proportionately urgent need for liberal subscriptions in order to defray the cost , and we trust the influence and advocacy of the gallant general will be successful in securing a large measure of support for this excellent institution , the more especially as the anniversary of the school is coincident in point of time with the anniversery of the saint to whose honour it is dedicated .

also as editor of Land and Water and proprietor of Lillie Bridge Grounds , was educated at Eton and afterwards at Trinity College , Cambridge . He was a fine oarsman , having rowed two years running for his university , and having some years later played the part of coach to the light blues and taught them how to achieve the victory . He was moreover a good athlete , and one who did his utmost to encourage every kind of sport for the honour of the

thing and not for any profit that might be made out of it . He was the determined enemy of anything that had about it eventhc semblance of chicanery , and as a consequence there was no one who was more generally respected by genuine sportsmen . His loss will be felt not only by his relatives , friends , and intimate acquaintances , but likewise by the athletic world generally , for whom at Lillie Bridge he had worked so hard and achieved so much .

Mr . Chambers , who was a conspicuous figure in athletic and aquatic circles , and was known

also as editor of Land and Water and proprietor of Lillie Bridge Grounds , was educated at Eton and afterwards at Trinity College , Cambridge . He was a fine oarsman , having rowed two years running for his university , and having some years later played the part of coach to the light blues and taught them how to achieve the victory . He was moreover a good athlete , and one who did his utmost to encourage every kind of sport for the honour of the

thing and not for any profit that might be made out of it . He was the determined enemy of anything that had about it eventhc semblance of chicanery , and as a consequence there was no one who was more generally respected by genuine sportsmen . His loss will be felt not only by his relatives , friends , and intimate acquaintances , but likewise by the athletic world generally , for whom at Lillie Bridge he had worked so hard and achieved so much .
