Latest London GOssip-Exciting Scenes
in the House of Commons, Etc.
Nelo York World, 10Th.
The weather to-day has been rather fine.
1t looked at one time as though it would
rain. Towards evening it did rain, but
rain has grown so common in London
during the past fifteen years that very few
people pay attention to it. As the MAORI
ty of our metropolitan citizens carry UNI
brellas, very little damage was done.
There was a parade of the Coaching
Club in Hyde Park this afternoon. A
large crowd was present to witness the
magnificent display, As the procession
was passing around the end of the Ser
pentine the off leader of Lord Drum
coolies coach got his left leg over the
trace, and but for the skill of the driver in
applying the brake and stopping the team
a serious accident would have occurred.
AS it was, Lady Blessington Mcguire,
who was ON the coach, tainted, and as she
fell she struck her head against the point
of Lady Editha Morningglory's parasOl,
and if it had gone four inches further it
would surely have penetrated the skull.
i understand that the Prince of Wales
won 100000 at the Ascot races this week.
He has paid off several of his old debts.
The Prince is growing more popular every
day. All the Americans who meet him
tious manner. Those of us who have
known him a great while are really very
much attached to him. By the way. the
Prince has just finished cOloring new
meerschaum pipe, the gift of the Crown
Prince of Sweden. / need hardly add
that it is a beauty.
Matters in Parliament have been very
lively during the week. While the debate
was raging in the House last night on the
@s-h i
to Mr.. Bla therstone, who represents a
borough in NOttinghamshire, "Stag the
downy cove" Mr.. Joyce Burioyce sprang
to his feet and shouted: 81 see strangers
in the gallery" WhereupOn the Speaker
ordered the galleries cleared. At this
juncture Lord Randolph Churchill came
in wearing new pair of mauve trousers
and sat down on an inkstand which had
been carelessly left on bench by the Hon.
Mr. Chump. For moment il looked as
though there would be a dismal distur-
bance, but the Chancellor of the Elk
chequer gave Lord c, an order for new
pair of trousers and the matter was adj
iusted,
At the Mutton Chop Club on Tuesday
evening a serious passage occurred be-
tween young Lord CastletOn and the Mar
quis of Comeagain. The gentlemen had
dined together, and while at coffee became
llNOiNcu III Il D6dIeU ulScuSSlO0 TelaIlNe
to the shape of the earth. Lord Castleton
stOutly maintained that the earth was fiat,
and offered to wager $4,000 on the cor
rectness of his views. In the heat of the
argument he struck the Marquis with a
pair of sugar tongs, whereupOn the Mar
quis reached over the table and caught
him by the nose. The skin pulled off the
organ entirely, and / am told that his
lOrdship's appearance was very much i'm
proved. 1t is due to both nOblemen to say
that they had been drinking.
A feeling of sadness was created here
this morning by the bulletining of a dis
patch at Reuters from Balmoral an
nouncing that the Queen was lying at
the point Of sickness and not expected to
live from one end to the other. | am per-
sonalIy assured by the Duke of Albany
that Her Majesty is as.well asIshe was the
day before yesterday, and that there is
not the slightest ground for apprehension.
/ hear it reported that several weddings
IN high life viii occur during the coming
month. Lord BOBBY, a very bright young
man and the best lawn-tennis player in
the realm, will marry the daughter of
Earl c.,
| forgot to say that there is really no
news here this week, though l learned in
cidentally at TattersalPs that the Duke
of Newcastle's splendid race mare Biddy
Magoozle gave birth to a fine colt about
four months ago. She is at present
stabbed at Newmarket.
