PICTURESQUE SCENES IN
BAYONNE.
A VISITOR'S IMPRESSIONS.
The Basque and English Folk dance festival has (says Violet Alford, writing from Bayonne, France, to the London "Daily News"), been an unqualified sue- CeRs. It began with the ball to which come annually the elite of Biarritz, Bayoune, and even Bor deaux and Pau.
But although the ball-organised by the Musee Basque-in a yearly affair, never, before has such enter- tainment been provided.
The company of Spanish Basques opened a really brilliant perform- ance
with their dance of honour, Aurresku, done throughout the pro- vinces in honour of a notable visi- tor or before the municipality. A Basque choir in costume Aang un- accompanied folk songs in parts, attacking with a vigour and singing with a lellency and disciplined freshness which were a pleasure to hear.

The Hobby Horses were a fenture of the performance. Our heavy- built creature swayed about, and the lithe, snake-like Soule hersel showed us what dancing really can be in spite of trappings.
Satanic Dances.
La Danse des Satans is never to be forgotten-yet unfortunately its traditional tune is that common lit- le air, "Bon Voyage Monsieur Durmoilet.' The Basques prize it greatly, however, and consider it one of their best.
