Qwingt however, to some unavoidable delays, the tilting did not begin until 1 o'clock. Soon after the Marshal of the Tournament, ' Maj. Hf .P.

" ' But I must now turn to those scenes which were at ones the mother and the off spring of chivalry. To those days when the martial hosts of Europe, were gathered tegetber by the eloquence of Peter the Her nutt and marched en their pilgrimage to Palestine to rescue from desecration the tomb of their Saviour. It was from- this proline source that Scott drew1 inspiration when, he gave to the world bis imperishable production of Ivanhoe, in which he por trays tn colors of llvirig beauty the idegrad ed condition of the Derseeuted but avari cious Jewf'the' stately dignityv unflinching forTttnde ana unmnscious ; Maury oi tne hapless .Jewish Vxnaid; the noble hearing; fearless courage and lofty deeds of the valv iant knight; the servfleand shameless syc ophancy of the5-royal John; and in ,bne barmonious 'whole, blends the glories of that renowned institutaon which checked the pretensions and -curbed the tyrannies Of the feudal Baron.'' Is there no lesson taught by the frequent pilgrimages of ' Cur remote ancestors to the holy city of Jerusa lem;! vTJnited as they tfere by, the ties of a common cause,'a common , fate' and a common religion, With a chivalric ardor which, even the' most 'decimating famine could not abate, they advanced steadily to the pates of the treat citv. its inhzhtv walls yielded to their resistless force and un- aauniea wiu, ana me iew survivors oi ui gallant band shiging anthems of praise ' to the Gold who w&,mem victory, though, bearing aloft that holy lance which , the, blindness of superstition had consecrated to the service of God and their hqly hifSsion,; worshipped as the supreme cause of 'their. deliverance', they ascended with jslow; and solemn step the holy mount of Calvary, and with hearts subdued and eyes suffused with tears of joy and penitence, kissed the" tomb of the Redeemer of the World, , That same spirit which prompted this holy jxnisBiennonoT,"aiid"nightofvanhoe kindled the flame which lashed the nations of Europe from shore to shore; -swept away like a simoon every vestige Of tyranny and- despotism, loosened the shackles of thefcpvj pressed yeomanry ox isngiana, wrencnea from the unwilling hands of the despotic John the Great Charter of English liberties. and shaped the destinies of the social, the, moral ana political wona.
