the May-

May-pole daiiccs, and Jack-in-tlic-Grccn revels
of times gone by. Not that going-a-Mayirig is
quite out of fashion yet. There are cheery spirits
who still yczirlywclcoinc the return of the leaf,
and the coming of the pink, white, and crimson
blossoms, and celebrate the advent of Spring,
lizibitunlly tardy now-a-(lays, by Ii refreshing and
invigoratiiig saunter along fziiniliar green luncs,
where the lofty trees will meet overhead in
Suiiimcr-time, mid there is :1 soothing hush
grateful, indeed, to people whose lives are
spent as it rule in tho modding crowd of
London life. “Xe sadly iiccd. iuore garden
pleasures in the heart of the Metropolis. I fancy
that the l’rin<:c of “Wiles, iii tlirowiiig out the
admirable siiggcstioii that - every quarter of
London should have its 1’eoplo’s Palace, uftcr
the style of Sir Edmund llay Curric‘s growing
“ Fulaice of Dcliglit” in the Eu;-t-liutl, meant
that an ample Pleasure -Garden should be
zittaciicd to each, so that on Spring and Summer
cvcnings the young and old could enjoy their
Music in the open air in their London Volks-
gurteii, wlicrc liouic influences would be but
extended, and families comminglc in agreeable
and. licciltliful recreation. It is only necessary
to think of the incrcnsiug number of tragic
deaths in this overcrowded" city, and to reflect
on the causes of most of these lamentable
fatalities, to be convinced of the urgent demand of
more and more llccrcation Palaces and Gardens-

Lord Randolph Cliui-chill gave anothcr signal
proof that he is keenly alive to the wants of the
times and of this big city “'11 on he heartily encour-
ugccl the movement for a. fresh rccrcaiioii-ground
for Priddington. This new pleasure-park, covering
some twenty acres in Maids-vale, was opened
l.1stSn.tiir<l:iy by the Duke of Cambridge in his
hearty style. The beauty of it is tliutnot only
does the Paddingtnzi Recreation-ground offer
facilities for cricket, cycling, running, lawn-
teunis, and athletics. but this oasis in Molda-
valc was laid out by ii large number of mC1l who
would have been unemployed without this wnrk.
The big programme of sport carried out on the
opening day clearly proved what 1) boon this free
athletic-gi-ouiid is to the neighbourhood.

One of the most sadly dramatic stories London
has been furnished with for some time is that
which has bccn named “ The Leo Myslcry.”
The little river which winds through meadows to
the north-cost of London, and many ii time mid
oft tcmptul 17.5131: “'ziltoii to leave his goblcd
house in Fleet-strcct c: an angling jaunt, is 3
treacherous stream. A row on its waters is
leasant enough; but a capsize on the Lczi is
frcqiieiitly fatal. Not many hundred yards from
the banks of the river, and close to the L01!
Bridge Railway Station of the Great Ezistorii
line, are situated the Greyhound pleasure-
gurdens. Attached to the G1-eyliouiid tavern
are the fairlyextensivc grounds, with the large
dancing - platform in the centre, and the
usual shrubs and trees, arbours, and rcIrcsli-
merit bars around. here is zi spiiglitly l’)1lll(l
iii the orchestra. The active M.C.,iiiti‘o(l1iccd
into the Illustrntioii of the Greyhound GILl‘(l(:llS,
seems to have the visitors well under control.
It was in these gardens, on Saturday cvcnin,-:,
Apritl Zlt, that the victim of .‘t‘IT‘l‘lC Lon MystL‘1'tyl' ”
was irs SCel1lllC(m1p1lllyWl I aymiiig gen 0-
mun,” thought to be about ciglitccn or twi-my
years of ago. Mr. lVilllaiu Gill, niziiizigcr of
the adjoining Carmcifs Rest C0ll'L'c-liousc,
says he saw “him (huicing with the (lccc-ascd
until about nine o’clock.” At n qiizirtcr-pa.-t
nine, Gill observed that the poor girl had
fainted, and by direction of his mistress czirricil
lier into the coffee-liousc, wlicru slie revived in
:1 quzirtcr of an hour, “ evidently ]i;ivin,r: tulicii
brandy and snuff,” as the witness added. lio-
monstratcd with for not iittciicling to his
faint compziniou, the young mzin replied, “I
knownotliiiig about her.” But he zippczirs to
have dniiccd with her again subsequently, wlicn
she again fainted, and her pzirtncrmii iuvziy. Gill
went on to say that when the lamps were being put
out at tho Dzniciug Gardens, the girl walked out’
of the grounds, and entered the public-liousc, in
ll.l1llll30XlC8.l.C(l condition, with two yoiuig men,
in company with whom she afterwards wailkcd
up the road. Ncurlyxi wcok clapsi-rl before the
friends of Iilizribcth Ami Smitlis-for that was tlic
young,’ woman's uumo--lczirut that her (lead hotly
had been found in B. backwater of the llivcr
Lea. Tlic circuinstzniccs of tlic (lis('ov(‘1‘y are
described on another pugs, where it is nlso stated
that two men, imuicd George Autlioiiy and
Charles Coutor, are under rcmaiid on the fearful
charge of complicity in the murder of the
deceased. It is altogether (I touching tale
of l‘CIll life. Elizabeth Smith, aged twenty-
five, was 9. mzicliiiiist, rosidiiig at 33, llcms-
wortli-rond, Iloxton, her father bring 11
rcspcctublc builder; and she was eiigiigcd
to ti young czirpciitcr, named Steel, who luirl
not SCCII her on the fatal Saturday night. It at

what it may, it hcliovcs the young man who

evidence as he can with a view to elucidate this

The Leaders of London Society will, it is
to be sincerely hoped, exert tlicuisclvcs to
support the lloyul Italian Opcm season of
Mr. Augustus Harris zit Coveiit-Garden in no
lialf-hearted fashion. Acknowledged mu-tcr of
the dlflicult art of mi'sn-an-scivw, Mr. Harris will
mount the frivouritc operas with ii pcrfcction mid
grziiidciir which will certainly enhziiicc their
attractiveness to the lllll$l.Cl1l. >ublic gcncrnlly.
But the swells will not only liare to subscribe
liberally for boxes and stalls, but promptly [my
for tlmm, if Mr. Harris is to find his couiugcous
and costly cntcrpiisc remuucrntivc.
I I‘ ' I I G
Mr. Augustus Harris opens his Royal Italian
Opera sciison at Covcnt-Garden on Monday night,
May 11; and will judiciously rely upon the
lyric dramas which are bcyond doubt most
popular, such us “ Carmen ” and “ I".iiu;-t,” “ Lu
’I‘rm1'nt.'i ” mid “ Loliongrin,” “ Don Giovanni”
and “ll Trovatoi'c." Signor Munciuclli and
Signor RIllldl‘2gCl' will be the Conductors; and
the colossal lioynl Italian Opera Company will
comprise the Queen's fuvourito songstrcs.
