Munro, whose great spurt in the last mile brought Bacon to a These successes of Fitzherbert and Munro were, perhaps, the most popular of the day. The grandest struggle of the afternoon was in the quarter. And it will be a long time before its spectators forget how. Fitzherbert, with his raking stride, beat Bredin, the champion, on the post. Bredin's half mile and .quarter mile preliminary, of course, told on 1dm, besides which he was shut in at starting by the South Africans and Butler. Fitzherbert, who had Improved on his University time of Wednesday, made his way from the path amid great applause, and Sir Richard Webster, th President, was the first to congratulate him. Another great piece of running was done by Bradley in the sprint, the final of which he won In even time. He started beautifully, and his victory for England against the Scottish champion. Downer, by a gopd yard and a half was excellently merited. There was much exciting racing n the preliminary of the hurdles, in which the university men gave a very good show, and Oak- ley was' second to Shaw In the final. Bacon ran a wonderful mile, and beat George's British irecord of 4 minutes 18 seconds, which had stood for eleven years. Bacon's ime was 4 minutes 17 seconds. Although the pace was made Lutyens, the champion very strong by one of his wonderful finished with professional record sprints.

The prefect 'of police, however. Inter-fered and obliged the singers to leave Off at midnight at the instance of the firemen, whoj. complained of the long hours. The censorship had also to be reckoned with, for it was thought that the cathedral scene would be objected to in Rome, Mgr. de Segur, however, attended the rehearsals and said that he found the cathedral scene superb. He also gave Mme. Miolan Carvalho a beautifully; bound mass book, which she was to use In the church, and she has the gift still. The first representation, as Mme. Miolan Carvalho reminds people, was not brilliant. Gounod was regarded as an Innovator,, and the house was divided Into two camps, one for and the other against the composer. Meyerbeer and Rossini were among the admirers of the new work, but the Maestro of Pesaro afterward said that he preferred ."
