a SPANISH FETE


In the Cathedral of Seville.
It was not until the feast of San
Fernando that we learned with what
sumptuousness and stateliness the
beautiful interior could array itself for
its festivals, and with what fervor it
could keep them Already en-. the eve
of the great day, the royal chapel was
hung with silken draperies; cIoth-of-
gold covered the roy al tombs. the altar
WAS mass of golden plate. and people
were crowding to kiss the hands of the
Virgen de los Reyes. the large, ma
tronly Virgin who wears cap like that
of the ladies of the sacred heart, and
who holds the child in her arms
When we came to the cathedral it's
court was held by red-legged soldiers,
grouped about the fountain, a. the
base of pillars. on every step Two
sentlnels paced up and down at the
door of the royal chapel, which was
filed with well-dressed men and women
in mantillas, GRO uched on the floor,
sitting on low camp-stools, lying face
downward with hands outstretched to
form cross. or else pressing closely
about the altar; for the curtain was
raised above the coffin where San Fer
nando has lain these thousand years.
and through the glass we could see the
robes; and all the people prayed as if
they meant it
We wandered back in the late after
noon, in the hour just before sunset
Under the oranges and about the
fountain the red-legged soldiers still
fingered and 1oafed; but even as we
came bugle sounded, they fell into
line and marched across the court
through the cloister, under the door
with the crocodile above, and then in
to the royal chapel, where they formed
on each side The altar with its hum
dreds of candles maze an almost blind
ing glory in the midst of the falling
shadows, and wherever the sillzen
hangings caught the light they shone
with jewel-like splendor. But the
service was very simple, the more sol
emn because of its simplicity. A monk
in black robe mounted into a pulpit
half hid in dusky corner. He recited
a 1itany, and the people answered, and,
without organ or accompaniment. a
hymn was sung.
Then he prayed aloud, not in Latin,
but in Spanish; a prayer of thanks
giving that the country had been
freed from the terrible Moors, petit
ion that they might never come again,
that glorious St. Ferdinand might pre-
vail, and that Spain should flourish
forever. With these words, which he
fairly shrieked forth, he waved a fran
tic sign of the cross with his crucifx
as he gave a blessing The mass of
officers drew their swords, the soldiers
grounded their arms with crash and
fell on their knees, the band burst in
to the national hymn, the color-guard
marched to the altar and seized their
flags. which had been left before
the tomb all day. They saluted the
hero of their country; the curtain
dropped, shrouding him from sight;
and then, the band at their head, they
marched out with a dignity which

Yesterdays hand Concert.

Another large and appreciat.ve audience
gapaered at the Seattle theater yesterday
afternoon. the occasion being one OF the
popular Sunday musicales by the First
Regiment band. The character of these
entertainments has commended Itself to
musical people generally, and the efforts
TO proysde firSt-ciass music at a min mum
price is receiving substantial support. The
programme of yesterdays event was quite
as attractive as those of previous con-
certs, and contained as novelties a y-olin
solo by Mrs Samuel Dr,scoll and vocal
solo by the we.i-known tenor c. A. Ed
munds. Both received enthusiastic APP
plause and Mr. Edwards responded 10 the
encore Mrs. Driscol. however. contented
herself with a SIMPLE acknowledgements.
Ii was her first public appearance IN Sc
attic and the lady was somewhat nervous.
Her work, however. served to show that
she IS competent, and under more favor
able circumstances would have appeared
to advantage.
The band muse was a. attractive. ana
one of the most effective selections was a
selection from Victor Herbut's Wizard
of the Nile" an opera IN which Mr.. Frank
Daniels has made a most pronounced sue
cess.
