EPecial 10 THE MORNING CALL.

NEW ORR, Dec. 14.-Edmund Yates
special cablegram to the Tribune from Lon
don says: announced fortnight ago that
there is reason TO believe that the Queen
will open Parliament in person next year.
OF course nothing is yet definitely settled
on the subject. but as at present arranged
the Queen will terminate her residence at
Osborne February Sth and will proceed to
buckingham Palace. Parliament will be
opened by her Majesty on the 9th with Gus
tQmary ceremonials, and on the evening of
that day the Queen will go to Windsor Cas-
tie and reside there until her departure for
the Continent, al the end of March.
THE ROYAL WEDDING.
The announcement in the daily papers
respecting the time and place of the royal
wedding are the purest speculations, for
none of the arrangements have yet been
seriously discussed by the Queen and the
Prince Of Wales, with whom the decision
practically rests. The statement that the
Queen desired to have the wedding solemn
lied in st. Georges Chapel, at Windsor,
on March 10th, is Inaccurate, and it is far
more probable that the ceremony Will take
place in London. either at the Chapel Royal,
St. James Palace, where the Queen and the
Empress Frederick were married, or in the
private chapel of Buckingham Palace
which was last used when the Duke and
Duchess Of Fife were married. The we'd
ding is not likely TO take place before next
summer. understand that Parliament will
be asked to vote a small allowance for the
future Duchess of Clarence This is not
likely to be seriously opposed for the Duke
and Duchess Will have only go, coo a year,
whereas each of the younger sons of the
Queen began married life with a Par
liamentary allowance of s25, ,O00 and all had
other resources. 1t will also be necessary
to make provision for the future Duchess
Of Clarence in the event of her husbands
death, as lie has nothing whatever in his
power. and his income, which was granted
bv Parliament in 1889 for the family of the
Prince and Princess of Wales, is only for
his life.
DOM PEDRo's POVERTY.
Dom Pedro left very little money, and
Comte and Comtesse d'Eu depend entirely
upon the Due de Nemours, who allowed them
10000 francs a month, upon which they cln
live comfortably enough at Versailles. Tie
Somte and Comtesse will probably come TO
England early in the spring and take up
their residence at Bushey Park.
THE RURAL CONFERENCE.
The rural conference of which Gladstone
was the star was largely attended for the
excellent reason that the delegates were
generously paid for coming, and cattle-show
week is a period when such people like
very much to be in London. Each delegate
received a formal notification Of his ap-
pointment, which contained the pleasing
intImatiou: " Your expenses will be paid
BY the association" Nine-tenths of the
delegates we're either local preachers or dea-
cons.
MRS. MACKAY's CONCERT
1t was pleasant contrast to leave the de-
pressing gloom outside on Thursday after
noon and enter Mrs. Mackay's beautiful
house, with the delicate decorations effect
lively enhanced by the soft glow of the cleo
trio lights. The ballroom was crowded by
fashionable company brought together TO
listen TO the excellent programme provided
for the concert by Mrs. Dutton Cook. An
imposing array ofsartsts gave their services
on that occasion, and the concert was adj
mirably conducted by Wilhelm GAM. S5z&

UNLUCKY RACING STABLES.
Lord Dudley. several OF whose horses that
are IN training are being sold this week at

the sporting papers. OF high-priced stock did
little better, for the ffty-eight yearlings
sold at over 1000 guineas have not
won one-seyenth Of the 100000 guineas paid
for them. What loss that is those who
had to pay for their subsequent training en-
gagements, etc, have known to their cost
by this time. This is only what occurs year
after year, but there still appears to be
more people with money than brains, for
nearly forty yearlings have been sold this
season at prices running as high as 1000
guineas, and all the largo breeders, such as
Sir Tatton Sykes, Mr.. Chaplain. Lady
