a dozen Spanish bull fights rolled into one.
Fortunately, I had played polo, and so
knew how to dodge on horseback. My con-
juring friend was a bad rider. and the
boars would have rolled him over and over
again If the sultan had not gone to his
rescue.
His majesty was in the thick Of the scrim-
mage all the time, darting over the grounds
like a streak Of lightning, and showing fine
pluck. Luckily. nobody was hurt during
the afternoon Of pig sticking. but there were
some narrow escapes.
few evenings later we had a pyrotech-
works before. and. Of course. they tickled
him like child. But Sir Harry MacLean
had better scheme to propose. Let US
have the boars out again. he said. land
chase them with lighted sauibs."
The sultan was overjoyed. If Sir Harry
had not already been chief
of the army, / believe he would have re-
warded him with that rank on the spot. The
ponies were ordered out. the boars let loose
and we mounted and lighted our squibs.
1t was the widest, queerest and most in
describable scene L ever witnessed. Imag-
inc us. yelling like maniacs. riding at a
breakneck gallop over the boulders and
ruts Whirling our fireworks over our heads,
and chasing those boars around and around
the courtyard. 1t was miracle we were
not all killed. The only person hurt was
the sultan. He held squib by the wrong
end and lighted 1t in the middle. Naturally,
he burned his fingers, and began to think
that the game was not such nice one
after all.
The Sultan Learns Parlor Magic.
Not a day passed without some new
amusement. As for the cares of state and
the government of the country. nobody
seemed to worry in the least about them.
Certainly the SULTAN did not. at that time.
Large quantities OF mechanical and sci
entific novelties had been ordered from
Europe-Abdul Axis was just big child.

Charles Frohuan's production OF Ulysses" The
justice heard both sides. ABE" Hummel appearing
for Mr.. Power and M Frohman. and reserved his
decision.
Mr.. FIske's claim is that NJ. Power. in appearing
under any management but his own this season, is
violating a contract. This contract called for Mr..
Powers services last season SIS week, 10 play
Judas. and contained clause giving Mr. Fiske the
right 20 his services for two more seasons az an
increased salary. = he chose 70 keep him Mr..
Fgskes counsel contended that Mr.. Power was the
only Judas that could be obtained who fully real
lied the part: that Mr. Fiske had thus been
obliged TO refuse 10 release him from his contract.
and proposed TO hold him TO 1t
on the other side Ny. Hummel counsel 1or Mr..
Frohman and the actor concerned, did not deny the
contract but declared that Il one-sided without
equity and 50 not valid. II contained clauses. he
said. by the terms OF which Mr Power would re-
ceve pay vrere Mrs Fiske e. and the drama not
presented and yet he could not play with any one
else. Again IL the play could be booked the
Idle but the actors could appear with other
companies. M HUmmel laid much stress on the
fact that though q he expressed IL, Tyrone Power
had made the Fskes The best Judas since the orig
iual. they had quite subor6ina1ed him IN the notices
