Scene III.—THE FORTRESS.

FIGHT FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP!

Timour's expeditious method of settling the difficulties consequent upon a drawn game—Alarming discovery! Zorilda turns out to be no other than—Zorilda.

Scene IV.—THE CASTLE BATTLEMENTS AGAIN.

Timour is shown in many colours—Infested by the Green-eyed Monster, he falls into a brown study, and abandons himself to the blue devils; so that everything wears a yellow hue.

Scene V.—A splendid Chamber in the Fortress.

Ingenious stratagems to seat Agib on his father's throne, and to prevent Timour from being seated on Agib—The old bird is caught with chaff, and the young bird escapes.

Scene VI.—A CORRIDOR IN THE FORTRESS.

Timour, utterly routed, seems to be on the route for the other world—However, his punishment is commuted, for he is married to Zorilda by the Genius of Extravaganza, who likewise presents him with a SUPERB TABLEAU (A LA GUNTERESQUE) OF A WEDDING CAKE MADE BY THE CONFECTIONERS OF FAIRY LAND!! In accordance with the prevailing taste at this Season of the Year.
