LONDON, June 2G.-The Shah, 10 the great
delight OF his entertainers has gone on for couple u
days into the North. He IL % visit LiyerpOol anu mon
chester and 10 be the guest OF the Dnke OF onuf"u
at Trenthsm Hall. It.ak II he were wise ne woud not
return to London at all, The novelty 0f MS WISH
beginning to on; and when the BRUSH psDhc
has exhausted sensation. h has marvellous facnV
for forgetting the object OF its interest. However up
20 this time the Shah may fairly natter himself that he
Is the most popular man IN all England. Throughout
the whole OF a long experience a frequenter s0d
chroncler OF sights, reeOllect such eKtraord
nary eoneOurses OF people as have collected on every
occasion that the Shah has appeared in public. The
weather too been wonderfully favorable. and his
Persian Majesty has been able 10 make number
OF complimentary remarks about the splcndor
Of the British SUI, which may not nave
been entirely ronical. On Tuesday morning.
the day OF the Windsor review, the sky was overcast
and rain steadily at the usually fatal hour OF noon
But nothing stopped tho exodus Of the crowd toward
the ROYAL Borough From in the morning to In the
afternoon the Great Western Railway kept sending
trains off to Windsor after the other at intervals OF
quarter OF hour each one Of when cOhIalneu
average some fifteen hundred passengers Ihe
Southwestern line took nearly as many, and an eho-
nous quantity OF sightsoers drove in aud walked In
from the populous districts round about Windsor. Inc
road leading from the station to the PARK was blocked
throughout the day with endless procession OF drays,
Omnibuses, gigs, vans, cabs ana carts.
The review ground situated on an open expanse or
smooth greensward lying between the two grand
avenues OF the park-the Long Walk" aud queen
Anne's Ride" No prctter exercise ground could be
ina gned and from artists point Of view, nothing
could be more beautiful than the pictorial eff cts pro
duced by the relocated troops emerging from be-
meath the dense green foliage In the clear, bright even
ing sunshine With the proyerbal lack OF the Queen IN

when the Queen left the castle The hour % departure
fixed for 81 o'clock. But, owing to the shahs Train
being detained by block the ine IL was close spon
