nR. BAYARD'S POPULARITY.
1he Ambassador Given AN Enthusiasti
Welcome mt stratfnrd- -on- Avon.


Welcome at Stratford-on-A Avon.
London, April %. Ambassador
Bayard has just finished the second
day of his tour through applauding
crowds. To-day he presented to Holy
Trinity Church, at Stratford on Avon,
an American stained glass window. He
was accompanied by Lord Leigh and
Mayor Smallwood They had to pass
through multitude filling the church.
Then came splendid pageant, the
clergy of the whole country, the
choristers, cross and banner bearers,
clerks, and SO on. The vicar read a
prayer for the Queen, then prayer for
President Cleveland Afterward he
described the window gift Of the
Americans and said that people come
to Stratford from ovhry corner of tho
world, and none were so affectionate
toward Shakespeare as the Americans.
Mr.. Bayard said: Shakespeare 8
genius is the common heritage of two
great peoples. We of America claim a
joint and equal share in this heritage
we want no part. "
The service over Mr.. Bayard went to
the Town Hall, where luncheon was
served. LORD Leigh toasted President
Cleveland and called him tho "Presi-
dent of America. The people cried,
Rah! rah rah! rah % four times.
His lordship said that he deiied correc-
tion for his phrase. He called Mr.. Bay
ard the most popular Ambassador the
United States ever sent to England.
Then Mr.. Bayard spoke. He said he
was republican citizen. yet he
acknowledged himself a subject Of King
William Shakespeare. He said that he
considered Shakespeare one of the best
Americans that ever lived. lIo recol-
lected that racing men sometimes de-
scribe a close horse race by saying /:
'Siugle blanket would cover both
horses. +" In the case of the great Eu-
glish race he preferred saying that a
tablecloth would cover both contestants.
a tablecloth, and all it implies, was
the best covering for dispute where
Shakespeare was concerned. "Thero's
no disagreement then," he exclaimed.
There's no boundary line in it. "
Cheers.
After the luncheon Consul Parker, at
the Memorial Theatre, pre- eented nor
trait of Booth to the playors' Club and
Ambassador Bayard spoke again.
