Sport on the Thames In London's
early days was more exciting than
boat racing. In the twelfth century,
for instance, the young "bloods' en-
joyed a kind Of tilt the bucket" pas
time and delighted the spectators.
Thus william Fitz- Stephens, clerk to
Thomas q Beckett, on the rules Of the
game: "In the Easter holidays they
play at a game resembling a naval
engagement. A target Is fixed to a
tree trunk. which is fixed in the middle
of the river, and in the Prov of a boat
driven along by oars a young man
who is in it strikes the target with
his lance. If in hitting it he breaks
his lance and keeps his position un-
moved he gains his point and attains
his desire. but if his lance be not
shriven he is tumbled into the river
1t is comforting to learn. however,
that the rules then allowed his friends
to pick him up.-LondOn Spectator.

the young men were handed stamped
package, and this in turn was given to
the young lady selected by the gen.

ton of Mrs. Agnes Laning.
