Is somewhat OF q hitch in the proceedings Just now
and murmurs OF impatience are again breaking
forth, when an extra hearty burst OF cheers
proclaim the advent OF the Prince and
Princess OF Wales. The Prince is In generals
Uniform, with the green riband Of the Thistle

The State box has been taken right out 70 the
centre or the house. and In 1t Is seated the whole
party OF royal notabilities, with the Shah in the
centre. Every seat, nook and corner are occupied;
every eye Is turned towards the Oriental who
takes the stares with perfect serenity and calmly
continues his conversation with the Princess. Let
