SANDRINGHAM, Nov. 10.

Their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales, the
Prince Frederick of Denmark, his Serene Highm,ess
the Prince Edward of Saxe-Weimar, and peaty
have been shooting to-day in Jocelyn's Wood.
Their Royal Highnesses the Princess of Wales
and the Crown Princess of Prussia; attended by 1: he
Countess of Morton and the Countess Hohenth al,
drove out.

The Hon. R. H. Meade left Sandringham for

town.

The festivities at Sandringham, in connect:ion
with the celebration of the anniversary of the bieLh-
day of his Royal Highness the Prince of Waies,
were in the main strictly of a private character,
and the large number of persons from the neigh-
bourhood who drove on the estate were disappointed
of seeing anything except the Prince and his par ty,
who were shooting in the neighbourhood of the
hall, and who were joined by the Princess of Arales
and the Crown Princess of Prussia.

About four o'clock on Monday afternoon the
children of the Sandringham, Wolferton, and D cr.
singham schools sang a piece or two in front of the
hall, attended by the clergy on the estate, and were
afterwards provided with a sumptuous dinner in a
part of the coach-houses fitted up as a dining-room.
Their royal highnesses and their royal relatives
manifested great interest in the proceedings, and
the Prince and Princess kindly presided at the fes-
tive board. After their royal highnesses had re-
tired, and ample justice had been done to the repast,
the following toasts were given and enthusiastically
responded to :--" The Queen," " The Prince and
Princess of Wales," " Prince Alfred and the rest of
the Royal Family," " The Crown Princess of Prus-
sia," " General Knollys," and " The Equerries."
The cottagers and workpeople on the estate also
had a dinner—Mr. Carmichael, the prince's steward,
presiding.
At half-past nine in the evening the approaches
to the hall were filled with carriages containing
visitors to an evening party given by their royal
highnesses—invitations to which had been sent to
the chief families of the western division of the
county.
The party comprised the Prince Frederick William
of Prussia, Prince Frederick of Denmark, his Serena
Highness the Prince Edward of Saxe-Weimar,
Major Teesdale, Lieutenant-Colonel Keppel, Hon.
R. H. Mead, Lieutenant-General Knollys and Mrs.
and the Misses Knollys, Mr. H. Fistier, Captain
Lund, Rev. G. B. Maxon, the ex-Mayor of Lynn,
Mr. L. W. Jarvis and Mrs. Jarvis, Captain and
Mrs. Campbell, Mr. and Mrs. Villebois, &c., to the
number of 43. Dancing was kept up with great
spirit till a late hour.
At the neighbouring town of King's Lynn the
festivities of the day were appropriately concluded
by an illumination which, for a provincial town. and
raking into consideration the brief notice of the in-
tention of his royal highness to celeb,-ate his birth-
day at Sandringham, did infinite credit to the loyalty
and public spirit of the inhabitants.
All the prince's tradespeople and nwny others
iiluminated, and the general effect was striking. A
grand display of fireworks took place on the 'rues-
day Market-place, and were witnessed by a vast
concourse of persons.
The bells of St. Margaret's Church continued
ringing till a late hour, and the public rejoicings
did not terminate till an early hour in the mornieg-

THE ILLUMINATIONS.
One of the most splendid illumination in the metropolis
on the occasion of his Royal Highness the Prawe of
Wales's birthday, was that of Messrs. H. Poole and Co.,
tailors.—The design was architectural in principle,
iind might, in fact, be said to represent the front of a crystal
temple. Four Corinthian pillars of crystal with spiral lines
of rubies supported an elliptic arch as centre, which w5B
surmounted by the Prince of Wales' plume. The two
wings, formed by a well-proportioned cornice placed on the
columns, supported two lions in a recumbent positiosl,•
formed of amber stones ; they were not merely outlined,
but
actually moulded to the shape of the animals, and were'
beautifully executed and very effective in position. Beneath
the centre arch a beautiful oval shield was plac.Nl, sur
rounded by the rose, thistle, and shamrock, and havis
in the centre the royal initials, " A.E.," reversed, at id " A.'
is the centre, most chastely worked in colours—the shield
itself being surmounted by a glory in crystal glass : alld
beneath the cornice of each of the two wings a s.plendia
star of Hanover was placed—the whole forming a chaste,
well-balanced, and effective design. In addition. to tills
grand centre-piece, the two wings of ;qr. Poole's house
were covered by a very bold design in glas also represent,
hag the shields of the arms of Denmark and England, surer
rounded by the most effective wreaths of laurel leaves, to
many shades of green glass, which has ever appeared in all
out-door illumination.
