Colonel Charles r. Pope, whilom one of
the best actors on our stage, now United
States Consul at Toronto, Canada, was
present at the late st. Andrews banquet in
that city, and in replying to an extra toast
given in honor Of the country he so ably
represents, complimented the Scots, and
also made neat allu5ion to the talk about
annexation. "a great and wonderful race"
was his verdict of Scotchmcn, a raca VINO

unrivaled. Later, in reply 10 some re-

sturdy, ruddy-faced Italian CT the peasant

little piece, LA Partita di Schacchi," taken
from the history of the family into whose

friend FEDERICO Partoris, an artist, had
painted picture, Il Signori de Challant,"
and suggested to Giac0sa that there was q
theme for dramatic treatment in the Bur-
gundian Lords who Staked their daughters
hands on the result of game of chess.
Then Giacosa elaborated the subject and
produced lie Conte Rosso," a drama in
four acts. which is really the back bone OF
Bernhardrs play. He dedicated it to Ed
