THE STRATFORD SHAKESPEARIAN

FESTIVAL

(nom on mew, comszeromorr.)
STRATFORD-ON-AVON, FRIDAY.
After the victory, one of the first cares should
be to count the cost. It is a trite story that
Alter length of time, the labouring swam,
Who turn the turfs of the unhappy plass,
Shall rusty piles from the ploughed knees take,
Aod over empty helmets par thinks.
_

And now that the Stratford battle against luke-
warmness, hostility, and local and other jealousies
has been fairly won, it is worth while asking how its
rank and file have fared. The generalissimos of
the forces--the guarantors and committeemen—are
proudly wearing the laurels they have so worthily
achieved, and may throw the victorious cry,
" thousand pounds already paid into the
bank," in the teeth of their hostile critics and cen-
sorious friends. They can bear a good deal of
" damning with faint praise " with philosophic
equanimity, for have they not the pleasantest of
material assurances that they have fought the good
fight, and that a substantial guerdon is theirs ?
But, as it would have puzzled Celliii him-
self to devise a medal which should have
no reverse, so there is another aide to
this picture of the festival, whereon it is
necessary to briefly descant. The immense physical
and meutal strain borne by the active promoters of
the festival, the plaintive confession—a confession
made in no Banting-like spirit of self-glorification,
but told as a solemn truth—of one of these gentle-
men, that he has "lost a atone and a half" during
the six months he has been smoothing away the
difficulties and combating the obstacles wherewith
the tercenteuary was beset, represents but a small
item in the coat of its 111100:1111. " Larding the lean
earth " may not be particularly satisfactory, but it
has in it a smack of self-immolation and heroic
sacrifice which, like virtue, should be its own
reward. It is the poor camp followers, the sutlers,
the men-at-arms, the troopers, and the subalterns,
who are now experiencing all the miseries of defeat,
without baying even tasted the excitement of war-
fare. The people who looked forward to making a
year's rent by a week's letting, and who sapiently
took the first step in the coveted direction, by
frightening away all moderate people by the exor-
bitance of their demands •, the purveyors of food,
who, trooping in from the neighbouring towns,
submitted, like the fag at Eton, to be punished,
pecuniarily by the owners of houses with a touching
faith that they would be able to punish the public in
their turn ; the speculators in sleeping accommoda-
tion' who bought up at heavy prices every available
bed, in their artless eagerness to supply "tired
nature's sweet restorer " at festival prices
here are all these ! When Becky Sharp sickened
of the vanity and emptiness of life, the three per
cents. were the securities wherein her weary soul
longed for anchorage ; and many worthy people,
tired, possibly, of the endless discussions as to the
authenticity of a picture, or the reading of a
passage, have sought a solace from the puzzles of
critics,' and the squabbles of oommentators, in the
pounds, shillings, and pence to be extorted from
the people less practical than themselves. "Drink,
weary pilgrim, drink and pay," was the line rug-
gaited by Sir Walter Scott to the tavern-keeper
who enlarged his house on the strength of the vast
number of Eneliah tourists who flocked to the
scenes described in Ifarmion ; and " eat, drink, or
sleep, weary Shakespearian Rilgrimß, at your plea-
sure, lint above all pay, 'was in the outset the domi-
nant sentiment here. As a matter of course, this
policy has defeated itself, and there have been
severe lasses and bard hits.

On Monday next Bottom the weaver, Snug
the joiner, Flute the bellows-mender, Starve-
ling the tailor, and Snout the tinker, are to
bold their festival, and in a grand street pageant
will give the managers of the Tereenteinu7 a praotical
lesson as to bow matters should be arranged "to do
good to the town." The "black country" will, these
ardent and disinterested Shakespearian argue,
furnish forth amore "paying" band of pilgrims than
the people who have filled the Pavilion, and as the
popular entertainments provided by the committee
are well arranged, as the prices of admission range
from one shilling to three, and as they are placed
under the able superintendence and control of Mr.
Creswick, it is very possible that, as far as mere
number are concerned, the town will have an
even Urger tribute duringthe nextthree daysthan it
has enjoyed since the commencement of the festival.
Although the attendance at the Pavilion last
night was not quite so large as on the preceding
one, the room was well filled, and con-
tained more well-known London faces than at
any fennel. time. As Yuti Like It was the only
piece played.
This morning the music-stands for the instru-
mentalists of to-night were being rapidly put upon
the stage ; the seats in the body of the ball were
removed, and the entire aspect of the room was
that of a theatre swept and garnished for a prome-
nade concert ; committee-men were busily confer-
ring as to tickets and the all-important question of
vouchers ; carriages were rapidly driving to and
fro the High-street, stopping at such shops
as either vend the materials for fancy dresses,
or let ou hire the ready-made costumes ;
Mr. May, of the Haymarket Theatre, was busily
arranging his mulifarious wardrobes, and giving
intending marquees their choice between the Touch-
stone, Amiens, the banished duke of last night, and
an endless variety of Shakespearian dresses ; and if
premuaitory symptoms be worth anything at all,
the ball of to-night will be a crowning point to the
other 00000•11011 of the week.
