flight close to the ground?—V.-----tail
