Oct-20-14  ljfyffe: Montreal Gazette Feb. 13 1900 <He was an exception to most highly educated scholars in that his attaiments were varied. He excelled in classics as well as in mathematics and had a taste for the arts and for games of skill. He attained a high degree of perfection in drawing, was an accomplished musician, and was well known as a strong player of the royal game of chess.>
