Royalty Galore.
Seldom has London been graced by
| the presence in town of so many mem
bers of the royal family. Royal per-
sonages, male and female, young and
old, are to be seen in carriages and
even on foot, at every turn in the
fashionable thoroughfares. For instanft.
London has not yet done talking of DE
fact that a few days ago the Prince of
Wales and his brother, the Duke of
Sake oburg- Gotha Duke Of Edinburgh
followed by the Duke of York, the heir
presumptive and his cousin, Prince AL
fred, of Saxe-Coburg Gotha, who Is said
to have been selected to marry little
Queen Wilhelmina of Holland when the
proper time arrives, were seen strolling
arm in arm through Pail Mall as calmly
and contentedly as any everyday subject
of her majesty. Then again some of the
royal family are to be found nightly at
the theatres, fact which tends to in
crease the power Of the attractions pre-
scented, for the visits Of royalty to places
of amusement are duly chronicled by the
press and naturally the general public
wants to see what royalty has enjoyed.
Social EnjOyments.
Of social enjoyments there is such
long list that even the society papers
only find space for the most prominent
Among the latter is the grand dinner
given on Thursday last by Mr.. and Mrs.
Naylor Leyland, in honor of the Prince
of Wales. Mr.. Naylor Leyland, who re-
Gently resigned his seat in the house OF
commons, where he represented Col
chester, married Miss Jennie Chamber
lin, the famous beauty, daughter of H.
Partially of the Prince of Wales for the
society of Miss Chamberlin was much
commented on by the society sheets.
Among those present at Mr.. and Mrs.
Naylor Leyland's dinner were the Aus
trian ambassador, Count Deym de
Stritoz Prince Edward Of Saxe-Weimer.
the Marquis and Marchioness of Ormond,
the Earl and Countess Of Dudley, the
Earl of Rosslyn, and a number of equal
ly important personages.
Mrs. Naylor Leyland's sister, Jose
phine, it will be recalled, was married on
April 80 last to ]. Scarisbrick, esq, of
Lancashire The bride was given away
by Mr.. Naylor Leyland.
Queens Drawing Room.
OF course the queens drawing room
on Wednesday was the great event Of the
season. The weather was delightful, a
cool breeze was blowing and the result
was the most brilliant royal display seen
for a long time past.
The Americans presented to Queen
Victoria ait the drawing room, were the
widow of the late Senator Hearst, of
California, who was presented in the
diplomatic circle, and Misses Grace and
Bertha Potter; Miss Roby, of New York,
and Mrs. Walter Winans, who were pre-
scented in the general circle. Among those
present were the United States ambas-
sador, the Hon. Thomas T. Bayard, Mrs.
Bayard, Miss Bayard, and Lieutenant
Commander w. 5. Cowles, the United
States naval attache.

had lapse of memory which caused him |
to lose the thread OF his argument and he |

turning to his friends for relief. Under |
the prompting Of the latter, he succeed |
ed in terminating his discourse; but it !
was only by a great effort that he did |
so, after having been strongly urged to
continue. 1t is true that the premier
had previously done a heavy days work. |
He was at the foreign office in the
morning and had attended the drawing

,eption of the National Liberal club.
But the significant feature of his con-
1ition was his utter forgetfulness of
waht he was saying and intended to say.
Ind this cannot be accounted for by his
fatigue alone.

lalf of her majesty. Will hold the remain
ng two drawing rooms soon.
The princess is greatly changed and
low looks quite an old woman. 1t is
noticed that the Duke of Saxe-Coburg-
Iotha is attending very many public
functions, and that he seems specially
anxious to win popular favor This is
n view of the continued growing Of the
'adicals and others over the pension
which he receives from the British tax
layers, in spite of the fact that he is a
eigning prince of Germany. But the
fforts of the duke to win popularity are
ar from being successful and in spite of
lis presence at public functions, he is
most unpopular. Under the heading of
Arrogance of Royalty" a person sign
ng "'Play-Goer' has written to a news
'aper saying that the audience at the
criterion theatre on Wednesday was
-ept waiting for an hour because some
f the royalties were dining late
The letter continued: "It turned out to
