rpHERE was a time when hearty people were inclined to despise Badminton — as once they despised lawn tennis-as a soft and ladylike game. This view has long been abandoned, and Badminton is now justly recognized as a fast and exciting game which provides an ideal means of keeping fit. Mr. Bisgood, who gives this evening's talk, is not only a Badminton enthusiast, but a cricketer who has played for Somerset.

IN the Sacred Festival Drama Parsifal, Wagner's last work, the composer treats of the legendary relic of the Eucharist, the Holy Grail (the cup which was used at the Last Supper, and in which the Saviour's blood was received at the Crucifixion).
In this extract we have the solemn entry of the Knights as they gather to partake of the Love Feast, when the Grail is unveiled.

—I, by Mr. and Mrs. G. D. H. COLE
THE idea of broadcasting a serial is not a new one, but the present series promises to be particularly notable. Tonight, and on the following three Saturdays at the same time, Mr. and Mrs. Cole will broadcast a new and unpublished detective story, and listeners will have the opportunity o{ indulging in clue-hunting to their hearts' desire. And it goes without saying that a detective story by the authors of ' The Brooklyn Murders' and ' The Death of a Millionaire ' will contain enough thrills to satisfy the most ardent devotee.
