THE QUEEN'S VISIT

COINCIDENCES sometimes occur so often as to
procure a superstitious belief in their being re-
gular law. Thus, we suppose, that hardly any
one in England has not heard it remarked what
excellent weather falls to the lot of Her Majesty on
public occasions. As surely as bad weather is, by
the Londoners, prophesied from the announcement
of a Vauxhall fete, so surely good weather is
anticipated for a public appearance of the Queen.
In this she has hitherto been like Elizabeth, but
unfortunately her visit to Liverpool was an ex-
ception to " prove the rule." The enthusiasm of
the people, however, was in no way suppressed by
the unpropitious day, and for once, at least, we
may claim to apply to our loyalty the much used
quotation :
