On Wednes- day ih,. samuel Laing-engine, not chairman was ,ayly dcckcd with flowers. The Prince of Wales and his son both wore light gray coats with pink carnations in their button holes. The Princess of Wales came to Epsom in cardinal and crimson. Her daughters were ,lr rsscd in the coolest of foulard. Princess Mary of Trck looked very well in olive green. .ir Duke of Portland, in a short jacket looked anxious. Lord Hardwick maintained hi. reputation in tho matter of hats.

The Master of tho Horse was loudly cheered as he walked proudly by tho side of Ayrshire, just five min- ut"s rftor hc had laughingly declared 1t was rrni inn lla f<a fyaf wo{f fourth time the July week at Newmarket will ir deprived this year of one of its great fea- -trr-es as there will be no Blankney sale, in consequence of MT. Chaplin having sold his ninc best ycarlings to Lord Colthcrpe for 10- Do0. Mir, Chaplin has not sold his stock fin H lot since 1881, when the late Lord Wilton bought the whole team, but the average price wi,s much lower.
 THERE has been a lot of movement among great, odd, and notorious folks lately, and much could be written for those who like to know the doings of those whom they most frequently hear about. The Prince of Wales, who leads this great country, has been very busy changing his uniforms and costumes fast anI frequently. un response to official calls, he figured as Christian on Thursday, when he opennd the Christian Young Mems Gymnasium in London. The atmosphere sesmed new to him, and the speech was brief and he was bored. He said he hoped that young Christ ians who had assembled to wave dumbbells would reap the full benefit of their exercise and expressed in general terms his conviction that Christianity was good thing, and could not be gone in for too extensively. He was much bored when the young Christians began two hours twisting of themselves inside out, and his son Edward, who sat beside him, had l .,,kl,. ls ton to go to sleep.
 This young Prince wore a necktie so mar vclous that not to tell about 1t would be un- fair to to the young Americana who want to initiate princes. It was twice around of linen, thing which goes around tho neck twice and finishes in Q hugo bunch of dry goods under the chin. The colors were the most numerous. wild and startling that mans ingenuity can ever hope to get into one cravat. The young Christians who basked in tine royal gaze evidently envied the royal necktic.
 The Prince was much moro at homo at the grand Free Masons' gathering in Albert Hall. He looked a true plump and jolly Mason in his georgeous Grand Masters regalia. The affair was grand success, and the collection for Masonic charities, it is believed, the big gest ever taken up. The huge building rang when the Prince announced thatit amounted to nearly 60,0OO and 1t rang again when he read aloud immediately after 1t arrived O telegram of felicitations from the Grand Lodge of New York.
 THE report that the Car is to be crowned Emperor of Central Asia at Samarcund by way of offsetting Queen Victoria's Indian title is not unlikely, nor would the coronation bs merely the piece of fummery that it at first appears. It Is reported that 1t gratifies tho Queen to be called Kaisar-i-Hind, and to be able to sign herself Victoria R. l." though ia is doubtful whether the assumption has any more solid advantages. But there was no actual investituFe in India, while a corona tion at Samaround, with the pomp that Russia would give to 1t, would, without doubt be a clever political stroke. It would create a deep impression of the Russian power among the populations already subject to Russia, and among the populations of the debatable land whom it is still more desirable to impress. A ruler who despises ceremony and display forogocs the readiest method of gaining con. trol over tho people in the stage of develop. ment of those Asiatics for the control of whom Russia and England are now striving.
 AT n meeting of the Royal Society at Bur. lington House on Wednesday, the most inter. esting of many interesting exhibits was Henry Burns's glass nests of live ants. All the elaborate internal economy of the insects was brought fully into view. In one cell was queen with servants attending upon her. In another were aphides or ant COWS watchfully hcrded by their keepers, and a party of work men were engaged in walling up an intruding queen placed in a nest that morning. The state of ant civilization was so remarkably high that nobody would have been much sur prised at Q party of scientific ants in specta- cles taking notes on the Royal Society.
 THE passport annoyance on the Alsatian frontier is less serious than it at first threat ened to be. Travellers on through trains are not molested at the frontier. Through ar. rangcments made by the railway companies and the elaborate instructions in the news. papers hero it is easy to reach German, Swiss and Austrian cities without crossing tho Frnco-German frontier at all.
 A PART of the watch of the Prince Imperial who was killed in zululand, has turned up in a HoIborn jewelry store. It is somewhat bat. tered, but bears the crown of the Empress Eugenie and monogram. Itwas bought six years ago in Kimberley from Zulu.
 THERE was some heavy play at Baccaras during the Manchester race meeting One night noble lord lost ZIG 900. but got it back within q 200 before morning.
