CHIVALRY IN GAMES.

I Tho Hon. Alfred Lyttolton, oho j former Colonial Secretary, extolled | the value of frames at the speech-day ! at Dulwich College. _ 1 There was much, lie said, to be 1 learned from matches—much discipline and command of temper. Temper was oft on tried in modem ! davs and the lessons that could bo I Jeanied from Splaying games well, ' guod-tomperedly, and generously, I were of great value through life ! There were two matches this year he had pleasure in contemplatW The first was tho Eton and I Harrow. He was deligted to see ; that both schools placed the match ? with a determination to fims it, and I that Eton went out on tho second I day when manv moHern cricketers would have objected because of the '■ light being bad, in order not to de- • privc Hariow of a well-doserved ■ wiu. " . . * Another event which gave nun I great national pride was the match ' for the tennis championship. Mr i Mills, though nearly twice the age H of Mr Gould, several times gave the 1 courtesy of considerable delay in the ! -wne in order that bis younger op- - pWnt might have his arm rubbed, 1 -which was" slightly strained. It was ' .done in a spirit of generosity and ; courtesy, aud that was tho spirit m . -which all games ought to be played.
