Speculations are already heard as to whether

Representations have been made to the commistiooers, to

Exhibition to remain open until the Prince of Wales comas
of age, when his royal highnees will probably be induced to
take part in the ceremonial of the distribution of prizes.

marriage of the Duke and Duchess de Brabant, the troops
of the garrison of Brussels were exempted from service a•
