clear stream, and on this pleasant
HILL" he says, Il will build a city and a
church. From this holy place the
knowledge OF the true God shall
spread throughout the western lands
And It shall be known throughout all
ages as the place Of the clear stream,
and unto the end OF time its children
shall call it-Sherborne.
The next episode introduced the
most famous OF Sherborne's bishops,
Ealhstan, known as the lighting bish'
op. and King Ethelwulf's best general.
He II was who won the first complete
victory over the Danes at the mouth
Of the Parret in S45. He was shown
in the full armor Of the period, leading
a charge against the invading Danes to
the cry of For God and home" After
terrific hand.to.hand encounter they
are driven back through the Chapel
Exit leaving their dead and wounded
on the ground.
The third scene presented the most
famous figure associated with Sher'
borne's history, Alfred the Great. A
procession enters bearing the dying
King Etheibald to his last resting
place at sherborne. He is met by his
brother, Ethelbert. and their mother,
Queen osburga. With them is Alfred,
at this time but a lad. Ethelbald en-
braces Ethelbert, with whom he had
long been at enmity, and expires after
bestowIng blessing on Alfred. Queen
osburga leaves Alfred with Bishop
Ealhstan to be educated.
ut is a great glory for the house OF
sherborne and for Sherborne school to
have him among u.s." says the warrior
prelate. For his presence lifts sher-
borne on high as the chief city Of
Wessex."

The ninth shows the expulsion 81
the monks at the dissolution Of the
monastery by King Harry and the
sale Of the abbey church.
The next illustrates the refounding
Of the famous Sherborne school and
the receipt OF its charter from King
Edward W. in 1850.
The last OF the episodes introduces
one Of the most heroic and tragic
figures Of English history, Sir Walter
Raleigh, whose association with Sher.
borne is accounted not the least Of its
claims to distinction. II depicts his
homecoming, with his wife, to the cas-.
lie which had been granted him by
Queen Elizabeth. Sir Walter makes
some pretty and gallant speeches to
his wife, which puts her in such good
humor that she fills his pipe for him
and leaves him to the enjoyment Of
the "Vlrglnian weed" which he Is sup
posed to have first introduced into
England. Then occurs that humorous
incident with which every smoker is
familiar. A servant comes in, and
imagining his master is on fire, souses
him with a jug Of ale.
The performance concluded with a
final tableau emblematic. Of the pres.
ent and past greatness Of sherborne,
In which all the principal figures that
appeared in the previous pageants par
ticipated.
Sherborne was symbollzed by a
stately female figure" with long loose
hair, surmounted by a castellated
crown, and bearing in her right hand
a model Of Sherborne abbey.
On her right hand stood another fe-
male figure, typifying her American
daughter, who dropped the final e"
from her name when she settled In
Massachusetts,. She wore a diadem Of
stars on her head; her left hand
rested on the arms of the state Of Mas
sschusetts, and In her right hand she
bore q model Of caravel.

Of its great age and glorious memories.
II took the form Of a spectacular folk
play or pageant in which the most
noteworthy events that have taken
place In the old gray town were re.
enacted.
II was given in the open air amid
the ruins Of old SherbOrne castle
around which cluster so many memo
ries Of the days when Sherborne lived
the strenuous life. No modern stage
could provide a setting so well adapted
to the performance.
In the folk play 700 OF the townsfolk
took part. The historical accuracy OF
the costumes provided for them is
vouched for by the best authorities.
Sherborne's chief claim to historic
renown lies in the fact that II was for
time the capital Of the newer Yves.

which successfully withstood the Dane
while Alfred gathered his forlorn hope
In the marshes OF Athelney for the
fight which made England and all that

which the play is divided were de-
voted to this period OF its history.
