FAIR ISLAND.
1cens of Romance and Tragedy of
the Spanish Armada.

Fair island, twenty-five miles
south of all the other Shetlandsy
has had strange enough pageantry
passing over its rocky surface. For
not only was it the home. Of the
Picts, and then of the Morse, and
for the Morse the signal beacon to
give warning of the coming of the
hostile sail. Besides that, it sup
piled chapter in the romance of
the Spanish armada.
For here was wrecked the ship of
Don Gomez de Medina, and that
noble and his men were for time
most generously entertained by the
islanders. But time passed, the
Spaniards stayed, the meal and the
mutton diminished. Then the is
landers, wrapped in by the wild
storms, unable to get to any other
island and fearful of famine, hid
their food. The forced guests grew
weak, many died of starvation, and
some, it is said, were pushed over
the tall cliffs into the sea.
At last one Andrew Umphrey
took the Spaniards away in ship,
and since that day the name of
Umphrey has been powerful in the
Shetlands.
The Fair island people show plain
traces of Spanish blood, but they
resent the suspicion of it, saying
that the Spaniards were isolated
when on the island.
1t is hard to conceive how isola-
ton could well be possible on an
island two miles square. Besides,
the Fair island people do not deny
that the strange patterns and the
lichen dyeing of the stockings and
caps and shawls their women knit
were taught them by the Spaniards,
and indeed the same sort of handi-
craft is found to this day in country
places of Spain.
The Fair islanders were great
smugglers in the old days, and they
are still good bargainers. They are
very intelligent, seeming to know
instinctively how to read, and not
SO very long ago they would follow
the mail steamers in their light
canoe shaped boats, which none but
themselves can manage, begging for
newspapers and books.
One of their terrors is of infec-
tious disease. Another is of the dog
tax man, against whose coming they

Football at Carlisle.

Football has started on it's third
year at Carlisle, and the manage
ment expects it to be the best year
of the game that the school has yet
had, notwithstanding the fact that
the first game was lost to B. NJ. l., at
Greenwood. This game was played
without the team having had the
lightest sort of scrimmage with an
outside team. Denmark promised to
give us game, but failed to show
up at the last minute. There are no
high school teams near enough to
give us any practice games, making
it hard for the boys to go up against
more experienced teams.
The material we have-and it is
the best we have ever had-is being
rounded into one of the fastest teams
in this section of the State.
Capt. Lenoir, our veteran end and
quarter, has no superior at either po-
sition in any prep" school in the
State. He is small but fast, and
knows the game from start to finish.
