until 1S62 when another uprising oc- cured, and he was compelled to quit the country. The desire of the popu- lace then was for constitutional monar- chy, and vote was cast in favor of Prince Alfred of England the present Duke of Saxe-Coburg, for king. This, however, was contrary to the agree ment of the three protecting powers that no member of their own ruling families should occupy the Greek throne. The crown was offered to seve- ral persons, including the Earl of Der by. and finally, through English influ- ence, was conferred upon Christian William Ferdinand Adolphus George, the second son of the King of Dem mark, who began his reign under the ti- tie of George I. on June 6, 1S63 At this time the Ionian Islands were trans ferred to his rule by Great Britain. In 1875 the unconstitutional conduct of the ministry brought about political crisis which almost amounted to revolution, but the king, who stood by his minis ters to the last moment, finally yielded, and the danger passed During the last Russo-Turkish war the Greeks were eager to begin a campaign in Thessaly and Epirus, but were restrained by Great Britain, who promised that they would gain more by preserving peace full attitude. The fulfillment of this promise was foreshadoWed in an article of the Berlin treaty, which has never been enforced. The twentyfif anni- Yersary of King Georges reign was eel ehra ted with much pop,llar enthuSfa srn in 1888. Among the later events of his reign his revival of the Olympian games is conspicuous. He married, in 1867, the Princess Olga, daughter of the Russian Grand Duke Constantine, and his eldest son, the Crown Prince Con- stantine, in 1889 married the Princess Sophie of Prussia. He is therefore con- nected by marriage very intimately with the English, Russian and German courts.-New York Post.

THE PRESENT GREEK KINGDOM.
 The Greek kingdom dates from 1882, when, after period of anarchy follow ing upon the assassination of President Capodistrias in 1881, Otho of Bavaria was proclaimed monarch, under the protection of England, France and Rus sia.

An Excellent Plan Applied to "A Round of
 Pleasure"

An Excellent Plan Applied to "A Round of
 Pleasure"
 An innovation has been made in the usual method of handling large advance sales at the Hyperion, to apply to the sale for the big production of "A Round of Pleasure" which occurs the last three nights of next week. Although the regular advance sale for seats for all parts of the house will open, as announced, next Monday morning, special sale of one dollar seats and boxes only will take place at ? o'clock tomorrow afternoon. It Is hoped by this means 10 avert the necessity of so many people standing in line Monday morning, which has always been source of much annoy ance and the cause of great loss of time, to purchasers of seats where there has been q heavy demand. Nothing but dollar seats and boxes will be sold tomorrow; and. if those who have concluded to attend either of the four performances of the new extravaganza, and who desire the best seats, will make their purchases tomorrow, it will not only save them time and annoy ance but it will relieve the Monday morn ing applicants similarly. All signs point to q very large sale. and four brilliant and opening night, Thursday, gives promise of being the most notable amusement event of the season here. It will take on all the characteristics of grand opera affair, in, asmuCh as society appears to have selected the occasion for it's own, and for the addi- tional reason that many first nighters" and critics from New York have signitied their intention to be present An especially attractive feature of the performance will be the large orchestra which has been en- gagged to give Ludwig Englander's score perfect rendition. The music of the new piece is described as the most masterly and beautiful ever accomplished by Englander, this means much in view of the delightful work which he achieved In Francis Will here. To-morrow's special sale will no doubt attract many people who want the best seats and who will appreciate the de- vice which will make if unnecessary for thna11 n lnsn trln ii llln in limo
