THE RUGBY CULT IN THE NORTH.

[FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT]

EDINBURGH, November 7th. Last week at Rugby School, a commora tion game was played between English- Welsh and Scottish-Irish teams to celebrate the centenary of the origin of the Rugby football game. The legend is that in the autumn of 1893, William Webb Elli, play- ing at football Rugby School, picked up

the ball in his arms and tau with it. No] pue would desire to throw doubts on its truth

But it is interesting to remark that the game of Hand Ball has been played for centuries in several

towns, including Hawick and Gord

and is still being played there yearly, and Bugby football, as played today, is just the old Border Iland Ball game The numbers engaged are fewer, and the spart is controlled by rules rendered necessary by the employment of smaller sides, but in all essentials Hand Ball nud Rugby are pne and the same.
