enameled black, having St. George on one side and on the other the words "Pro Patria et Imperatore" in old Slay. The ribbon is dark green, with a narrow. scarlet edge, and the de coration is always attached to the hilt of the sword. Although it does not confer any rank of noblesse on the recipient, it takes precedence of nobles at official receptions, and, as a matter of etiquette, a soldier bearing his St. George wears no other decorations, that honor alone being considered superior to all others combined. It is the only Russian Order which has its college, chapel and special uniform, the latter being exceedingly beautiful. The cap is of scarlet velvet with a fur border and having St. George embroidered in gold on the crown. Over a white Batia vest, with gold pea-buttons, la a scarlet jacket with white velvet facings, richly embroidered in gold, with extra false sleeves hanging" "tröm the shoulders, trimmed with sable. Skin-tight trousers of white cloth, with patent-leather riding boots and immense gold spurs, complete the uni- form, which in winter is hidden by a huge black martial cloak, with no other distinctive mark than a small image of the patron saint on the left breast. The sword is a regulation one, but each officer has his special banner.

The cross is of guld, avoided speaking his lines as if he had been reading a chapter from Josephus) his Dr. Fleming would have proved far more effective, A great many amateurs imagine they are speaking their lines naturally and as they should be spoken according to the intention of the author, by repeating them like a schoolboy at his lessons. Mr. Strong has this fault to a pronounced degree. In one Instance the other evening he left out a word in one of his sentences, and then discovering the omission actually repeat- ed the sentence-which, of course, had a most ludicrous effect. Mr. Strong's idea of the part was intelligent enough, and he certainly worked hard. | if he did not quite achieve success his laudable exertions deserved to attain that desirable result. Mr. Fossil displayed a fund of quiet humour as the servant Edwards, and is entitled to very high praise for doing so much with such an insignificant part. Miss Violet Moore made a very favorable début as Lilian Gaythorne, acting throughout with grace and intelligence, A rather pronounced American accent was somewhat conspicuous in the first act, but this slight drawback disappeared almost entirely after the young actress got on terms with her audience. Mrs. Wilnot who appeared as Helen Gaythorne can fairly claim to share the honors of the evening with Mr. Tehelmi. This lady acted with a keen appreciation of the charac- ter she was supposed to represent, and with a'naturaincas which it takes most ama- tears years of incessant practice to acquire.

with Fanshawe at the close of the second act, Mrs. Wilnot displayed great power and true dramatic instinct, eliciting loud applause from all parts of the house, Theatrical Society Is to be complimented on possessing such a genuine artiste as the lady who plays under the name of Mrs. Wilnot. Mrs. Jack is the name given on the programme to the impersonator of
Gunn-poor Mrs. Raymond's original cre Moir. Mrs. Jack unless we are mistaken should have read Afonsieur Jacques. This character, which ought to have been one of the strongest in the piece, was so fecbic that in some paris its weaknesses jeopardised the success of the representation. The gentleman who undertook the role is
foreigner whose knowledge of Eng lish is not quite perfect. Ia burlesque he would have been admirable, in comedy he was entirely out of place. Of course we are quite well aware that he did his utmost, and it is true that his antics caused a vast deal of amusement; but nevertheless it was a pity the Society could not obtain the services of a lady, or failing that, the assistance of a gentleman of juvenile ap- pearance conversant with our mother tongue.
Taken altogether the representation was a very. creditable one, and was apparently tho- roughly appreciated by the large audience. The performers were honored with several calls be- fore the curtain, the ladies being literally burdened with floral tributes. The theatre, which is a very handsome little house, was artistically decorated with a beautiful collection of azaleas, ferns and other rare flowers, which had a most pleasing effect from the front. The mite-en-There are only two Grand Cordons of the Order scène was everything that could be desired, and the scenery, painted by our worthy local artist Mr. M.

The chapel of the Order is within the grounds of the winter Palace, and here, once in each year, all the Knights meet. In front of the ciconostasion" is a large marble pillar, upon which are the names of the departed Knights, while the living ones have each a niche in the wall where their swords and distinctive banners hang. The Knights meet at their college the palace, where a report is read of the con- dition of the brotherhood and new menibers are introduced, while these of the Order who have died or been killed during the year are lamented. The procession then forms and proceeds to the chapel, where a "Te Deum" la sung and the new officers are knighted, draw their swords, which they hold points down. after which all present form into a circle and
wards. In the centre of the circle is a small altar, upon which is a golden basin filled with water and in front of this stands the Chaplain of the Order, who proceeds to read that part of the orthodox Greek service referring to the bless- ing of the waters. This being done, he advances to each Knight, commencing with the Emperor, and sprinkles him and his sword with holy water sayingtothe Czar. "May Christ granttheestrength to defend thy faith, thy country and thy people." and to the other Knights, May Chriat grant thee strength to defend thy faith, thy coun try and thine Emperor, "each man saying "Amen." The procession forms again and re- turns to the college, where the roll is signed and the Knights, at the invitation_of_the_Czar, follow him to one of the drawing-rooms, where the Knights smoke, talk and throw off all reserve, treating the Emperor as their equal, the liberty being tolerated by the monarch.
Every man in the Russian army has a chance of earning the decoration, be he a privat soldier or a General, and it has been customary for many years for the Crars to have on their immediate right and left at the banquet which follows pri vates who have earned the Cross of St. George.

THE RUSSIAN ORDER OF ST. GEORGE.
By all Christian nations the valiant St. George Is held in high esteem, but in Russia the soldier saint occupies a still higher position, being the chief patron saint of the empire; and the manner in which the natives venerate his memory knows no bounds. In the centre of the double eagle, which is the symbol of “All the Russias," is the golden shield of St. George, covering the whole of the bird's bodySt George slaying-the- dragon surmounts the imperial crown and figures on the national flag above the vene trance of every public building, keeps com pany with St. Nicholas in almost every room of Russian
