The Danish Royalties.


At Copenhagen the King and Queen,
with the Prince Royal and Prince Val
demar and their families, inhabit the
Amaiienburg Palace, and in summer
they live at the Chateau of Bernstorff;
but when there are large family gather
ings they are obliged to go to the Fred
ericksberg Palace, which is large
enough to accommodate, on a pinch, all
the royal children and grandchildren.
Situated on Lake Esrom and surround
ed with hills and woods, this princely
Chateau of Peace" is in a most at
tractiye spot. The building which con-
sists of a central pavilion and two
wings, is very plainly furnished, but has
some masterpieces III its gallery.
In the Kings reception room there is
magnificent white bearskin, given him
by the Gar, and in his study the most
prominent object is large photograph
of the Empress of Russia, who is her
fathers preferred child. The Princess
of Wales is her mothers favorite, and
both being fine musicians, pass hours
together at the piano. The civil list of
the Danish King is not large, and when
the Princess Alexandra complains each
year about the same old instrument
upon which she used to drum in her
girlhOod days, Queen Louise smilingly
tells her that with such a large family
she has been obliged to be very eco
nomical in the way of Injuries.

A young couple, not long ago. received
an invitation to an early dinner given IN
honor of an Eastern college professor.
The guests were most Of them former
students OF the professor, and the stu

most informal affair.
In discussing the important subject Of
what to wear, the young wife, who be-
longed TO family of high social position,
and was well up in all these little
matters which so clearly define the diff
ference between the Weli-bred and
those who do not always do the right
thing IN the right way, urged her hus-
band to wear plain suit.
But, not having been married long
enough to know that his wife's advice
had any particular value, he declined to
be guided by her opinion, and donned n
full-dress suit for the occasion.
However, at the house of their friend,
when her husband joined her to escort
her to the parlor, he rather neryously

A Novel Prize Fight.

FROM the New l Ork sun.
An Italian came down First Avenue
this morning carrying under his arm an
elliptical board. Perched upon his
shoulders were two monkeys tr!cked
out in red COATS and black trousers. At
Ninth Street he placed the board on top
of a coal box and sprinkled it with saw
dust from a pocket of his overcoat He
then gave a command in Italian to the
monkeys, and down they leaped from
his shoulders onto the board. AT an
other command they took off their little
red coats and passed them to their
master.
The one thing that looked rather in
congruous about these pugiists-for
such they were was that instead of the
fighting belt their little black trousers
were held up by diminutive suspend
ers. The two little fighters now retired
to their respective corners, folded their
arms with dignified solemnity, and
bllnked at the big crowd around them.
The Italian brought forth a set of tiny
boxing gloves. each measuring ab, ut
an inch across the palm, and not more
than two inches from wrist TO finger
tips. He put them upon the paws of
the monkeys, and then with a courteous
wave of his hand. he commanded his
proteges to shake hands.
They advanced to the middle of the
ring, shook paws and promptly assumed
pugilistic attitudes. They boxed pretty
well for monkeys; in fact, much better
than pair of girls could. One fellow
had a longer reach than the other. and
in the first part of the fight he Knocked
his adversary down twice by bows upon
the mouth. But the latter had more
grit, and the fight gradually turned in
his favor.
Meanwhile, the Italian was passing
around the hat, and everyone gave
something. The crowd, all worked up
with the exhibition, cheered the fight
ers and shouted all sorts of advice to
them. But the little fighters were too
interested i'll each other to heed any
suggestions.
They pummelled away five minutes,
when both began to weaken, end their
master then declared the fight
"drawa."
He then assisted the principals into
their little red coats again, tucked up
the board arena under his arm, perched
the monkeys on his shoulders, and wan
dered down the avenue, with the mon
keys occasionally slapping at each other
and showing their teeth.
