A few years ago some fine suits of armor which had done service at West minister Hall were disposed of, and real ized high prices, but the hall still con- tains an interesting arnory of antique arms. Needless to say the most treas- ured possession of the present owner of the Scrivelsby estates is the collection of gold coronation cups. There ought to be twenty-one cups, but there now remain only seven, namely, those ob- tained at the coronation of James H., William and Mary, Anne and the four Georges.-Pall Mall Gazette.

 l Robert Service Steen, 1901 of Phila-
 delphia, closed the opening debate fol l Princeton as follows;
 "The reason our foreign trade last year did not show so great as it ought | to is that all our trade with Cuba, Por- to Rico and the Philippines has been subtracted from the lost and classed with domestic trade. We have shown the system of subsidies to be dangerous, and we are apt to overlook the conse- quences of it. Take, for instance our disastrous experiment. with the Collins line. No less an authority that the hon. ored president of this university has said that a better example Of the de- moralizing influence of government aid could not be given. It was subsidized, it's officials became corrupted and the line went to pieces of it's own accord.
 Let me repeat, that our great super iorlty in the cheap production of steel gives us an advantage over other countries in shipbuilding. If as the af- firmative holds. we need an immediate Increase in our merchant marine sub sides cannot increase 1t. Our ship yards are already over-crowded and have orders far in advance and cannot be crowded further. Our navigation laws ought to be repealed, so as to all low the eighty-eight ships now owned by Americans and flying a foreign flag to fly the American flag. This act would increase our merchant marine as the subsidy system cannot do"
 The rebuttals, which were five min utes long, were made by the negative, in the following order: Byles, Hope and Steen; by the affirmative, Sincerbeax, Trowbridge and Ewell.
 The alternates on the debate were: For Yale, Abraham Tuten 1903, of Hart ford, Conn.,; for Princeton. F. w. Fort 1901, of East Orange, N. J.; R. F, Pit cairn 1901, of Pittsburg, Pa; J. G. Sims, Jr, 1902, of Wartrace, Tenn. and A. s. Weston '99, of Mount Vernan, Me.

 Ex-Governor Bulkeley said that he did not care to make any extended re- marks until to-day. He thought that one test of the present constitution was whether or not it had worked any in- 1 jury during it's existence. He thought 1 that it had not worked any injustice and that Connecticut under 1t was to- day well governed state He opposed any amendment changing representa- tion.
 Ex-Governor Waller said that he was in favor of amendment of the consti- tution first an amendment which would provide that the candidate for governor receiving the highest number of votes would be elected and second such an amendment as would give a just and fair system of representation He con- graduated Chairman Fyler and the re- publican state committee on the stand which they had taken on the matter 1 When ex-Governor Waller finished speaking ex-Governor Bulkeley said that he had understood that the repub- IGdH state cDIIlUllll6e WdS 1OI III ldNOT of changing the system of representa- ton. He said that he had understood that at meeting of the committee held some time ago the committee de- cided to favor amendment but that at later meeting of the committee after the members had consulted with their constituents, they had rescinded the ac- tion taken at the earlier meeting.
 Mir Fyler said in reply to this that the committee had decided to favor amendment concerning representation and that this action had not been re- ecinded., He said that was personally in favor of amendment to secure a farer system of representation and that he believed that if the republican party did not now so amend the con- stitution ii would soon lose the oppor- tunity to do so.
 A. McC. Matthewson, of New Haven, made strong appeal for an amendment to secure fair representation in the House of Representative and cited in- stances to show that there was unfair ness in the present system.

THE KINGS CHAMPION.
An Ancient Office Long Held in On
 Family.

An Ancient Office Long Held in One
 Family.
 The proclama ton of a new sovereign calls to mind the fact that there exists an individual who can now sign himself "The Honorable, the Kings Champion" | The present holder of this ancient office is Francis Seaman Dymoke, Esq. of Scrivelsby Manor Lincolnshire. who, according to tradition, should at once 1 lodge his title before the court of claims in order that he may officiate as cham pion of England at the coronation of King Edward VII. In bygone days the appearance of the champion riding into Westminster Hall, throwing down his gauntlet and challenging to mortal combat any one who should gainsay the sovereign's title to the throne was the most striking ceremonial at the coro- nation banquet. At the last two coro- nations, however, this ceremony was omitted and the prospects of it ever again being revived are problematical.
 From time immemorial a Dymoke has been the kings or queens champion, as the case may be- but it is wrong to suppose in consequence that the office Is an hereditary one vested in this an- cient family; for apart from Scrivelsby no one is entitled to be called champion to the reigning sovereign, iu a word, the ownership of the manor and dis tinctive title are inseparable. The office is of Norman origin The Marmions, a powerful Norman family, enjoyed the peculiar privilege of acting as champi- ! ons to the dukes of Normandy, and they held their lands on feudal tenure, sub ject to the performance of this particu- ! lar service. When William the Con- queror came over he brought with him | Sir Robert Marmion, his champion, to | whom was eventually assigned the manor of Scrivelsby under the same | tenure. There is, however no well au- thenticated account of a champion talk ing part in a coronation before the time
