There was a dramatic incident, seen by 25,000 people in London, whon High Mass was celebrated on the Stamford Bridge Football Ground, to open the fourth Anglo- Catholic Congress last month.
The bishops in their mitres and golden vestments, the foreign dignitaries in their purple and crimson robes, the" black birettas, the rows of red and black cassocka of the priests taking part, the groups of uniformed schoolchild- rep, bandsmon, and closeshorn mis- sion fathers, created an atmosphero which seemed strangely Continent.

There was a crash, and three of six gigantic candlesticks, before which the Bishop of Nassau, Dr. Roscow Shedden, the celebrant priest was carrying out the rites, were hurled across the dais with great force, wrecking the right hand side of the altar.
The metal cappings and cups of the candlestick-holders had been bent and twisted by the viclence of the fall. With the candles in them they stood 19 feet high, and might have severely injured any on. struck by them

It was not, how- ever, played again until 1879, when it had been a great success, in several foreign countries. Since then, of course, it has become one of the most popular operas in the repertory of the Opéra-Comique, and has been given on an average abont twice every three weeks. M. Paul Lherie, who was the original Don José, is still living at Mont- martre at the age of 87. He has long since retired from the stage, and was, until some years ago, a mofessor at the Conservatoire.

HOME CRICKET SCORES.
RAIN INTERFERES WITH MATCHES.
GLAMORGAN TAKE FULL POINTS FROM WORCESTER.
{THROUGH REUTER'S AGENCY;]
LONDON, July 29.
Rain interfered with cricket matches all over the country. At Sheffield, no play was possible for two days after Yorkshire had closed their innings on Saturday for 103 runs. The points were shared with Warwick. Somerset and Sussex had to remain idle on Tuesday.
་
Only three centuries were scored by batsmen in all the matches. The wicket was in favour of the bowlers, who returned some fine averages. Two of Glamorgan's bowlers were in good form, taking 20 wickets between them. Mercer's ten wickets "cost 67 runs, - while 39 runs were scored off Ryan. Worcester lost all the points against this attack.

AIRSHIP MARVELS OF THE FUTURE.

These are the bates, upon which Rear Admiral William A. Moffett, chief of the Bürenu of Aeronautics of the US Navy, sketched the futare of the super airships to fol- low the Graf Zeppelin, in an inter- view.
The flight of the Graf Zeppelin in its meteoric round-the-world cruise and its more recent South American trip demonstrates the forced effort of which this type of airship is capable. But the steady, regular efficient programme of the Los Angeles (sister ship of the Graf Zeppelin) indicates the practicabi lity of super-Zeppelins in commer- cial traffic.
At the present time," the Ad- miral said, "the United States is building two super-dirigibles, one of which is expected to be "com- pleted this time next year. How- ever, the most efficient type of air- ship is not the present Graf model nor even the American model now building, even though it is con sidered extreme. The ZRS 4 and the ZES 8 will be of approximately 6,800,000 cubic feet each. Length will be about 300 feet..

"Great Britain is now construct- ing a rigid "type of airship even. larger in its displacement than either of ours. The most satisfac- tory type of dirigible will eventually be of 10,000,000 cubic feet, and 1,000

speed and security of which no ocean liner could ever equal.
An air liner of the size of the liner Majestic needs a crew of ap- proximately one-tenth of the Majes- tic's personnel. An air lizer can come into port and can float out again within four or five hours at the most, while every ocean liner requires at least two days in port adequately to replenish fuel and supplies. I am convinced that the invention of the Zeppelin' means as much for aerial navigation as did the invention of Robert Fulton for steam navigation."
