the latter 1t was series of victories for fhvuEi ites, the only sensational event being theover1 throw of Seabreexe by Phil. The betting vss very heavy and bookmakers who found lev packers for outsiders were unfortunate almost for the first timc this season. Much moro in- teresting, however, than the mere running waa the social as ,ect of the race course. Every class in England was represented there. but more especially that class which styles ffself upper" Rows of drags were stretched eev- eral deep beside the grand stand and thous- snds upon thousands came down every day in trains. It would be easier 10 mention pro- minent people who were not there than those who were. The latter were so much more
 numerous. The only danger to the weeks
 meeting was the rain of Friday and the
 omission of the usual ceremonies at the arr
 rival on the course of the Prince and Princess of Wales, which had to be left out on account oi the German Emperor's condition This is supposed 10 have dampened the festivities. but didn't notice that it did so particularly. What proved much more of a damper was the unusual strictness of Lord Coventry, master of the buckhounds, who hsd to refuse many thousands of applications 10 the royal en- closure, and caused much heartburning by | forcing the gay men and women of fashion 10 waste their elaborate toilets on the plebeian | grand stand and lawn.
 | It is useless to deny that under cover of assumed confidence the death of Emperor | Frederick has caused feeling in France very much like dismsy. It was impossible not to notice the silent agitation which pcrvaded
 the Chamber of Deputies when the death was
 announced. It is worthy of remark thai not | a single journal published an exaggerated
 statement or 8 premature account of the

 consequences. Rightly or wrongly. the new
 Emperor is regarded as being animated by 6
 bitter hatred of France and a desire 10

 culled upon the battlefield at the expense of
 his hereditary foe. II A person who saw the Emperor al Char

 "0ne of the most consoiing circumstances
 of my severe trial is to be shown in what is

 and only remember those that are good Their present state of feeling makes me hats war more than ever did in my life"
 Colonel King -Harman,s death ends, or ought to end. the bitter dispute in the House o Commons about his salary. His enemies say that his Under r-Secretaryship for Ireland kill ed him. It did nothing of the kind. The Par nellites werc angry with him because he would l not be angry with them. They called him ( f renegade. He was no doubt Home Rulel l under MT. Butt when Home Rule meant mucl less than it means under MT. ParneIl; but h, l was no renegade. "The Daily News |" use his death as the text of an article which fo
 downright brutality has seldom been sur passed.
 t MT. Bond resigns the principle librarian i. ship of the British Museum for reasons whicl a do him honor. He wishes to make way for 8 younger man before he loses his own vigor 3 Yet he is but seventy-three. He has been good librarian and fairly successful as head o
