Game HlS— "Old Fourteenth "

whan defeatit the Herd Laddie's glower ower the tap o' his specks set their hearts pit-a-pat like a deid lamb's tail. An' after a' was ower tae hear hoo ilka ane wad hae won if— ah ! an awfu' word in draughts —he had made siccan a move. A'e loon no vera big, 1 either, but a don, thocht tae get a draw, but the fates were against him ; anither, bigger in statur, bo 'c for a win, and didna get it. Wyllie's consolalation, in his usual unmistakable way, was, "Ye had a draw, but ettled at a win, an' got nayther." Dear Maister Editor, it cheers ane up to hae a crack wi' ane frne the Antipodes (is that spelt richt?), in ane's am vernacular, an' I'm sure that ane an' a' feel a' the better for Wyllie's veesit, an' wish that hemay lang he spared ta« reign ower a' darabrod players, an" verify his claim tae the championship o' the world. Sac guid-een tae ye.— l am, &c, Johx Plod. Broseha 1 , March 0, ISBB.
