Brown 100; Burnside 75, Chappell 100; Blackwood 44, Winthrop 100; Burns 77, Tiilyehort 100. _ Aitor the game the winners entertained the visitors at supper. Market Bosworth, where the battle of Bosworth was fought in 1485, has "been purchased by a Leicester syndicate. Many' interesting traditions tions are connected with the district.

There is also a Sinai team —I regret to say at the bottom of the list. In towns with quite famous Biblical names yon can hear now shouts of "Well played I" and "Off-side!" I wonder what the Jebnsites and the Perezzites, the Hivites and the Hittites, and the Amorites would think of it all, if they could hear it.
