sketch of the young English paladin Astolfo.
We observe, finally, that the author of this
book concurs with Italian critics In holding
that, although endowed with marvellous
faculty Of invention, Boi8rdo had neither
the imagination nor the creative power Of

the Orlando 1nnamorato is on much lower

there is one respect in which the Count OF
Scandiano presents a favorable contrast
to Ariosto and Tasso, as also to the English
poet Spenser. There is far less adulation
in the 1nnamorato than in their poems

Mr.. II. G. Wells Lets His Fancy Loose Again

II he had only kept on as he had begun

| to Earth" Charles Scribner's Sons) would
have written the book of the season. As il
is his story is a notable one that will be
read very widely. The first half is consist
ent and thoroughly enjoyable, and is. on thu
whole, the best piece of long, connected
writing We have seen from his pen.
The extraordinary power of Imagination
manifest in his short stories and in the con.
struction of the plots of his longer tales,
the ability to present the logical develop
ments of scientific theories in a plausible.
matter-of-fact way, which is peculiar to
Mr.. Wells, is shown perhaps more clearly
here than in his previous work. He has de-
veloped humor besides. In his earlier tales
the attempt to be jocular always Jared.
Here he is sarcastic and amusing through
half of a pretty long volume with only occa-
sional betrayal Of an unduly heavy hand.
His satire of science and OF scientific men is
perfectly legitimate, and is as truthful as it
is bitter.
He may be accused of taking his main
idea from the commonest advertisements
in the newspapers, hut the special work of
genius is to create something big out OF or
binary materials. Recent perusal of news
papers must account, too, for much in the
last half of his hook where the Falkenstein
he has brought into existence gets the better
Of Mr.. Wells, as it has in every one Of his long
stories. He founders about not knowing
what to do with it.
He grows serious then and begins to
preach a sermon that we have heard from
him before. What Mr.. Wells's grudge
against British society is we do not know
but in all his larger books he breaches
social revolution, or at any rate points
out that it is bound to come If things keep
on as they are. There is no suggestion
Of possible Improvement only the por-
trayal of the grim ugliness and wrong OF
existing institutions and their overthrow
by picturesque and very violent means.
Here Mr.. Wells falls foul of present
political conditions in England Portions
of the last half of his book might be used
az campaign pamphlets. His picture of
the Conservative statesman fighting nat
ural laws by parliamentary procedure
is as good as Sydney Smiths Mrs. Part
ington. The reader will not be able t.
make out what Mr. Wells yearns for, but
he will he very sure Of the utter pettiness,
blindness and stupidity of most thing
that are. We form the impression that
Mr.. Wells, like Mr.. Kiplng, when he take,
to politics takes leave OF his senses; h.
certainly does of his artistic sense The
persons who are introduced have a gooi
deal Of character, again an advance on
Mr.. Wels's part. This does not include.

Mr.. Hume submits that the facts now
known, many OF which were cited in the
earlier chapters OF the first edition Of this
book, seem to prove beyond doubt that
the Queen was az much in love with
Leicester as 1t was In her nature to be with
any man; and consequently that. II he
was not her favored lover, no other OF her
suitors was likely to be. Even before the
death Of his first wife. Amy Robsart, the
Queen was said to visit his apartments
night and day: and the assertion became
a subject Of continual gossip at court and
was eagerly seized upon as political in
strument by the Conservative mobiles to
discredit Leicester himself. That the mat
ter was made the most Of by a powerful
party. with the result OF rendering Leicester
the most hated man In England, is I'M
questionable in the face Of numerous State
papers. now accessible in the Calendar.
MIR. Humes conclusion is that, after all
deductions for malignant exaggeration
have been made, the evidence available
from many Trustworthy sources leaves no
doubt that the relations existing between
the Queen and her lover we're very init
mate, and even compromising. for at least
ten years after her accession. As early as
February, 1891. sooa after Amy Robsart's
death. when Leicester's friends were really
hopeful OF seeing him married to the Queen
1t was asserted that already Elizabeth had
been welded to him secretly, and pre-
viously to the performance OF tho cere-
mony had had children by Leicester. The
statement was repeated with many varia-
tons, particularly abroad. until It became
an article Of faith with Elizabcth's enemies
In connection with this imputation the
author Of this work relates somewhat at
length a strange story. in the first place
because, 40 far as he has been able to dis
cover, IL had never received attention until
he exhumed it at Simanoas after the first
edition Of this book had been published;
and. secondly. because II is the only known
aceount which gives details Of the birth
and youth OF Elizrbeth's alleged offspring

WASHINGTON GOLFERS WON.
Took First Match From Sudbrook by
Score Of 8 to z.

More than the usual interest in the Sat-
urday games at Sudbrook Park golf links,
Baltimore was attached to the contest on
the clubs green's last Saturday, for the
club entertained and played with the rep
resentatives of the Washington Golf Club
of this city. and while they freely gave
their guests everything that could come
under the head of hospitality, they grudg
ingly tried to hold from them victory.
Six players of each the Sudbrook Park
Golf Club and the Washington Golf Club
paired off and twice went around the
course. But while only twelve golfers were
in the actual contest, there were scores Of
players the links who were engaged in
practice games, while there were also
scores Of visitors-especially of the gentler

Fourth Presbyterians Beat Wilson Me-
mortal in Good Game.

In a magnificent exhibition of base ball.
by far one of the best which has been seen
on the Mt. Pleasant grounds this year,
Fourth Presbyterian won from the Wilson
Memorial team by the score Of II to 8.
It was a close game from the start and
the fans were not sure that the Lambs"
had not won until the full side was out In
the ninth inning. Then a good many
breaths of relief could be heard drawn In
by the Fourth's rooters.
Several times during the game the Wilson's
had a winning lead. and in several in
stances lost it with a streak OF yellow
playing. but the boys in white made the
leaders play for their victory, and 1T was
frequent occurrence to have the Wilson
men cut Off at the plate with three men
on bases. Bielaslsi did this trick twice
Cunningham essayed to pitch the game for
the Fourths against Keefe for the Wilson's.
The Lambs found Cunny easy and hit
him hard and often, until in the fourth
he had to be taken out Of the box and re-
placed by Donaldson, who held his adver-
saries down 20 very few hits for the re-
naming part of the game. keefe had
choice selection of sou'paws with him and
served them in such a delicious style that
he kept the hits well scattered. and. if he
had had the support the Fourth men gave
their pitchers, would have probably have
brought out his team victorious. Score:
