The fact that the Duke of York played lawn tennis left-handed appears to have come as a general surprise to the majority of those who witnessed his play on the covered courts at Queen's Club, early in July (says the "London evening News"). As a matter of fact, his Royal Highness is ambidextrous. "When playing cricket, for instanco, he bowls and throws left-handed, but bats right-handed while there are manv things he can do almost equally well with either hand. He is the only ono of their' Majesties' sons, by the way, who is at all left-handed. Some time ago he commenced to practise writing with either hand, but never went very far with this. Mr Itudyard KiplHi\ speaking at a university dinner ii. Edinburgh, said the driving force behind the 300-year-old domination of the Scots derived its essentials from the strict, ineradicable spirit of th© great educationist, John Knox, -who never feared the face of man. It was John Knox who maintained that it should be lawful for men so to use themselves in matters of religion and conscience as they should answer to their Maker. It was not too much to say that, after all those years, on this considerable foundation of freedom and responsibility, the moral fabric of their university was reared.
