The offiee of the MOrNING STAR AND CATHOLIC MssE6GExn has been removed to the second door of the building at the south east corner of Poydras and Camp streets; the entrance being at 116 Poydras street. The members of the Associations whlch have heretofore met in the Hall above the offece at 124 Carondelet street, are informed that their meetings will, in future, beheld in the large Hall above our new office. Ftn.az or ors MAn. ron MemLe.-With regret we learned last Tuesday that our mall, sent on the Saturday evening train and due in Mobile Sunday morning, had failed of delivery. As the bags containing it were properly la belled and sent to the train in ampl time thus relieving surselves and our poet office oelals of all blame, we can only aeecont for the tail ure by supposing that the route agent carried them on to Montgomery. iMr. C. N. Fennell, late of Pensaoola, Fla., is ear duly authorlsed agent at Chattanobga, Tena. Rzr'cnxsn.-Among the most distinguished and most welome arrivals that -we have no ticed, are those of the Rev. Father Smith of St. Joseph's parish, and the Rev. Father Kenny of St. Theresa'. We congrntulate onr riends of both congregations on the safe return of their beloved pasters. CATaoLIC MITArrT Umox.--The blessing of the new banner belonging to the Section of St. Mary, Fourth District, which was to have taken place last Sunday, was postponed till to-day on account of the rain- A general in vitation having been extended to all members of the Union, it is to be hoped that there will be a large crowd present. For particulars ace advertisement. SPIRITUAL Sutcca.-With the greatest sat isfaction we have heard of the departure of Rev. Father Dufan, 8. J., and Rev. Father Foree, assistant priest of the Cathedral, for Shreveport. Being both thoroughly acclima mated, we can see them go with confidence of their return, and though Shreveport is not in this diocese, the imlaunity of our local clergy from yellow fever gives them peculiar fitness for that mission. CONVENT OF TIlE VISITATION o, MounlI..-It seems that a rumor had made some progress to the effect that the yellow fever had invaded this popular educational establishment. We have seen a letter from Sister Stauielaus, of that house, emphatically contradicting the re port and going on to say that there has narcr been a case of that disease among them. This is gratifying Intelligence to those parent in our midst who patronize the Convent of the Visitation, and who may have felt some un easiness on the subject. FAIR FOR St. VINCENT'S HoMa.-At a joint meeting of the Board of Directors and the Committee of Conferences, it was agreed to postpone the fair until January next, two of the members present very liberally agreeing to advance the money to pay for the support of the boys till that time. A Committee to contract with Mr. Gronewald, for his new Hall on Baronne street, has, we learn, suonred it for Saturday, the 10th of January 1874, and the following days. We also learn than one of Grunewald's best pianos will be offered as a prize by one of the offieers of St. Joseph's Con ference. The Committee will meet tbis even ing at the usual time and place. The latest telegrams from Shreveport, Octo ber 3d, report an increase of intermeats, mostly of old cases of fever. The deaths were nine teen, to twelve the day before. The fifth and last Cathollo priest, name not given, is now down with the fever. Most of the new cuases are of a milder type. There is no improve ment in buslness and very little in the feelings of the people. The sufferings of the poor are Ieyond desceription.

Several very hiadsome tributes to their memory - ave allen under our notle in glanueing over the coluemaso our ezebsiges, but we cannot Afd bpse in our present issue to a Insert them. We shall take grat pleasure in doing es hereafter. The oties referred toare in secular pa pens and are all the more gratifying as showing that heroism always finds admirers even in the ranks of those who are in many respects opposed to its possessors. In a few short weeks four faithful priests are eiled from a life of activity to the cold repose of the grave. Two of these were vorunteers, men whose usual duties would have retained them in other scenes and in places of security. If two had fallen be fore them, why should not they also fall before the destroyer I All were alike un acclimated so far as concerned the fearful pestilence. But they who were at their poet of duty fell without dreaming of a retreat, and they who saw their fall from afar rushed forward to supply the want which they knew was so urgent. These good men were heroes in the best sense of the word. They were not fighting in the field of glory. There was none of the enthusiasm of mighty war. There were no spectators to applaud, no com rades to cheer on, no promotion to be won, no worldly recompense to attain. Their contest was with an unseen foe, silent and deadly. No ear could catch the sound ol his coming footstep. They met him on the field of gloom and desolation, their frames wearied with watching and their hearts de pressed with the shadows of death. Why should they go there, and being there why Sshould they not flee away T Those distinguished physicians and de voted nurses who sacrifice their time and their comfort so completely to the aiding of the unfortunates, deserve the most glow ing admiration of every human heart, but I at least their lives are not in peril. They walk about the Soeld of battle in the im pregnable armor of exemption from disease. They are acclimated. But these good priests had no such exemption, no such ar a mor. Yet they could not see Christian mien dying and no Christian consolation at hand for them,-dying, with the feeble call for a priest on their lips or in their anxionus eye, and no priest to bend over them and take the burden from their hearts. No. Their faith was not of that kind. In the face of almost certain death, amid the hottest breathings of the pestilence, they went wherever duty called them, un til they fell-faithful unto death. We all I honor the martyrs. Would men who face - such a pestilence at the call of duty, quail I under the sword or hesitate at the stake I r Let us hope that these good fathers enjoy s the same crown as those holy men who in ' all ages of the Church have shed theo blood for the faith. f Death of a Dmiatisa an. S BSister Mary Thomas died at the Dominican U Convent, in Greenville, at 7 o'clock Mondas " morning, Sept. 29th. In the world Sister ° Mary Thomas was Miss Elizabeth Cecilii Egan, daughter of our fellow citizen, Mr. Thos Egan, of St. Joseph's parish. She made hei profession on the 2nd of March last, before she t. had attained the age of nineteen, sears. Or ,f the day immediately preceding this event she ,r was taken sick, but carefully concealed hel ,r condition lest a postponement of the act o. s. profession might be insisted upon. Day after f day her illness grew worse, but she courage n ously combatted the malady and continued her labors as teacher, till her wasted frame ,a and a backing cough revealed what her tongue had refused to tell, that a galloping consump tion was rapidly eating away her young life. It The attending physician at sight pronounced o the awfully prophetic words that her case was d incurable-God had put His hand on the pa e tient -and God has borne her away! Death f has culled a Dominican lily; and the lily is a queen amid the blooms of the eternal hills r Amid her school companions, Sister Mary s Thomas was looked up to as the type of every a virtue, the model of every manner of excel 0 lence which adorns the character of woman. I- She died as she had lived-the angel of the school. A solemn requiem Mass was celebrated at the Convent and alsoe in St. John's Church, in the city, for the repose of Sister Mary Thomas' soul on the day following her death. Her body was interred in Greenville. May she rest in peace. AIa znts.-The sad intelligence of the death of Rev. T. Schneider, C. 88. R., was heard in Algiers with profonnd sorrow: During the mission of last May, so ably and eanceesfully conducted by him and F. Neithart, he gained the love and esteem of all by his gentle man ner, his burning eloquence, his uniform kind. neas, and his great sancetity. On luast Sunday, 2dth Sept., it was announeed from the pulpit that, on the following Wednesday, speciall prayers would be said for the deeeased father. The people testified their love and affeetion for the holy missionary by coming in great num bers to assist at the holy sascrifiee of the Mass at which many received the holy Communion. Next Sunday the Total Abstinence Societies of this city will celebrate the anniversary of Father Matthew by a general commnunion at St. Alphonans church at 7i o'clock, and by at tending a lecture, to be given by Father Ab bot, C. M. at St. Patrick's church, in the eve. ning. The public are invited to attend.

After that ; what is the use of a man's maklng a blaukguari of himself t Here is a deeent looknag Italian man with a respectable soap faetory, in a Northern 8tate of this glorious Uni6n, who eatehes the spirit of liberty at some ward electio, sacrificees his factory and devotes his life to patriotism. His sacri fee is complete. He not only sells the factory but he declares war against the soap. Your genuine red shirt is supposed never to be washed. But never mind. Garry gets to be the champion patriot. Wherever there is a rumpus, Garry is there with the shirts, as daring and Invincible a set of desperadoes as ever Jack Falstaff commanded. A mo dest lot of cut-throats too, willing for hon est men to take precedence of them when ever there is in the air a smell, as it were, of saltpeter, but perfectly irrepressible when priests are to be fought or monas teries plundered. There,-amid the smoke and the din of glorious war, see the surging tide of heroic Garibaldians crimeoned all over with-red flannel l For a long time the old ladies of Thread needle street (or some other place in the bee-hive of London) worshipped Garibaldi. He was their 'Ero. He was going to 'aul down the old 'arlot. But some how or other, as time rolled around, things didn't seem to work satisfactorily. The old ladies either smelled a mice, or somebody hinted to them that they were sold, at any rate, whether for this, or because Garry wouldn't make his men wash their faces or, for some other cause, they weakened on him. Then the Italians shot him in the fool and put him on the retired list of pa triots. After that Gambetta gave him a showing, pretty much as you invite a quasc doctor to a funeral, on the ground that it i too late for him to do any harm. 8 till he managed to desecrate the funeral obsequies Now he has tried to galvanize his worn out reputation into life at the expense of a Republic which does not choose to considel itself so nearly defunct as Gambetta's was, At any rate, if the Spanish Republic must die, it wants to die game, net Garibaldian, Dedieation of St. rHry's school. The dedication of St. Henry's new school house took place last Sunday evening at : o'clock. Although the weather was very ua. favorable, quite a large gathering, chiefly C. tholie Germans of the Sixth District, had mel to witness the ceremonies of the day. At 5 o'oleok precisely a procession composed of the school children of St. Henry's perish, of the ladies of the Altar Society, of the members of St. Henry's Benevolent Society for men and ol the Section of the Militant Union of the Croes,'followed by Rev. Fathers Abbott, C. U., and J. Bogaerts, pastes of St. Henry's Church, started from the church withAying banners, amid the joyful pealing of the church bells. The procession thus composed proceeded at once to the new school, which had been grace. fully decorated with feestoons of flowers and evergreens. Over the main door of the build ing was to be seen an inscription, pointing to the purpose for which the new building had been erected, " Suffer little children to come to Me." A German address was delivered by the pastor, Rev. J. Bogaerts, which was lis tened to with marked attention. Next spoke the Rev. Father Abbott in English. IIs, was a great oratorical effort on Christian education through the Catholic Church. Father Abbott made some telling points about the present condition of Germany, and to show how God in the inscrutable designs of his wisdom works out his own plans, even through the hands of the most impious men, he told the people of St. Henry's parish to pray for pr,- assmart, who was to a certain extent, entitled to t;htr gratitude for sending out to them those geed Sisters, who would probably never have se~ New Orleans if it was not for the edict of ex pulsion emanating from the " man of steel and iron." The ceremony of dedication was then performed by Rev J. Bogaerts, assisted by the Rev. Fathers Abbott, and Vallee of Car rollton. On the whole St. Henry's congregA tion may congratualate itself on poseesing unch fine schools- placed under the careful training of the Sisters of Christian Charity, and we are confident that the Cstholic Ger mans of the Sixth District will avail them selves of the opportunity thus offered them of obtaining for their children, at a trifling ex pense, the benefits of a sound Christian educa tion. Sv. HanRY's GCHOOL.-In calling attention to the advertisement of this school, we desire to impress upon the public the fact that the Sisters have classes separate from the or dinary course and to which young ladies as well asu school girls are admitted, in which plain and ornamental needle work is taught. We would also state that a Sister of rare mu sical attainments, devotes her time excla sively to teaching piano. For particulars see advertisement. Curuacar Musc.-The St. Cesilia Society of the Third District produnes to-day, at Holy Trinity Church, for High Mas, one of the finest compositlonas of Rev. Francia Witt, the bat composer in the new style of Catholic church music. This style is intended to supplspt the operatic style now in vogue, and amateurs will have an opportunity of judging of its merits.

C"ý BeforeSrnrivinst Patsy, which we ap proeahed after ng' li, and as soon as ever the lights of the station became visl bl, we perceived that its whole neighbor hood was lit up by hundoreds and hundreds of moving lis. These were the inhabl tants and other pilgrims who had come to meet us with tapers already once be fore, and, after nealy three hours of pa tient waiting, were still there or had come again. The Bishop of Oran, in Algeria, deputed by the Bishop of Autun to receive as, was there with about 300 elergy who had come into Paray from the neighboring country as well as nearly all the inhabi tants of the town and the gentry of the principal families for forty miles round about. All of these bore tapers, and as our procession was getting together inside the station, those outside sung the Credo, as is the usage at the reception of pilgrims; and the bells of the abbey churoh were heard ringing a touts roles in the distance. Presently we emerged, the banner of the Pilgrimage borne by the Duke of Norfolk, and that of the Sacred Heart, near the head of the procession, the ladies following; then the laity, each four deep, with the other banners, which I shall have occasion to specify presently ; then the clergy, fol lowed by Mgrs. Weld, Searle, Capel, Pat terson, DeHaerne, and Virtue, and lastly by the Bishop of Salford and Canons Toole, Wilding, and Sheehan. The Bishop ofAutan having kindly requested the Bishop to act precisely as if he was in his own diocese, he was attired in cappa magna, and was attended "capitulariter" by the represen tatives of his Chapter, who were to join him in the consecration of the Bishop, Chapter, clergy, and faithful of the diocese to the Sacred HeBrt. As we wound along the streets of the quaint old town, gradually ascending the hill on which stands the fine old Benedictine abbey which serves as the parish church, the scene was very striking. The whole town was illumina ted, and on banners hanging from tne houses we read the nscription, "Anglais Catholiques pries poor ia France," while the octagonal lantern spire of the abbey church burnt with a crown of light. Com pact ranks of spectators, carrying tapers, formed a line for us on each side, and sa lated us with "Vive l'Angleterre Catholi que !" while the French clergy, also with tapers, moved along in a line on either hand between them and us, singing "Ecoe quatm bonm et quam jaucundum habitare fratres in anum." Presently we passed the open portal of the Chapel of the Vias tation, brilliantly illuminated within, and saluted as we passed the shrine and the Altar of the Apparition. Soon we arrived at a triumphal arch adorned with banners and Chinese lanterns, and entered the en closure of the abbey, and a still thicker crowd of inhabitants of all classes raised the striking hymn now so popular in France : Dien de Clemence ! O Dien vainqueur ! Sanoes Rome et l France Au nor du Sacre Ceanr. The English pilgrims, who had been singing the Magnificat, together with the French priests who accompanied them, and also the hymn '"Immaclate, Immaca late," on arriving at the portal of the great church, struck up the hymn to the Sacred Heart, which, as they crowded into the vast and lofty Romanesque edifice, gather ed force and resounded along its vaults with great effect. The Bishop of Salford then gave the Episcopal Benediction from the Altar, and informed the pilgrims that as it was past midnight, the Masses would immediately commence, and that billets would be distributed to the pilgrims in the cloister. The general Communion was to be in the morning, but as the chapel of the convent would only hold 200 at a time, he advised that as many as could should go to Communion during the night, and that none should remain in the chapel longer than for the duration of one Mass. The Masses began immediately both in the great church and in the chapel, and French and English priests were busy hearing confessions, the latter having received special faculties for the purpose from the Bishop of Auton. Many priests never went to bed at all, but spent the whole night in the church, as did many ladies, some going out into the fresh air to awaken themselves and then returning to their de votions, some getting a little sleep on their chairs, and one dignified ecclesiastic rest ing on the steps of the pulpit. None could mistake the fact that here were no holi day excursionists, but souls impressed with the epirtual life, and deeply intent on spiritual and unseen things. In the cla pal of the Convent, the High Altar was the site of most of the principal apparitions to Blessed Margaret Mary-who was kneeling in her accustomed place within the grating of the Nuns' choir to the right-and above the Altar is a picture representing the ap parition. To the right also is the shrine of Blessed Margaret Mary, placed for the present within the sanctuary, with can dies always burning around It. It is of metal gilt with large panes of crystal be tween the colonnettes supporting the roof, and within it is seen the body of the "Bien heurease," reposing in her habit with a golden lily in her hands, which, as well as her face, are covered with a war mask. As the shrine is now placed the sacred body is at the height of about five feet from the ground, and plainly visible to the spec tator. Within the Nuna'choir is perserved a reliquary containing her brain; but this only the Bishops who entered the Convent itself were able to examine and venerate. The night passed thus in devotions, and in a short interval of repoe, till we were awakened at five o'clock by the clanging of the bells and the sound of hymns, and as I looked out of my window I saw a stream of pilgrims of all classes with their clergy asing along the road from the station. They were the pilgrims from Tarare, near Lyons, and daring the day others appear ed. I shall have to tell you more of them presently. After the Masses of the English were nearly done-Mgr. Capel was saying his at about half-puast nine at the Altar of the Apparition-the French pilgrims had a high Mass in the parish church, after which the English procession was to take place. Bout before describing the procession I should wish to say a word about the locali ties it was to visit. By a very special pri vilege, no longer granted asince the great pilgrimages of June, and not to be granted again, we were to be allowed to enter the Iarge garden of the Convent, which is within the "enclosure." When the Nuns of the Visitation first heard that pilgrim. ages were coming to Patsray they were teri -.s ben fn upon,! an should tie overran by elm ,atm ad i a tois sake that the Bshop esss anns o o permit admisson into the garden de on the oesasion of the Eoglsh pilgrimage. I may also mention thattl only i their rivacy that these good daughters of 8t. Franc of Sales haye suffered. Although the Chape of the partion has bee sumptuously eoated, and is fall of ba ners, the uns have lost eonsiderably. They have made no collections, and are generally forgotten by the pllgrims. On these ocasions more than 100 Masses a day are said I their chapel, beginlag at midnight, and they have bad deof.y the cost of wine, etc., for the Altar, sd to pay four eelesiastics to attend the sacrity, besides which many poor priests, fter saying Mass, received their breakfast from the uns. Another year some pro vison will be made for them by the Bisop of the Diocese, bat'as yet they have had to meet all these extra and unforeen expen ses. Bat to return to our procession. As the Nuns could not be asked to open their garden twice, the Fteneh pilgrims present expressed a wish to follow the Enilish in the procession, and this was readily ar ranged. Between ten and eleven the French High Mass was over, and the Eng Iish pilgrims entered the parish churoh, where their banners had been left the night before. The Bishop of Beverley, kneeling in the pulpit, then recited the Litanies of the Sacred Heart, to which all the pilgrims responded; after which the Bishop of Salford, ascended the pulpit and preached an eloquent sermon. Then came tb6procession. It was head ed by the inevitable"Saluse" in a gorgeous uniform and by the processional cross and candles borne by little acolytes. Then came the Union Jack, bordered with white, as none but the Royal Navy and the Yacht Club have a right to bear it without border. It was carried by Vice-Admiral Jeningbham, supported on either hand by an officer of the Army and of the Navy. Next followed the banner of the Pilgrim age borne by the Duke of Norfolk, its four silken cords being held-by" Lord Arandell of Wardour, Lord Dormer, Lord Edmund Howard, end the Master of Herries. Then came the banner of the Sacred Heart, which had been displayed at the mainmast of the steamer, carried by the Hon. and Rev. Dr. Talbot, and then the ladies, four abreast, and about 300 in number' Next came the banner of Scotland, which was a very effective one, borne by Lord Walter Kerr. Then followed ladies, amongst whom the banner of the "Children of Mary" was carried by Lady Anne Howard, Lady Con stance Noel, and the Hon. Miss Maxwell. Then came the banners of the colleges. There were also the banners of Salford, Sheffield, Accrington, St. Helen's, and that. of the parish of Notre Dame de France, in London borne by the Rev. Father Faure, C. M. Then came the rest of the laity, also four abreast, amongst whom all ages were represented, from the youth of our colleges to venerable age, such as that of Mr. Philip Jones (of Llanarth,) who is in his eighty second year; the representatives of Religious Orders in their habits, and then the clergy. Bat we most not omit to men tion two banners which preceded them. One was that of some Russian converts, headed by. the Peres Cagarine, Martinov, and Balabine, and by the Dowager Prin cess of Sayn Wittgenstein, see Bariatinaky, who had requested permission to join the English pilgrimage. The other was the banner of the English Knights of St. John of Jerusalem, which Immediately preceded the clergy and took up its position after wards at the entrance of the sanctuary. As your space would not permit of my giving the namesofall the clergy I will merely say that of the Religious Orders and Congre gations, the Benedictines, the Dominicans, the Franciscans, the Jesuits, the Oratorians, the Marists, the Oblates of Mary Immaculate, and the Oblates of St. Charles were repre sented, and that of the clergy altogether 193 priests were counted in the procession. The Domestic Prelates and other Monsig nori followed in the dress of their rank, and the Bishop of .Salford and his Canons, (accompanied by Bishop Collier,) closed the English part of the procession, which numbered between 1,200 and 1,300 in all. Then followed about 1,300 French, with whom were the Bishop of Nimes (Mgr. Piantier) and of Oran (ldgr. Callot,) with the illustrious Confessor, Mgr. Her millod, who had come to Paray-le-Monial on purpose to meet the English pilgrims. All the French banners were brought out of the sanctuary, first Alsace and Lorraine, then the National Assembly, then Chaloo, Dijon, Dole, and Savoy. and at times dur ing the procession the French pilgrims in terrupted their hymns to recite the Rosary for the conversion of England. After de fling through the streets of the town, sing ing the hymn to the Sacred Heart, "Daily, daily, sing to Mary," " Faith of our Fa. ther," and other hymns, the head of the English procession arrived at the gates of the Convent garden, which we passed through viewing the objects of interest. When we had defiled out of the garden, we passed through the chapel by the shrine, and round through the sacristy to the front, where on the raised platform before the door the banners took up their position and the Bishops of Salford and Beverley and Bishop Collier, with Mgr. Mermillod and the Bishops of Nimes and Oran, knelt at the door. The whole of the procession be ng ranged along the street facing the hapel, the Bishop of Salford rose, and in a oud and distipct voice pronounced the Act >f Reparation for the sins of our country luring the last 300 years, each phrase be ing repeated after him by the vast assem blage. The pilgrims then dispersed, the bauners being taken back to the parish ,hurch. It was now threeo'clock, and every ne dined where he could. At half-past ire we assembled again at the parish uhurch, and Vespers of our Blessed Lady were sang by the Bishop of Salford, after which the Episcopal Benediction was liven, and Mgr. Capel preached on the act if consecration which we were about to nsake. After the sermon, the Blessed Sacrament as exposed, and after the " O Salataris " asd been suag, the Bishop of Salford re :ited the Act of Consecration, by which the igrme, as far as itas s in their power, edated their country to the service of he Sacred Heart, and each sentence, as it ras repeated in a loud voice by all, seemed o fill with sound the spacious church, rais d seven centuries ago by the Benedictines, boat the time when in our Island St. [homas of Canterbary was shedding his bood for the liberty of Holy Church.

The processon kept to the left of the broad road, so that it mlght return down the right, and it was followed as be fore by the French. But as it began tore. turn, the French opened to right and left, and formed two long lines through which our ascending and descending preceeuson passed, and from the top of the avenue, as indeed throughout its whole, length, the spectacle was most imposing. The tapers which everyone carried were visible, owing to the slope of the hill, down the who'e length of the avenue, in double lines each of four abreast, while the French pilgrims and inhabitants lined the sides with theirs. These were thrown into relief by the shade of the magnificent trees, while a splendid moon cast its light obliquely, through their branches. Here the ories- ofVive 'An gleterre Catholique I" became so -lqd, that a mere response of " Vive Ia France V was judged insaffiocient, and Admiral Jerning ham wavedhisUnion Jack, sad the pilgrims broke into an English cheer which roused the echoes of the neighborhood. The hymns whloh had been sang throughout the whole course of the procession, and which the clergy were still singing, were then re sumed, and at length we reached the church in which a To Defm sung with great force and unison, and the Episaopal Benedietion closed the public devotions of the Pilgrim age. - Imnmediatel after midnight the masses began in the Chapel of the itppartion, and many priests and others remained in pryer the whole night until four In the morning, when the pilgrims had to be at the station. At half-past focr the train started, and the pilgrims took away with them a lasting memory of a most solemn act and of a most touching scene, together with a kindly remembrance of the fraternal cordiality with which they had been received. I should mention, by-the-by, that before ves. pers the Duke of Norfolk, several members of the committee, and Mgr. Patterson, vis ited K. de Sormain, the head of the local committee of reception, as well as the Rec tor of the Jesults. and the Care, to express their thanks for the warmth of the recep tion and the thoughtful care of the arrange ments made for their comfort. The jour ney back to Paris was unmarked by any incident, except that the prayers were con tinued as before as far as the great fltigue of the pilgrims would permit, and that the Duke of Norfolk received a Well-deserved ovation from the pilgrims at Montargis. At Paris, which was reached at 5 r. x. on Friday, they separated; some to continue their journey the. same evening back to England, others-fty or sixty, I believe to join the great French pilgrimage to Oar Lady of the Sacred Heart at Iasoudun and others to obtaina day or two rest after a week which was certainly anything but the holiday ramble which some of our English papers predicted that it would be.
