Commander Chadwick, naval attache of
the American Legation, was present; also,
Lieut.. Commander Goodrich, who will
take the Alert to America. Mr.. Lowell

the Earl of Northbrook responded. He
said the Queen took deep interest in the
expedition in which the Alert was to share,
| and had felt great pleasure in authorizing
the offer of the Alert to the American
Government. A toast was then proposed
| to the success Of the expedition, with
which was coupled the health of Lieut..
Goodrich.
The Earl of Euston, future Duke of
Grafton, is about to seek o di-

have another wife, and when she learned
| this she abandoned him. The case
| promises to be exceedingly interesting.
