WELLINGTON COLLEGE.

Extensive preparations are in progress for the cere•
mony of laying the first stone of this noble institution by
her Majesty, on Monday

The area of the building has been enclosed and fitted
up with seats, and a pavilion erected at the south end
for the use of the Queen. A large working party of sol-
diers from Aldershott has also been actively employed
iu preparing the ground and making arrangements for
the review, which the military authorities are using
to render as effective as possible. Refreshment tents
have been erected, and the supply entrusted to Messrs.
Staples, of the Crystal Palace, who have undertaken to
make ample provision for the comfort and accommoda-
tion of vistors.

Numerous applications have been received for tickets,
and from the warm interest which her Majesty and the
Prince Consort, and all classes of the public, have
evinced in the progress of the institution, it is expected
that the inauguration of this noble monument to the
memory of the great duke, and fur the education of
orphan sons of the gallant men who have fallen in their
country's service, will take place under auspices the
most favourable to its future usefulness and well-being.
The governor of the College will assemble at the
Royal Pavilion by one o'clock, to receive her Majesty,
and the Queen's arrival will be announced by a royal
salute from two batteries of artillery.
A prayer for the occasion will be offered up by the
Archbishop of Canterbury. A glass tube, containing
specimens of the current coins of the realm, together
with an inscription engrossed on vellum, wilt be depo-
cited in an aperture in the stone by the (been. Her
Majesty will then proceed to lay the stone, and the com-
pletion of the ceremony will be announced by a dis-
charge of artillery. The Qaecu sill then return in pre-
cession to the Royal Position, and the governors hill
have the honour of taking luncheon with her Majesty.
The military bands wiil play during the time of
luncheon, after which the Queen will return through the
building to the royal tent on the terrace at the north
front, to review the troops. About 12,000 troops, with
two field batteries of artillery, will be assembled for the
occasion, under the command of his Royal Highness the
Duke of Cambridge. At the close of the review the
troops will march past her Majesty in front of the ter-
race. The Queen will return to the Pavilion, and take
her departure about 4h. 30m., and the special trains fur
the governors and their friends will leave half•an-hour
after her Majesty.
Ticket holders for the reserved seats, and no others,
will be admitted to the Queen's terrace.

A special train, of first class carriages only, will leave
the Waterloo bridge station for the site of the building
at 1011. 30m. on the morning of the 21. June. There will
also be a special train, at nine o'clock, with first and
second class carriages, from the London•bridge station
of the South Eastern Railway, on a train of first class
carriages at 10 o'clock from the Bricklayers' Arms sta-
tion.
