of the fortnight he goes to learn its
fate.
"My dear fellow" cries the mana
ger enthusiastically, "the first two
acts of your piece are charming,
lovely, perfect; full of fire and go;
sparkling with wit. Unhapplly,
you do not sustain your reputation
10 the last two acts. The dialogue
loses life; /; the coherepcy Of the plot
is lost; the denouement is absurdly
weak. But for these unhappy last
two acts, the play would be an i'm.

and goes home disconsolate. 'Yor

friends; "why, he never read tn,

The author does so, and in

The races were very spirited for
those sort of races. The horses of
Perugia are handsome beasts. The
bands played the horses ran the
people cheered, and two lucky men
won each five hundred francs, a fine
silk banner and the applause Of his
townspeople. In the evening the
whole picturesque town was ablaze
with the fine illuminations. Fire
works were set off in the Piazza
San francesca del Prato, aud there
we're some Bengal lights. The fine
old medieval tower of the Sciri.
Scalzi, as it is now called, had gay
Bengal lights on its summit, and
was a fine sight. 1t is one Of the
last of the torre gentilizia that
made Perugia famous in ages gone
by. This city had seven hundred
of these towers at one time, and
the town was called from them
Turrena. 1t was from the l1th to
the 18th centuries, when every
, petty Baron, Duke and Marquis
had his stronghold.
The old cathedral, the fine foun.
