THE ROYAL CHRISTENING DAY
IN THE METROPOLIS.
THE ILLUMINATIONS.

The illuminations in the West-end, last evening, were
very numerous and splendid. Among the most re-
markable were those of the Guards' Club-house, Crock-
ford's, the Army and Navy, the Colonial, the Wynd-
ham, the Carlton, the Reform, the Senior United Ser-
vice, and the Oxford and Cambridge Club-houses.
The Prince's feathers was the general symbol. A great
number of private tradesmen, including, of course, • those
employed by the Court, illuminated their premises with
elegant and ingenious devices. All the theatres fol-
lowed the example. Even those exempt from the
authority of the Lord Chamberlain exhibited as bril-
liant displays, in honour of the young Prince, as the
patent theatres. The Surrey was loyal in the ex-
treme. On the outside of the building the managers
exhibited a large transparency of the Queen and
Prince Albert, with the motto of " Our English Rose
—the Bud—the Blossom," and also enjoined the poet of
the establishment to write two additional verses, to be
sung with the National Anthem at the rising of the cur-
t.l:n. In the City the illuminations were less frequent.
