/ tn. Prince and Princess Of Wales are, how
ever. though in Paris more visible to Londoners
than II in London. This arises from the habit
.f the Iondon papers Of printing news of every
thing except what passes in London itself AS
che Paris paprs have exactly the contrary habit
and print only what happens in Paris, the opPor-
t,nity of hearing something about the Prince
4. 8 urecious one TO the majority Of his future
subjects They learn good many things that
happen only in the lively imagination OF the
French journalist. The Prince did, however,
ascend the Eiffel Tower all the way TO the third
story, whereupon an English journal m0raliIes
thus: Most English. Visitors will feel bound
20 follow his example All Americans Will, OF
course
One radical critic, more ingenious than his
fellows, has discovered that the Princes visit
70 the Exposition is meant 70 atone for the Ing
hsh Ambassadoxs absence from the opening
ceremony. Another, more radical still, makes
him the text Of an editorial entitled Princes at
, Premium and seems disposed to adopt the
heir 70 the throne rs kind Of popular leader,
quoting to that end a rather surprising remark
from religious American paper: namely, that

Il has long been foretold that the Duke of
portland's marriage to Miss Dallas YorlVe would
be the wedding of the season. You must go
several seasons back to find one that equalled
ID in general interest. The Duke Is young, r1ch,
popular and the greatest match in England His
bride Is young, not rich, beautiful and the most
ervied girl of the period. All Belgravia has been
crowded all day with ghtseers, FIRST at the church
and then at Lord Cranbrook's house in Grosvenor
Crescent, where the wedding breakfast was given.
! spare you all other details, even the English
list Of presents, published yesterday, and the Eng
lish list Of fashionable guests ct the church, and
the breakfast to-day.
As for holidays proper, this bids fair to be
Known In and about London ss the Wet Whftsun-
tide Even Mr. Gladstone had to put up with
rainy weather at Torquay. Nobody profted much
In and about London by yesterdays pleasure-mak-
ing except the publicans. The gin palaces were
crowded all the day and evening. Windsor Castle
and the Zoo," South Kensington and the Crystal
Palace could boast their thousands; the public
houses their tens Of thousands. Never was rail-
way traffic in the suburbs 30 moderate; never
holiday when the downpour was 50 steady The
railways In the West, however, had good time
Of IL with excursionists from dozen counties,
who wanted TO sec and hear Mr.. Gladstone Tor
quay overfowed with enthusiastic visitors. It Is
recorded that even the Tories were enthusiastic
In their greetings, and the sluggshness Of the
Southwest has been stirred as seldom before.
After delsys that most people thought would
prove interminable. the Chetwypd- Durham case has
st last been brought to trial or rather 70 arbtra-
ton. before the Stewards of the Jockey Club
Complicated as the case seems likely to be in de-
tail. tine esseIcc OF 1t is simple enough Lord
Durham accused Sir George Chetwynd Of unfair
practices on the turf especially OF what IA called
. In and out" running His horses and those Of
pther members In Mr.. Sherrards stables were. If
ron believe Lord Durham. made to win or lose as
,uited the interests of their owners. II they were
heavily backed ut good prices they won; II not
hey lost. Lord Durham is supposed 10 have re-
fssred specially 70 o horse named Fullerton. There
are other charges, some Of them relating 10 Sir
Georges alleged connection with Wood, Jockey
whose license TO ride was refused last year by the
gockey Club. An action for libel was duly brought
" Sir George against Losd Durham. The whole
szrf world and no sman part OF society are keenly
irterested in the result though when the hearing
began yesterday the audience was not large.
Sir Henry James leads fot Sir George and Sir
Charles Russell for Lord Durham whose friends
rejoice In the fact that Sir Charles has very
Sfacncal knowledge Of racing. Sir HeDry's
spening speech and Sir Georges examination In
chef ran naturally on the same lines, and their
stey sounded straightforward enouGh-perhaps
strsightes than most turf stories To-day Sir
George has bean under cross-exsnination, Sir
CAoxles trying TO show that his relations with
Wood and she runnine OF certain horses were such
