Is it not possible that a not unnatural
inclination on the part of the queen to
guard against exhibitions of snobbery
may be carried too farl I AM told that
when her majesty passed through Ports
mouth the other day On her return from
the continent, the whole resources of the
dock yard establishment were concen-
trated upon the enterprise of preventing
common eyes from gazing even for mo-
ment upon her majesty. Orders carefully
written out on large foolscap reached the
dock-yaId from the admiralty, directing
that no persons other than the select few
officially engaged should upon any pre-
tense whatever be allowed even to ap-
proach the railway jetty where the queen
would disembark. The admirable super
intcndent, improving upon these instruc-
lions, issued directions to the mastering
ger to prevent any of lis men assembling
at the windows of the rigging loft. The
keen eye of the admiral superintendent
had also taken note of the advantages
supplied by the colOr-loft Of permitting
an undisturbed view of the top of the
railway carriage in which the queen
