Dr. Reiulel Harris, who is pressing his campaign for establishing a democratic fee-free Mayflower University on the site of th» ancient citadel uf. Plymouth, read a commemorative play-he calls it an historic interlude—which he has written, before an enthusiastic audience at Fairhaven. In the "Interlude" historic personages from the Pilgrim Pal hers, Cromwell. Lincoln, and President 'AVilson appear and deliver characteristic speeches. Dr. Harris is anxious thai the Mayflower celebrations next year should be profoundly religious, as befits a drama of divine' guidance of the nations. St. Sennn's bell, which is said by tradition to have fallen from heaven at the feet of tho saint, was sold at Christie's for' 125 guineas. The purchaser—a Dublin antiquarian—is.presenting it to the Royal Irish Academy as a national relic.
