Chiaf Juatio* Marshall Waa a Husky
Expart at tha Oam*.
’ Quoits is not'ao active a game as
tennis or even golf, bat it" is never
theless one of the oldest and most
widely known of games. Justice
Marshall belonged to the famous
Richmond Quoit club, which includ
ed among its members the leading
men of that city. The club used
to hold meets once a week inabeau
11 if ill grove about a mile out of the
| town.
Marshall, besides being one of
the very cleverest pitchers, always
threw heavier quoits than any of
his opponents. The quoits in gen
eral use were of smooth, highly pol
| ished brass, but his were made of
rough iron.
air. Marshall always entered into
a contest with his whole heart. Nor
on occasion did he decline the peril
ous duty of a referee. It is amus
ing to read of the great chief jus
tice of the United States “down
on his hands and knees, with a
straw and a penknife, the blade of
the knife stuck through the straw,
holding it between the edge of the
quoit and the hub, and when the
’decision was a very close one pinch
ing or biting off tbe ends of the
straw until it would fit to a hair.”
There is an entertaining con
temporary account of a meet in
which Marshall led one side and a
Rev. Mr. Blair the other.
Marshall played first and straight
away “rang the meg.” Parson
Blair did the same, his quoit com
ing down plump on top of Mar
shall’s. There was uproarious ap
plause, and the match then and
there stopped until the controversy
as to what should be the effect of
this exploit could be settled.
Marshall, vigorously presenting
his own side of the argument, began
by proposing the question. “Who is
winner when the adversary quoits
arc on tbe meg at the same time?”
He then stated the facts and re
marked that the question was one
of the true construction and appli
cation of the rules of the game.
The one who first rings the meg
has the advantage. No other ean
succeed who does not begin by dis
placing this first one. The parson,
he willingly allowed, deserves to
rise higher and higher in every
body’s esteem, but he must not do
it by getting on another’s back in
this fashion. That is more like
leap frog than quoits.
Mr. Wickham, one of the counsel
who defended Aaron Burr, then un
dertook to present the opposite side
of the case. No rule, lie said, re
quired an impossibility. Mr. Mar
shall’s quiot was twice as large as
any other, and vet it flew from his
arm like the iron ball at the Gre
cian games from the arm of Ajax.
It was impossible for an ordinary
quoit to move it.
After animated voting the deci
sion of the majority of those pres
ent was in agreement with Parson
lllair’s side of the case. It was one
of the rare .occasions when the chief
justice was worsted in an argument.
Another playoff of the point was
had. however, and that time Mar
shall clearly won.—Youth’s Com
panion.
Old Bridal Pairs.
A wedding at Wolborough be
tween a couple whose ages are re
spectively seventy-five and seventy
suggests the question of the great
est age at which men and women
have married. An entry in the
parish register of Greenwich sounds
like the record, for it tells how in
1685 John Cooper, aged 108, wed
Margaret Thomas, a spinster of
eighty. After this it is not surpris
ing to find the death of “Ould
Cooper” recorded the following
year. Greenwich, too, can claim
another elderly bridegroom in Wil
liam Keith Ball, who was bom
there in 1?SS and did not marry un
til I8T0.—T.ondon Chronicle.
Ancient Hunger Strikes.
“Hunger strikes” were not un
known in seventeenth century Eng
land. John Evelyn in 1656 found
martyrs to their beliefs in Ipswich
and entered the fight and its se
quel in his diary. “1 had the curi
osity to visit some Quakers here in
prison.*' lie noted on July 8, 1656,
“a new fanatic set of dangerous
principles, who show no respect to
nnv man. magistrate or other. One
of these was said to have fasted
twenty davs. but another, endeavor
ing to do the like, perished on the
tenth, when he would have eaten,
hut could not.”
