Friday, one must bear in mind is the hiohammedan Sunday, and an eventful day. Tihe court sur- rounding the arena in which this weird and uncanny performance takes place holds about 500 persons, and it was filled with all sorts and conditions of people. Americans and English, the predominating element. Soon after we entered the court the whirlers made their appearance, dressed in short white skirts and on their heads the funniest looking chimney pot: hats. After marching around and arou d for struments, they began to whirl, and they whirled until it seemed to us to whom the sight was new that we must cry out to them to 08856. The sight was positively maddening. After fif-; teen minutes of constant W‘hzirlingi they dropped to the ground from sheer exhaustion, apparently. It appears, however, that this part of the pro- gramme is for effect entirely. Paris, spoke good French, and who in- terested us very much. He it was who iwas to perform the ceremony.

It was a weird performance.‘ Through it all they showed us, the only Europeans present, great re- spect, and in good English said they hoped we had had a pleasant time and parently, and we certainly enjoyed the novelty of our position. In their sim- ‘ ple way they showed us great hospi- tality. The approach of the bride was (heralded by a most conglomerate lot of howling women and children, play- ing tomtoms, tambourines and native instruments anything but musical. We arose to resign; our seats of honor in favor of the bride and her attendants, but she insisted that we two remain on» either side of her, while she occuâ€" lpied the middle seat just vacated by one of the party, and so we sat through all the howling and banging, the push- ing and jostling of these halfâ€"civilized creatures. After every one had seen the bride an enormous woman laden With jewelery and golden chains be- gan to howl and hammer on a tam- bourine, then l At 8 o’clock in the morning our Ara- gonfian, who, by the way, is a fascin- " ating and picturesque fellow, well 3 supplied ”with letters of recommenda- ‘ tion from many famous people, met us at the door of our hotel with three enormous bouquets. Arriving at a very narrow street, we proceeded a short distance on foot under red rags, striped awnings, and lanterns which i were stretched over our heads the ’ length of the street. The round was sprinkled with. sand, and along the .. sides of the houses were seats provid- 3 ed for the men, as none‘ of the sterner sex were allowed in the room or house of the bride. \Ve, the women mount- 1‘ 3 ) P 5 1 some Grecian and Turkish women.
