TO-DAY IN HISTORY.
The Battle of CreSsy-Aueust 26.

1t was on August 26, 1886. that Edward

great victory over the French at Greasy.

chivalry, and the King OF Bohemia. fight
ing for France, were slain in the battle.
Here it was that the Black Prince gained
his spurs, and that he adopted the triple
feather crest OF the fallen Bohemian
King. with the motto "Ich Dien.' still
worn by the British Prince Of Wales.
This battle was one Of the earliest in
which cannon were used by the English.
Late in the year 1899 a formal declara-
ton Of hostilities was made and the long
war-the Hundred Years War. as it has
been called-of English kings for the SOW
