Veteran Knights After the Honors.-
Fourteen veterans of the lance and ring met on
the field of honor in spirited contest for the
privilege of naming the queen or love ana
beauty and her maids on the green at the Con-
federate Soldiers Home, Pikesville, last Satur-
day afternoon.
The contest was:sunique inasmuch as the
riders were all men who had not participated
in events of that character for at least ten years.
and were. therefore, in the Language OF tne
Younger and more prominent tourney riders
of the day, "has. beens." But they demon
strated that even though a man may add on
years and increase the size of his girth, he may
yet retain the cunning of his head and know
ledge of the tricks and rules OF the sport OF
chivalry
Mr.. William B. Cockey, knight of Garrison,
was the victor in the riding of the tie with Mr.
G. Lyon Rogers Jr.. knight of Forest View,
and Mr.. Thomas Cradock Knight of Trentham,
though he twice had to ride against Mr.. Rogers,
and be crowned his wife as the queen. M.
Rogers, equally gallant, crowned his wire
maid of honor, while Mr.. Thomas Cradock
crowned Mics Lima Keighler second maid, and
Mr.. Arthur Cradock crowned Miss Isabelle
Waters. third maid.
The others who contested were DIR. William
E. Pearce, DR.. Charles g. Hill, DR.. +. e. Jones
and Messrs. Upton s. Brady, A. P. Shanklin,
Hugh p. Price James L. Rogers, Lemuel D.
Offutt, Thomas B. Cockey and Thomas G.
Stevenson "a
Those who had charge of the tournament
and who helped to make it success were:
Chief marshal, Mr.. George 81. Elder: assistant.
Mr.. George Nicholas; heralds, Masters g. II.
Elder, Jr and q. Lyon Rogers, third judges,
Judge N. Charles Burke and Chief of Police
Street,; orators, Messrs. Robert Biggs and A.
s. Goldsborough.
Perhaps the oldest veteran in the contest was
having ridden in the first tourney held in this
State. many years ago, and he proved that he
is yet no mean competitor, for he made score
of two, three and three.
Messrs. Cockey, Rogers and Cradock have
long held high honors in Journeys in Mary
land and other states in the South. Wherever
they have contested their names appeared
among the winners, especially Messrs. Cockey
and Rogers. 1t was recalled that they met at
Timonium about fifteen years ago for the
championship of the State and silver pitcher
offered by Gen. Felix Agnus, and that the
contest was SO close that they rode off no less
than six ties at halfinch rings before Mr..
Cockey missed ring, and bis rival, riding up
to the judges stand received his trophy upon
his lance.
