Viva Santa Colomal" Alday flung his hat off, and, falling on his knees, remained for some moments in silent prayer, his hands clasped before him.

He then introduced me as Don Ricardo simply for he did not know my surname to the lovely senorita, Dolores Zelaya; after which he again bade us adieu and hurried away.

Don Sinforiano Alday the owner of the place, and my questioner made me take off my coat to exhibit the bruises the bull's hoofs had inflicted on my arms and shoulders.
Among Viotti's most prominent pupils were Roberrechts, Pixis, Alday le jeune, Cartier, Rode, Mori, Durand, and Baillot, also Mlle. Gerbini and Madame Paravicini.

He was a thin, elderly man, with calm grey eyes and a colourless face, and looked like a gentleman.
Viotti had but few pupils, but among them were a number of highly gifted artists. Rode, Robrechts, Cartier, Mdlle. Gerbini, Alday, La-barre, Pixis, Mari, Mme. Paravicini, and Vacher are well-known names to all those interested in the literature of the violin.
The horses were standing saddled at the door, and Alday, pointing out a very fair-looking animal, informed me that it had been saddled for me, and then added that he and his friends would ride one or two leagues with me to put me on the right road to Montevideo.
A letter of Iames Alday to the Worshipfull M. Michael Lock, Agent in London for the Moscouie company, touching a trade to be established in Lappia, written 1575.
