In this cynical, vulgar home of the world's most democratic art there exists the Hollywood Bowl, where muid can be heard under conditions which, I believe, inust be quite unparalleled. The fact that Sir Henry Wood has seen it worth while to cone all the way of California to con- duct four concerts in the Bowl and then to go home again without doing any thing else in America may make one realise the musical attraction of this in-
stitution.
The Hollywood Bow! itself is a naturhl canyon, sheltered on all sides by hills and use in the more unsettled days of American history as a resting place and tefuge by settlers and Indians and out- Jaws. The Christian communities in Los Angeles first vonlised the possibilities. of the Bowl as a gathering-place, and since the war immense Easter services have been held in the canyon. From this came the idea that rough wooden benches might be built around the canyon to fill its entire depth, and that the vast out- door auditorium thus obtained might be used on summer nights for popular audiences who wished to hear orchestral music.
years the country will be without n single hostelry.
Ever since the Act of 1904, which pro vided compensation for licences taken away, came into force, the average de crease in licensed premises (excepting off-licences) has been at the rate of 951 per year.
J
At the beginning of this year there were only "80,401 "on-licences left, so if the rate of extinction continues, an other 83 years will wipe out every "on" licence in the land.
Baek in 1800 there was an inn forʼevery 207 people in England, but to-day each remaining hostelry serves a quota of 55 population.
OFF-LICENCE POPULAR.
That the modern tendency is for alcoholic liquor to be consumed at home rather than in the tavern is suggested by the significant fact that though the inn is slowly fading out, the increasing in popularity.

There was once a steady decrease in "off-licences." But since 1923 the tide has turned, and a small increase is now reported Clubs, too, are on the increase, Since 1904 over 5,000 licensed clubs have been added to the register.
Strangest of all is the fact that, simult aneously with the decline of the inn and the increase in the off-licence" and the club, is reported not a decline, as might be expected, but an iperense, in drunk- enness.
"I saw the Bowl on the night of the first concert of this summer season. The crowd on that summer night I can best describe by saying that it resembled in size though in no other quality the crowd at a Football Cup final.

On that Grat night Fritz Reiner was the conductor, and that audience of twenty thousand people was held in absolute silence while his orchestra played such pieces as Richard Strauss's Don Juan, the Hungarian Rhapsody No. 9 of Liset, and Tschaikovsky's Sym- pphony No. 5 in the E. minor. "It was after Lista's Rhapsody that a German lady who sat near me, a recent immigrant one would hagine, made guttural noises of joy and said, Ah, but isn't it won- derful? I had, not expected this.

Although Mr. Migeod was not at all "out" for thrills and writes rather
drily, nevertheless it was inevitable that he should experience and hear of curious incidents. Here is a strange story of an elephant's devotion.
