⠀ THE SCENERY. The scenery of "Parsifal" at Bayreuth is full of breathless aurpees. There seems to be no achievement which Wagner was not ready to campel from his artifloses. Now and again the soonery, ital positively note, sud, aided by music, carries on the story. For many minutes the audience sits awad, while the procession 1 of this long and surefooted pilgrimage to the city of woods, mountains, and valleys tells them

On the ogession of his running the half for me he was only paced by Mr. Holding for the last 200 yards.

*He WAR very little distressed at the finish, and felt so fit in a bort space of time that he said he would ran a tired man's quarter, which he did in 53 3.5 sets. Then ho paced man twice for a hundred yards, and outdistanced him, although the dau covered the ground in 11 25 seat?
