A SCHOOLBOYS' DUEL.
An extraordinory case has been brought before
the Lindsey (Lincolnshire) magistrates. Two boys,
Gerald Maurice Brown and George Henry Seagrove,
pupils at • boardinghouse in Lin :oln, quenelled
about a trivial matter, and Brown, by way of set-
tling the difficulty, sent Seagmve a formal dial.

and, about two o'clock, at which time the boys are
allowed to go out for • walk, the duellists and
their seconds started for a secluded spot in Greetwell.

loaded the pistol for Brown, and • youth named
Walter Green did a like office for Sengrove. Both pis-
tols were loaded- with powder and ball. Dawson meta.
sured the distance decided upon-13 paces—and placed
apeg in the ground for the antagonists to stand
against. Dawson then counted three, and dropped a
handkerchief, he counted slowly, and lust boys took
direct aim at each other, firing the instant th, hand-
kerchief felL Seagmve immediately cried out, " I'm
hit," and then lay down. It was then found that hi.
pistol had burst. The seconds then starched for the
wound, and found it to be in the leg. They bound
up the wound and, with the aid of Brown, assisted
the boy home. The pistols used on the occasion were
bought on their route at • toy shop, fat each
being the price given. One of the witneues (all scholars)
desciibed the combatants as being on opparently
friendly terms while going to Greetwell, and no ii

whole affair being apparently conducted in the coolest
manner possible. After hearing other evidence, the
magistrates remanded the krisoner Brown, and the two

THE DUKE AND DUCHESS OF
EDINBURGH.
" STATE" ENTRY INTO LONDON.
A Russian Princess entering London in the midst of
inch a snow storm as is more often seen in the do.;
minions of the Czar than in England, mid the
waving of Russian flags, and between long lines
of Russian colours, to the music of the Rttl-
Allan National Anthem, and beneath the Russian
Eagle—such was the eight presented to the eyes of the
British public on Thursday. And ye, k despite the
bitterly cold wind which blew, and the UM-easing tel
of wet snow-flakes, there assembled in the streets al
London such • crowd as has not been seen since the day
when the Prince of Wales introduced his Danish
bride to the English people.
From • very early hour Londoners were astir
along the line which bad been marked out as the route
for the royal procession. In the various districts, com-
mittees bad been organised, and money subscribed in
order to render the decorations complete and uniform,
and to guard against the possibility of any wide space
being unoniamented with the yellow and black which
form the national colours of the Princess. And well
hail they succeeded. For fully an hoar before the
time at which the Royal party was to arrive, the
Great Western Railway Station, London-street,
Edgware.road, Regent-street, and, indeed all the line
of procession were radiant with colours and festoons
of flowers. By this time, too, the troops were ap-
pearing in great masses; Rifles, Highlanders, Fusi-
liers, Infantry of the Line, and Grenadiers, while on
horseback were Dragoons, Artillery, and Iluuars
corning up in squadrons to keep back the crowd. Police-
men also there were in vast numbers, marshalled by
officials of portentous appearance, wearing marvellous
cocked hate, and carrying @words of Achilles-like
strength. Gradually the crowds gathered, albeit the
allow feU unceasingly and covered housetop and hat-
top alike. The ground it could scarcely touch, for so
numerous were the people, and so closely packed
together, that as the snow came down it seemed te
fall no lower than the shoulders of the people thatching
them thickly with congealed moisture. At the
Paddington Station the preparations were complete.
Here stood the Naval Brigade, • magnificent set
of sailors, short Enfield in hand, headed by officers
resplendent is blue cloth and broad geld lace ;
there a squadron of Dragoon Guards and of the Queen's
Bays, helmet and sword shining bright through the
snow—admirably mounted and richly caparisoned
while in front of the station were the 2ndLifa
Guards, in glittering breastplates, • mass of giants fit
to be compared with Praoba enski regiments or the Inc.
penal bodyguards of any nation. Of the spectators who
were not in that crowd, and who, by paying large sums,
hail secured for themselves pieces of vantage, it is not
necessary to aay much, except to state OM by tens of
thousands they sat in balcony and in window, on the
heusetops even, patiently waiting for the moment to
come when they should be able to wave handkerchief
and hat in welcome of the Princess. All along the line,
by eleven o'clock, stood the 10,000 troops brought
to London to keep the way. By this time,too, the police
were in position, employing themselves, now in push-
ing back the surging crowds upon the path, and now in
hauling out by the neck some recondite rascal, who for
fun or malevolence was engaged in crushing with might
and main helpless women and children, and old men
and feeble.

But the beauties of Edgeware-read notwithstanding,
the place, of all others, to see was Regent-circus. Here
the ingenuity of committees and individuals
had exhausted itself. With a grand padoga
full of evergreens in the centre, the circus
was weldnigh covered in with festoons of eons,
stretching from poles round the bower to the roofs of
the houses which form the open space. Beneath
these roses were stationed the band of the Royal
Artillery, while not far away stood the 93rd High-
landers, brilliant with buskleand feather and kilt ;
and the 103rd Fusiliers stretching as far as the eye
could see in • long thin line; in front of all being
stationed a battery of Horse Artillery, minus the
guns, the police standing two deep inside the cordon
formed by the troops. Of the devices and the decora-
tions it is almost needless to say more than that
every house was ornamented, and that a perpetual
line of colour was kept up in every direction. Three
places might perhaps be mentioned • the balconies of
Madame 'Louise, a celebrated Court dressmaker,
filled as they were with in brilliant aesemblage of
ladies ; the house of Jay and Co., with its Russian
inscriition of "(led Bless them," and a millinery
shop, in front of which were the words in gigantic letters,
" Cead inillia tallith'," which being iuterpreted signified
• hearty Welsh blessing-upon the newly-married pair.
The Queen is always punctual, and the crowd
had not long to wait for her Majesty's arrival. Two
minutes before the time appointed, in fact, the royal
train arrived at Paddington, and the troops formed up
to receive her Majesty. Without a moment's delay the
members of the Royal Household appeared on the
steps of the station, and, taking their places in the
carriages allotted for them, drove off ;
then the Prince and Princeu of Wales, who
, were loudly cheered, and next the Queen,
: who, accompanied by the Duke and Duchess, was
enthusiastically received as she stepped into the
Royal barouche, "God Save the Queen' and the
Russian National Anthem being lustily played by the
assembled hands. Meanwhile Prince Arthur, acting
as able-de camp to Major-General Parke, hail ridden
along the line, cheered lustily by the people, and
' saluted Ida Royal mother and the bride. Space
would fail to tell how, at every point, the cortege
was received with loud bunts of loyal shouts, how
charmingly the Princen Marie attired n may in white,
bowed her thanks to the people; how incessantly the
Duke of F•linhurgh, wearing the uniform of a captain
of the navy, touched his hat, in recognition of the
welcome be received, and how graciously smiled the
Queen, all she learnt from the thousands of her sub-
ject. anembled, that loyalty to the throne is still a
characteristic of English hearts ; albeit, that in these
days of progress, the cry for reform and retrenchment
iej heard in our &init. People said it was
" plucky" of Her Majesty to weather the storm in
an open carriage, and they loved her the more because
when her subjects braved the falling snow, their Queen
needed no cover to protect herself from the
cold. Suffice it to any that the procession
moved on in the midst of one continued cheer,
Queen, l'i Meese and l'rinces, sharing alike the con.
gratulation. of the vast crowd which bad assembled to
do them honour.
In this way the Royal party paned through Oxford-
street, Regent-street, and Waterloo place, where
the line of march to Buckingham Niece had
been formed by the police, and kept by the cavalry
and line regiments from about a quarter-pruit twelve,
under the principal order of Prince glward of Saxe
Weimar, who had arrived at the bottom of Waterloo-
place some time previously. The aides of the road
weie here lined with the Grenadier Guarilsand Royal
Blued, and the decorations which had been entrusted to
the firm of Defries and Son, who had also decorated
St. Petersburg at the time of the marriage, Graves-
end on their arrival in England, and London as they
passed through to Windsor. Notwithstanding the great
Impediment they had received by the unexpected
frost, and the short notice of three days which had
been granted for preparation, the effect was admira-
ble; the most conspicuous object being • large
crimson stand with the Russian anus in front and three
statues rising out of a bed of hot-house plant. and
flowers, which was placed in such • manner
SS almost to hide the monument erected
to the memory of the Crimean heroes. As
the precession was seen to approach much excite
went was evinced by the crowd, which at this part
was very thick, and extended to the windows and
roofs of the houses. As the royal carriage arrived in
Waterloo place, the band of the 2nd Life
Guards played the National Anthem, followed
by the Russian Hymn, and It was a signifi-
cant fact that, if anything, more eagerness
was evinced to obtain • glimpse of the Queen than
of the illustrious pair for whom the procession
had been formed; but yet not so much as to drown
the widespread cries of "There she is !" and
"There he is!" and "There they are!" in reference
to the Duke and Duchess. The dingy balustrades of
Pall Mall were effectively hidden and ornamented with
crimson cloth, and flags were freely dispersed among
Its various windows, while the bright dresses and
faces of the people produced a liveliness to the scene
rarely to be witnessed.
When the royal cavalcade proceeded down Cockspne-
et., the characteristic feature was a display of mottoes,
*specially at Mr. Stanford's, the agent for Admiralty
charts, such as "England welcomes Russia," "The
pride of the people," "Here also Marie shall thy
name be blest. "Welcome Belgian Flower."
Above the crowd in Trafalgar-square roes the well-
known Nelson monument, which skewed that even
the elements aided the human endeavour, in prevent-
ing the remembrance of past strife during • scene of
peace and happinen, for the statue was nearly hidden

probably have noticed even • higher iepreedon of the
pined and hardiness of the British sailor. Oise of the
tars, rather tired of doing nothing, pinched &policeman's

such hearty goodwill as to knock Jeok head over heat
on to the hard stones. The concussion was enough to
kill any ordinary man, but after lying ball insensible
for about ten seconds, the sailor got up, robbed his
heed, picked up his musket, and proceeded to petrol up
and down as if nothing whatever had (marred to disturb
the even tenor of his way.

At the Olympia Theatre this occasion WU celebrated
by the recital of an ode on the Royal Wedding. The
following Is an extract :

Come, gentle lady, from thy far home faring,
Come from thy shelter at thy parents' side,
Leave all tho love and all the tender caring,
Thoughtful thy steps aright to guide:
Oh, come to us! It tarries not behind thee
This love, for ever,., a vanished thing,
To the old life the new life will but bird thee
With new love-ties of fairest fashioning.
Oh, hear our welcomes! Then thoult doubt no more
If England have no warm love left for thee !
Mt up thine eyes on her whom we adore,
Our darling lady and our tineen to be.
Live as she lives We weloinic thee as truly
M once we welcomed her, whom now we blew,
And Cal and Love, who order all things duly,
Shall surely teach us not to love thee 1011111.
One of the most interesting features in the night's
eelebration WVI the torch•light procession, formed by
between 300 and 400 coedit:lbl students, and about 100
alvil servants, to the outer gated of Buckingham Palette.
The students met at Bleak friars Bridge, and proaeeded,
along the Thames Embankment to the Pekes, in front
of whion they demonstrated their loyalty by their
bend playiug, first the Bossism and then the English
National Anthem, and winding up with a suceesaloo of
vociferous cheers for the Q teen and tle neerly.wedded
