a SCENE IN ANCIENT GREECE.
m, Great Annasl 0asAsrius at the
Oiyapian OAmss.

The Great AnAna1 0a$ASsing AZ 49,
Olynpian 0Anss.
About the first OF tn Olympic month
war and battle sound ceased through
out the length and bssadth OF Heuas.
The distant roads which led to Olympia
were thronged with pilgrims bound on
IL Journey almost aA sacred as thh' y.
the pilgrimage to Meccs b. the deVout
Maho,nuedan. As tia distance les
scned and the time neared. the travellers
became more numerous, andit seemed
n. IL Greece dispatched all her brasest
and strongest and noblest Sons intothese
converging currents On horseback

un.on their backs, soma with elaborate
wagons containing splendid camp
cauipage and the richest wines ana
foods guarded by retinue OF servants.
they chol:cd each route with an army OF
teeInins life. The five festival days were
!. great rational picnic, where almost
everything Was enjoyed in the open nir
under n glorious midsummer sky. A
few of the distinguished visitors were
cared for in the temples; but major
ity, even Of the wealthy, chose the free
life of their own tents.
The daily scene, one cap fancy, was
rich with life and pictorial effect, One
Of the fairest Of Greek vasseys, with
snow-crowned heights ipsthe nack-
ground, its own bosom crowned wtn
the white-pillared beauty Of hundred
temples ard public edifices, is hiied
with thousands OF tents Of every Color
like gigantic flowers. During the hours
when the visitors do not resort TO the
stadium to thrill with the terrible
struggles of the runners or wrestleIs
or boxers, or to watch the smoking
horses in the hippodrome. they amuse
themselves at the booths of the traders
and chapmcn. For from all parts OF
the civilized world merchants have
gathered to sell their wares, ranging
from the rarest Jewels and most elab-
orate goldsmith work TO simple ar
ticles of daily use.
Olympia was indeed the arena of the
greatest public games Of antiquity. for
we cnn scarcely onll by this name the
cruelties Of the Roman amphitheater;
but II was also the site Of one of its
busy and active fairs, . national ex-
position" under canvas, every four
years.
Mental enjoyment Of the higher sort
was not missing from the entertain
ment. The leading tragedies were rep
resented in one Of the finest theaters Of
Greece. PoetA and historians came
here also to recite their new works,
and 20 to publish their fame to the
world. It is ssid that many OF the
stirring odes of Pindar were made pub
lie in this way, and that Herodotus. the
father Of history, hrst read his delight
full story before the audience at au
Olympian festival.-G. T. Ferris, in
