Will the right to a ticket be a token of office, or of rank, or of education, or of wealth;

or must it, like poetic frenzy, be a natural gift? And which is a rather impor lant point if a ticket be received and cannot be used owing to illness, indifference, or pre- vious engagement, is it transferable or negati able:
