O UR pleasant game was a favorite diversion of the Danee i6 tb• olden time. It wns introduced during the heathen-age aod eeea11 to have clomlll'ticated it '! elf at once among the hardy heroes of tlad Northern realm. The men they used were made sometimefl of walru- teetb, sometime• of bone, ;nd a great deal of artistic skill wu fre- quently expended upon their construction. A rare and beautiful specimen of an ancie nt Sc:mdioavian obeY-piece wu dug up only a few years ago in the garden of tbo pastoral residence at Riaerup, iJa the Island of Falflter. It represented a BUAnp , sitting in a obair with the Book of the Gospels in his right band aBd a crosier in his let\; iJa the liOCketa of the eyes bad evide ntly been set some sort of preoi~ mnes which bad since fallon out.

Soattered through their annals are aenral remarkable cbe11 incidents, some of which we propose briefly to p!aoe before oar readera.

Canute the Great, the ruler both of England and Denmark, of • 'Sovereign of five Realms' ns he is styled in the old British chronicle!, once went to Southern Sweden to suppress a rebellion which bad been inci~d by his son Hardicanu~ and by Ulf Jarl, or Earl Ulf, a pow- erful chieftain and courtier.· Rumors of the advance of the royal fleet having reached them, these latter deserted their followers and allies, ampng whom we re the Kings of Sweden and Norway, and has~ned to make their peace with the monYch. The ftoet sailed into the mouth of the Helge River, where a fierce battle ensued. The Anglo-Dan~h King's own ship was, at one time, in imminent danger, but Ulf Jarl at great personal hazard succeeded in saving it. Canute now wen 't to Roskilde, \he. capital of his Danish domains, where he arrived, the day before the feast of St. Michael in the year 1027. Here Ulf Jarl, eager to wipe. out his former offence, welcomed him with a splendid banquet, and endeavored by merry worda and submissive speeches to reinsta~ himself in Cauu~'s graces. But a.U Ulf's efforts to plP.ase the incensed monarch were futile ; he contin}led to look sober and ill-natured. In the course of t~e evening tho Jarl challen- ged him to a game of oh~ and the ohallc~ge was accepted. During the game Canute made a hasty move and left a Knight en prise ; the Jarl c&ptured it but the King requested him to replace it and either make another move or else allow him (Canute) to recall his former move. The J a.rl refused, aro se from the table, overturned the pieces and walked away. The King, with a bitter laugh, called to him and said, 'Are you running away, you cowardly Ulf ?' The Jarl tnrned and replied, "You would have run much farther away at the Helge River, if you had been able. You didn't call me a coward then when I came to your help, while the Swedes we re slaying your men like dogs." The next morning the pious sovereign who rebuked his irreverent courtierE& by the sea-side with such religious philosophy, and who had just returned from an humble pilgrimage to Rome, sen~ one of his Norwegian men-at-arms to Trinity Church, ' in Roakilde, where the poor Jarl bad taken SD.Dctuary, and had him slain in the choir. This adds another to the curious parallels of history, for Ulf J arl appears to have been to Canute the Great what Thomas-a-Becket was to Henry the Second. In 1157, something more than a hundred years after the deat)l of Canute, another historic game of cheSB and another royal violation of TBK CBBSS IION TBLT. 195 • hospitili~y took place in the ancient city of Roskilde. In t.ha~ 18&! the kmgdom of Denmark was divided between three monarchs, SveD4 1 Valdemar and Canute the fifth. This took place after many yean of oonteet, between Svend on the one hand and Valdemar and Canute QD the o~er. Each King was to rule over a third of the tealm and eac~ nore liefore the altar to preserve the compact invioll.te. Bu~ it did not Jut three days. Canute asked his brother monarchs to spend a few daya of festivity with him at Roskilde. Svend came with a orowd of aoldien. 0ne evening Valdemar sat at the chess-board, where thtt battle waxed warm. His adven;ary was a nobleman, and Canute ~~~ by Valdemar's side watching the game. All at once, Canute obeer- 'ring aome 1U8picious consultations between Svend and one of his cap- tains, and feeling a preeentiment of evil, threw his arms around V aide- mar's neck and kissed him 'Why so merry, cousin?' askedthe lat- ter without removing his eyeB from the chess-board. 'You willaoon aee,' replied Canute iu an apprehensive tone. Just t~en the armed aoldiery of Svend rushed into the apartment, slew Canute and severely wounded :Valdemar. The last.-named having wrapped his mantle abou~ his arm to serve for a shield, extinguished the lights, and fought like a lion. Be succeeded in making his escape and is known in history u the powerful Valdemar the Great. A century later che&<t again makes ita appearance upou the historio stage of Denmark. At that time Eric Plovpenning, or Plov.glt.~•y, u he wu called, ruled wisely aud well over the fierce and war-loving people of that country. In t.be summer of 1250 he ~on his ny to defend the town of Rendsborg against the attack of aome Germali J-nds, when be received an invitation from his brother Abel to visi~ him in Slesvig. The unsuspecting and open-hearted Eric accepted. After dinner, on the Ninth ~f August, the same day of his arriyal, he retifed to a little ple&l\'lre house near the water to enjoy a quiet game of ch~ with a knight whose name was Henrik Ker kwerder. AI they were playing the blaok-hearted Abel entered the room, marcbecl up to the cheee-table, accompanied by several of his followers, and began to overwhelm the King with.abuse. At length the unfortunate Eric wu thrown into chains and was basely murdered that very night. Poor lOng l little did be merit so cruel a checkmate. Oonoerning the presen~ state of the game in Denmark little, unf'or- tuately, is baown outside o~ the country itaelf. W aker statee that a • • THE CRESS KOK'fRLT. pe1110n by tbe name of Osterberger held in 1 8~7 the Profe8iorlllip ~ chess in the military Acade my of Copenbllgen, and that be bad pub- lished a treatise on the game. The existence of such a chair may well be doubted, and it is altQgether certain that no chess work has ever been published in Den~ark by any one bearing the name of · Os~rberger.• Of course so large a city as the Danish capital mUll . have· one or. more places wh ere chess is regularly played. The writel' of the present article, who spe nt a pleasant twelvemonth in the Nor- thern metropolis some years ago, used to frequent a large reading- room asituated on Kj1>bmagergade or eome other Gade. He very well remembers passing at each vi s it through a sort of restaurant ot smoking-room on his way to the little cabinet appropriated to the foreign journals. In thiR restaurnnt were half-a-dozen or more cheM- tables which see med to be in pr etty constant use. But at that time the writer was totally igno ra nt of the game and scarcely deigned a glance at the boards or plnyers. Through this sin of ignorance he may have lost the oppQr-tunity of seeing some Danish Philidor or ot witnessing a contest between the La Bourdonnnis and M'Donnell of Scandinavia.
