Her Majesty's birthday was celebrated in the
metropolis by the usual display of illuminations,
transparencies, and flags, the attractions of which,
notwithstanding the unsettled weather, were suffi-
cient to cause the main thoroughfares of the central
and western portion of London to be densely
crowded from dusk until some time after midnight.
'The' wind was rather too high to permit the gas
illuminations (which have almost entirely super-
seded the old oil lamps) to bk Z forth with their
best effects, but upon the whole the evening was
not unfavourable. Firstamong the blazing tributes
of loyalty were, of course, the club-houses, most of
which presented devices which, if not very novel,
were, at least, not less brilliant than upon former
similar occasions.
