QUAINT ITALIAN FESTIVAL.
How the People of aubbio whirl the

ImaGe OF St. george AROUND ! own.
A quaint ceremonial, dating back to the
mists of antiquity, is performed on May 20
at the little Umbrian town of Gubbio. On
that day, writes a correspondent of the
London Morning Post, the town is alive
with crowds of newcomers from far and
near anxious to witness the famous pro
| cession of the Cert, which the inhabitants
| still zealously hold on the vigil of the!r
| patron and forme. bishop, S.. 'Ubaldo.
A cero is a tall wooden pole or mast
which passes through the middle Of two
lantern shaped frames of wood ard can
vas, separated from each other and sur
mounted by the figure of u saint. The low
err extremity Of the mast fits INTO a wood
en- stretcher provided with two long
shafts, one at each end, so that it can be
borne along the steep streets and up the
mountain side above the town on the
stalwart backs of the young and vigorous.
These ceri are three In number, and each
is sur7nounted by the Image OF a separate
sain,-the first by that of S. Ubaldo, the
second by that Of st. George and the thiro
by that of S. Antonio.
st. Georges cero rests on pports rep
resenting a heap of wine barrels, a col
lection from various shops, a drum, mace
and battleaxe and a pile OF spears, because
that warrior saint is the patron of the
shop keepers, az according to Napoieor
