TONDON (N.ANA) — Rochester, | @ncient Kentish city, with its Norman castle, its cathedral, its many fine old TTudor houses, and its Dickensian as- sociations, is to draw mttention to its beauties by a pageant, directed by Frank Lascelles, in which eight of the most stirring events in its history are to be represented. The ant begins on Monday and page: will last a week, and aiready the keep | of the castle, flood lighted. floats like a | fairy palace above the city. ! Camp of Roman Emperor. The pageant opens with the Roman Emperor Claudius establishing his camp on the present site of the city in D. 43. Five hundred years pass, and the next episode shows King Ethelbert of Kentl\'usmng the city with Justus, the first 'bishop of the diocese, and St. Augustine to decree the building of a church on the site now occupled by the cathedral, Then follow the dedication of the cathedral by Henry I, the garrison of the ~castle ~successfully resisting the | final attack of Simon de Montfort's army in 1264, Chaucer's arrival in Strood soon after the commencement | of work upon the new bridge projected | by Sir John de Cobham and Sir Robert Knciles in 1388, Queen Flizabeth's visit | to Richard Watts at Satls House in, 1573, and Charles II's departure from | Fni‘hl‘esllr on his journey to London n 1660. Incidents in Dickens' Life. Pinally Dickens. on the eve of his death in 1870, will recall in a reverie | incidents in his life and characters ! from his novels.

HISTORIC HORN IS SENT TO EXHIBITION IN PARIS Town Council Demands Guarantee of Return of Instrument Before Releasing It. BUDAPEST (N.AN.A).—The prime i minister had to guarantee the safe re- | turn of the famous Lehel horn before the Council of the town of Jaszbereny would lend the treasure to the Byzan-| tine Exhibition in Paris. The last time the horn left Jaszbereny was when it was brought tc the Hungarian corona- | ;l&n"ni the Emperor Francis Joseph, in | This beautiful carved horn belonged | to Lehel, the son of Tas. one of the| conquerors who entered Hungary with Arpad. With it, Lehel is said to have sounded the alarm for the battle and routed the Bulgarians under the lead- ership of Prince Zalan. At the bettle of Augsburg, in 955. tht Hungarians | were defeated. and their two leaders. Lehel and Bulesu, were captured and sent for execution. The legend says Lehel asked if he might sound his horn once more before his death. When it was given to him, he blew it and then cracked the skull of the Emperor's son-in-law, Conrad, with it, crying, “In the other world you shall be my servant!” A chip in the rim of the horn is supposed to have been caused by the blow, though history has it that Conrad d;‘ed in battle that day from an arrow shot. In 1893, Gyula Kaldy, the composer, | exploded the belief that the horn lost | gy, its voice with Lehel's death, for he succeeded in blowing an alarm on it.
