archal and which astonishing- the stranger inspired the stanza of Charles Joliet:

A Tivoli, messieurs, tout se passe en famille Et sans danger la mere y conduira sa fille.

Saturday is the most select evening with symphony-concerts in the great concert-hall. On Sundays and days of festival the esta­ blishment is visited by the general public. On such evenings the population of Copenhagen is keeping holiday, while the establish­ ment is resplendent with thousands upon thousands of variegated lights like the garden of Aladdin, the music is sounding. P ie rro t is acting his funny parts always equally appreciated, Colum ­ bine is making her pirouettes, and last not least the splendid fireworks are let off and eatherine-wheels and hissing rockets mounting on high are sending a bright message of festival and merry-making over the city. Just inside of the gates of Tivoli you see on your left the small Ch i n e s e P a n t om i me T h e a t r e (architect Dahlerup) with its variegated drop in shape of a peacock’s tail. To the right in the shrubbery the » I I a rmo n i o r - ke s t e r « orchestral band, a little further on the picturesque Moresque Bazaar. To the left is the artists plain where rope-dancing, aerial feats and the like is performed. Further to the left the great C o n c e r t - Ha l l with its beauti­ ful veranda covered with foliage (Every evening music of a string-band). Around the Concert-Hall is a favourite promenade and behind it may be seen the last remains of the old city-moat, where the Fr i g a t e , a floating restau­ rant is moored.
