Mr Parker bas selected from the history of Warwick twelve of the most impressive episodes, Rome of which are also Thus, there will of national importance. be a stage battle between Britons and Romans, and King Alfred's daughter will be represented laying the foundation of Warwick Castle, several hundred years later. Earl Simon de Montfort, champion of popular liberty, and pioneer of parlia ments, will figure prominently as befits his position in English history; the trial of Piers Galveston, the favourite of Edward II., will furnish a grimly, dramatic episode, and the "Kingasker's" quarrel with Edit ward IV, and his capture of the lattor will be dosoribed in Shakespeare's language. Five hundred people will take part in a magnificent representation of Queen Eliza. beth's atste entry into Warwick, and altogether there will be nearly fifteen hundred performers, Mr James Rhoadon, the wellknown poet, has written some b beautiful verse for the pageant.
