stealing, although nothing was ever 
proven. 
The pictures of Mexico City and 
of the cathedrals of the towns were 
good examples of architecture, the 
cathedrals being picturesque and of 
a romantic history in many cases. 
The peasants at the Christmas devo- 
tions were interesting and Mr. Wil- 
bor showed a picture of a chief of 
police in one of the small villages 
at one of the religious celebrations. 
This man invariably became intoxi- 
cated on all the holidays, but, never- 
theless, always insisted upon leading 
all the processions, whether eccles- 
iastical or political, at such times. 
One striking photograph showed a 
large gathering of the peasants who 
were worshipping the infant Christ. 
Owing to the hot rays of the sun, and 
according to the custom of the coun- 
try, the men had simply tipped their 
hats so that the brims rested upon 
one shoulder instead of removing 
them completely. The sun had been 
thought too hot for the image of 
the Child, and two of the men had 
given up their blankets to shield it 
from the heat. The speaker said 
that the blankets would be consid- 
ered holy thereafter, but that, with 
the inconsistency of the race, the 
owners would be obliged to keep 4 
sharp lookout lest they be stolen. 
The lecture was something new 
in the line of illustrated lectures and 
the large attendance enjoyed Mr. 
Wilbor’s account of the Mexican life 
and of the simple people of the 
peasant class to the fullest extent. 
‘Lilac Domino’’ Opera Co. 
‘““The Lilac Domino,’’ which 
charmed all New York for five solid 
months, and which is now playing 
to immense crowds nightly at the 
Majestic Theatre, Boston, promises 
to be one of the brilliant society 
events of the theatrical season, as 
the demand for boxes and reserva- 
tions for theatre-parties exceeds that 
of any other attraction in months. 
The production is one of the most 
complete and elaborate ever at- 
tempted of any light opera. More- 
over, it is produced on a scale of 
grand opera magnificence, with at 
least six noted grand opera singers 
in the leading roles. It has fun and 
melody in equal proportions, and is 
an operetta which no lover of music 
ean afford to miss. The company 
numbers nearly one hundred, includ- 
ing a chorus of fifty beautiful young 
girls who can sing and a symphony 
orchestra of thirty pieces.
