The Macao Tragedy.

This year some excellent scenes were staged. At Cardiff a pageant was presented depicting six epi- sodes in the history of the city. Cardiff Castle providing the back- ground, the stage, and the audi. torium. Six hundred students from the university took part. In the first scone the old castle became alive with Roman Legionaries and their auxiliaries, proclaiming CON- STANTINE as their new Emperor The second sceno dealt with the Danish period: The next three scenes presented mediaeval episodes and the pageant reached its climax with a stirring portrayal of the siege of the Castle during the Civil War.

green ceased to be a social centro where the lada and lasses danced folk dances and sang folk songs; more and more the masses of the people began to depend upon professional entertainers for their amusement instead of continuing their own traditional gaines, songs, and dances.

The complaint would seem to have been justified. Undoubtedly there has been a tendency for many years for people to be satisfied with the mere onlookers side of the gumo, This is, of course, niost commonly exemplified in the casc of professional football. But now a réaction has set in: Not only are more and more people of all classes demanding greater facilities for the playing of outdoor games of all kinds, but there is real enthusiasm for what might be term- ed more exalted-forms of amuse- ment and entertainment.

One sign of this is the growing interest in the drama. All over the country small groups of amateurs, recruited from all classes of people, in town and country, have formed drums groups In addition there are over-growing numbers of scientific, literary and reading circles. A feature of this quickened interest is that the young people who have been caught up in the various movements are im bued with a sense of untional wedi tion in these activities.

For two years the men and women who took part in the pageant were making preparations and rehearsing their parts, and they were a keen and enthusiastic on the day of the opening as when the scheme was launched. The Castle gardens provided a pictures- que setting, with the ancient Keep in the background, and the records of the city inspired episodes that linked events in the life of Rochester from the days of the carly Britons with modern times.
