and magnificent in the world. but
while passing through some of the
streets in the city, which are so very
narrow that if a couple of jackasses
should meet, one would be obliged to
retreat to where they could find place
where they could pass, he changed his
mind. He failed to meet many Turk

amusing and edifying, and at its con-
clusion the audience maRifested their
appreciation by vote OF thanks.
