or a New Age" brings the pageant up
to 1850. 1t shows Mary Tudor pres
ent at st. Matthew'S fair. Later it
deals with the dissolution, the dis
persal of the monks and the sale of
the abbey for $2,065; also with the
foundation of the first of King Ed
ward Wis 80 grammar schools.
Liverpool has just celebrated the
seven hundredth anniversary of it's
foundation with pageant. The an
cient town of St. Adams, which suf-
fers from an embarrassment of riches
in the matter of historic associations,
also had it's pageant, as did Carts
brooke castle, Isle Of Wight, where
Charles l. was imprisoned.
The Oxford pageant, which ran
from June q to July 3, achieved a

sands of American visitors to the
old university town. That of Rom
sey abbey, which preceded it, was a
scarcely less notable triumph The
gray abbey itself, the milenary of
whose foundation was thus commem-
GRATED, is admittedly the most perfect
example of a Norman conventical
building in the kingdom. 1t is true
to it's type-a sturdy bulldog of
building. Doubtless that is why it
has lasted out the centuries so Won
| derfully.
Mr.. Parker when appealed to as to
the possibility of successful historical
pageants in America replied:
| my knowledge Of American his
tory is limited, but should say that
towns in America with histories suit
ed to reproduction in the form Of
pageants are rare. But there are a
few of them that would lend them
selves to such purpose admirably.
Plymouth, Mass, for Nuisance, would
be an ideal place for such a show l
could imagine none better in America.
According to my ideas, speaking off,
hand, an historic pageant there should
be worked out something like this:
The first tableau should depict a
! scene in the English town from
whence it takes it's name. Successive
tableaux should represent the landing
of the Pilgrim fathers, the early trials
OF the settlers and their struggles
with the Indians, the split with the
mother land, and SO on through the
independent history of the country
Salem, Mass, is another town that
affords abundant material for an his
toric pageant, the witch incident, es.
pecially, being we'll adapted to dra'
matte representation. Boston is an.
other city that has the necessary his
tory, but fine city though it is, from
what have seen of it I should say its
people are too busy to bother about
pageants. The same is true of New
York. It's population is too cosmo
politan and too much absorbed in
trade and commerce to enter with en-
thusiasm into the preparation of an
historic pageant. There are many
people there who know nothing and
care nothing about the history of the
CITY,"
But the towns in America whose
history goes back far enough to at
ford good material for the presenta
ton of pageants in them are by nc
means so limited as Mr.. Parker ap
pears to think. ~ Anybody familiar
with American history could, easily
specify dozen or more that would
well answer the purpose.

His Long Career One Of Unsparin0
Ferocjtv and aloodshed.

The latest important assassination
in Russia removes one of the most
striking and characteristic figures in
the modern history of that empire.
The world whom the man has COM
monty known as Colonel Alikhanoff
and has regarded as a Russian was in
reality a descendant of the ancient
and now almost extinct Avars, and
was properly known, before his name
Russianized, as Ali Khan. Nearly all
his life was devoted to the Russian
service, chiefly in the conquest and
annexation of Central Asia and the
futile advance upon British India, and
there was probably no other man who
achieved more in that than he.
1t was Ali Kahn, the absolutely
ruthless and unsparing, who swept
through Turkestan with fire and
sword at the heels of Kaufman and
Skobeleff, to Khiva, to JMerv, to Sa-
marcand and then, by the side of
Komaroff, to Penjdeh, subduing the
0arik TuTcomans and threatening

finds that nature has insisted upon i'm
posing more flesh over his skeleton

When that happens many of the best
American jockeys go to the tracks of
foreign lands, where the weight i'm
posts are heavier. They usually find
little trouble in obtaining employment.
A number of them are abroad this
year. There is Danny" Maher, for
instance, in England. He is one of the
best American jockeys who ever left
his native land to ride for foreign
stables He has been phenomenally
successful in England-so much so
that the richest owners are eager to
obtain him. He is riding his second
season for Lord Derby. Maher is the
only jockey now riding who has won
three English derbies. OF itself that is
feat of sufficient importance to estab-
lish his reputation in the turf world
It is estimated that he will earn $780,
