IX J ^^^^f ^ qUEEN PLAYED SKITTLES SOVEa.EIONS AND THEIR FAV- ORITE GAMES. â- King Edward is Fond of Tennisâ€" James I. Preferred Quoits. The news that King Bflwnrd has bocoiau an nssiduous plu.vor of bowls reiiiinds us that one of his lloyal l>reclcc«38Sor.s , (.'harles fl., wan an en- thusiastic lover of tlio niinio. In his bi-iRlitest and darl«i'»t houi-s alilio Ih.j ta.tt'inatton of bowls never failed io apj>oal to liini. Even vvhwi h« was a prisoner at Cavor.shani. no sooner did ho learn that thore was a l)owling-j?recn nl- tached to an inn not l«r away than ho had his horse .saihlled and rode oil, to forget his Uoublc» in a (tame. The inn, which is at a vil- Jajfu called Collins Knd in a remote Corner of the Oxfordshire hills, has for its sign a portrait of Charles. Wherover he chanctsd to be, Charles ,wns always sure to lind his way to Ihe nearest green and it was while he actually had a bowl in his hjinds that Comet .lo.vce came one June day lo remove him from his prison in Holinby House. 'J'eimis has always been a favorite pastime of King K<dwni-d f-incc his days nt Oxiord and C'ambri<Ige, and In more ninliiri! years he has aj>enl hundreds of happy hours at the inod- om variant of tho old gaim- on t'hc lawns of .Sandring-ham and Afurlbor- ough Hou.se. THE SKCONP C1T.\1{IA« â- Was an expert and keen tennis-j>laycr. "Walkin(f along Whitehall." the old go.ssip Pep.v.s wrote in Kifj.l, "I heard the King wji.s gone to pluy at temii.s. So I drove down to I'ho new tennis- court, and .saw him and .Sir Arthur Sling.vby i>lay against my Lord of SulTolk^and my J.,oni Ohortterlield. The King beat three and lost two sets." Henry Vlll. was just as enthusias- tic a wielder of tho rao<|uet as Chailes. but ho could scarcely have iieen very slulful, for we learn that certain "crnttie persons about him brought in Freiu-hmen and Lom- lljards to '.rake wagors with him. and so he lost mueli money, but (.sensi- ble man) when he jwrceived tauir CI aft lie eschewed the company and let thi'ii! go." rtome years later we find him jilaylng the gamj in moio woithy coiupiiny. for he luiil .is part- ner the Kinperor Maximilian, and for opponents the i'rince of Orange and the Mai(|uis of Hrnndeiibuig. Henry must have inhontc-d his en- tliu.S'iasm for tennis from bis father, who.st- love of the game and of "such jil.TV and light follies" gener- ally caused tho Oaiijihin of l-'raiice, wlron that country was meditating) war againut us. to "semi him a TON OK TEN'Nl.S r.ALL.S lo play with, as ho had belter flkill of tennis than of war." . .lames I. jiielerrud >|Uoits to both bowls and tennis, and he wa.s never hapjiier than when playing tho game with one or other of his courtiers. Once, the story goes, when ho was playing with the ICarl of Mar he found his oj)ponent playing unfairly, !end (.'xclaimed, ".lonnie Mar has •slailed lue"; and from that day the nicliname ".lonnie Slaitur" stuck"^ to the .Scotlisih Karl.

Mary (Jueen of Scots was noted for her gkill with the bow, and a »lory has been told agaijist her that .shortly after Damleys nfurder she was shooting at the Tranent butts with Hethweil for Jiurtner. Henry VUI. was an "archer bold." and among other Hoy.il experts with how and arrow were Kdward VI. and Charles I. f^overal pustiines beloved of Royal- ty in j)ast centuries have fallen into disuse â€" in aoim? rn.ses very fortu- natel.v.
