Railway station for the EPSON races by
special train about one o'clock this
afternoon. The Count of Munster, the

sentative of the British army and navy

clubs have followed the example of the
United Service in inviting the General to
become an honorary member. Among
the political clubs the way has been led
by the Reform.

LONDON, June ..
Gen. Grant was entertained last night
at a grand banquet given in his honor by
the Duke of Wellington. 1t was a
splendid and hearty reception. The
General was given precedence in the hon.
ors of the evening, escorting the Duchess
of Wellington to supper and to the re-
ception.
The Prince of Wales gave private
audience to the ex-President to-day at
Marlborough House. The Queen has
given orders to the Lord Chamberlain to
waive the usual presentation ceremonies
out of regard to the nations guest, and
extend to Gen. and Mrs. Grant invita-.
tions to all court entertainments. This
is almost unprecedented.
Gen. Grant and Minister Pierrepont at
tended the funeral services of J. Lothrop
Motley, the historian, at Westminster
Abbey to-day, and listened to a sermon
by Dean Stanley. The reverend gentle
man in the course of his sermon said
England welcomes Gen. Grant as a
pledge that the two nations of the Anglo
Saxon race are still one in heart and
spirit.
