Knightage is not great deal to oul
American notion, and as a matter OF
fact has fallen very low in England
Singularly enough the English name OF
this degree is almost the only one
which does not imply it's equestrian
nature. In France knight is styled
''chevalier,' from ''cheval," horse, as
in German ritter" or rider. A knight
in a game of chess is a horses head
In its earlier days knighthood pertain
ed only to men Of arms. Sir William

the honor, actually obtained it for per
