the performance this week includes the fir
ing Of guns and the beating OF bass drums and

While the Magistrate was hearing a case yes.

Boom! bo.o-o.m! clang! went the drum and

the Magistrate. and there was an outbreak OF
applause from the theatre audience that al.
most seemed to be in response to his remark.

lade OF firearms and the shouting OF mimic SOL

Il will not have this disturbance, and the

The Magistrate instructed Chief Clerk Teb.
belts TO call upon the theatre people after tho
court had closed aud notify them that the noise
must cease. This the cle.E did. He was in

II is quite likely that the windows next to the

and the meadows resound from early morning
until dusk with the swish OF the cutting
scythes and the VIKING OF the sharpening whet.
stones.
In the early morning OF each hay day there is a

that a man Is permitted to have all the grass
around which he can cut without invading the

The baymen worked hard in the early morn

and then took their time in moving the inclosed
grass.
The tall meadow grass Is tough and hard TO

able for fodder mixed with English hay. and the
shorter grass Is used for packing and for stable
