Origin OF Fencing.

Although the Germans were always
redoubtable at the rougher games of
swordsmanship, it is in Italy that we
find the first development of that MIN
bier, more regulated, more cunning,
better controlled play which we have
learned to associate with the term
fencing, says the Cornhill Magazine.
1t Is from Italy that fencing as a
refined art first spread over Europe;
not from Spain, as 1t has been asserted
by many writers.
1t Is in the Italian rapier play of the
late sixteenth century that we find the
foundations of fencing in the modern
sense of the word. The Italians-if we
take their early books as evidence, and
the fact that their phraseology Of fence
was adopted by all Europe-were the
first to perceive (as soon as the prob
lem of armor breaking ceased to be the
most important one in a fight the su-
perior capabilities for elegant slaugh-
ter possessed by the point as compared
with the edge. They accordingly re-
duced the breadth of their sword, mod
fled the hilt portion thereof to admit
of a reader thrust action, and rele-
gated the cut to quite secondary po-
sition in their system. With this light,
er weapon they devised in course of
time that brilliant, cunning, cat-like
play known as rapier fence.
The rapier was ultimately adopted
everywhere by men Of courtly habit,
but in England, at least, 1t was not
accepted without murmur and vitupe.
ration from the older fighting class of
swordsmen.
