Origin Of the Passion Play.

AS early as the Thirteenth Cen
tury some drama of the Life OF
Christ was performed at Oberam-
mergau, but it became an estab'
lished institution of the place two
hundred and fifty years ago. AT
that time a plague was raging in
Bavaria. In Oberammergau alone
nearly n hundred people per-
ished. Accordingly, the terrified
survivors made a vow that if the
town was spared all further raw
ages of the disease, they would,
thereafter, every ten years, portray
in a dramatic form, for the instruc-
ton of mankind, the story of.
Christ's life and suffering. Appar-
emily, this vow was heard, for the
plague at once abated, and ever
since the villagers of Oberammer-
gau have felt it to be both a duty
and privilege to carry out promises
of their ancestors, bequeathing i'll
from generation to generation as al
sacred obligation. Although now
no novelty, during the summer
months of the decennial periods
when the play is given, this great
drama is witnessed every Sunday,
and almost every Monday, by al
multitude of visitors approximate
ing in all a quarter oil a million
people, who from all corners of thel
earth make their way, often at SCI
we're personal inconvenience, up
the steep mountains of the Tyrol,
merely to see this wonderful
drama. !

The interest in the Inaugural Handicap -
to be run on opening day, is manifest at
the track-and no two horsemen agree as
to the winner. Each day the fast work
OF some new candidate makes the result
more and more doubtful. Sidney Lucas
worked yesterday six furlongs (the first
