Firearms, it is said, proved the 
were in their glory in the days of 
_ the spear and chain armor. Also 
> the death of Henry II, who fell in a 
_ chivalric conflict, contributed to 
their decadence. 
In an attempt later to revive the 
- spectacle it came to such a sorry end 
_ that the ghost of the tournaments in- 
q 4 voked vanished forever. 
_ Other contests called tournaments 
have taken the place of the conflicts 
of the days ‘‘When Knighthood 
~ Was in Flower.’’ 
Modern achievements of skill are 
_ rewarded in gold. For the beating 
of another man into insensibility, 
gold. For the hurling of a racing 
machine around a track or sending 
a flying machine over the clouds in 
a flirt with fate, gold. 
Is the reward as truly noble as a 
wreath of laurel or a coat of arms? 
_ Even the remnants of chivalric 
days in traditions and devices prized 
are superior dispite all supercilious 
 sneers, to the modern trophy in the 
form of newspaper check for break- 
ing a speed or altitude record. The 
modern contest and tournament, 
founded on the money prize, may 
well go back to knighthood days for 
the knighty spirit to put tone into 
decadent stock.
