LONDON, April 13.-There was a
general exodus from London Thurs
day last, everybody who could do so
hurrying away to the country or sea-
side for the Easter holidays. The
fashionable houses of the metropolis
are, as a rule, closed for the present,
and Brighton and other seaside re-
sorts are packed with holiday max
ers. The Princess of Wales has
abandoned her contemplated jour
ney to Denmark, where she was to
visit her parents, and, instead, fam
lily party, including the Duke and
Duchess of York and the Duke and
Duchess of Fife, has been assembled
at Sandringham for the Easter holt
days.
Parliament will not meet again un-
It'll April %, which may give time for
a change in the political atmos-
phere. The situation is now charged
with electricity, and a rupture be-
tween the Conservatives and Lib
eral-Unionists is predicted. There
are growing differences in policy be-
tween the Rt. Hon. A. j. Balfour,
the Conservative leader in the house
of commons, and the Rt. Hon. JOS
eph Chamberlain, the leader of the
Liberal UnionistS. The latter is
known to be bitterly aroused over
the recent criticisms on his conduct
that have appeared in Conservative
newspapers, and as a result he has
sounded note of warning in his
newspaper organs. There is no
doubt that the Liberal Unionists are
BECOMING ALARMED
at the leanings of certain prominent
members of the Conservative party
toward what is known here as fair
trade. The Birmingham Post the
other day, discussing this feature of
the Conservative policy, declared
that IF free trade and free coinage
are to be put in the balance against
an Irish national parliament, then
we say that the latter would be an
infinitely lesser evil than a return
to protection"
Those who are in charge of the
strlng OF American horses belonging
to Mr. Croker and Mr.. DIVER. of
New York, which are now in active
training at Newmarket for a num-
DER OF important events of the rae
ing season here, are reticent CON
cernlng the date of their first ap-
pearance in public. But the Amer
Ican horses are beginning to he
looked upon with more respect than
when they first landed in England
at the end of January last. Conse-
Quently the chances of StonenelI.
Dobbins, Don Alonzo, Banquet, Har-
ry Reed, Montauk and others are
being quietly discussed by the
sporting fraternity.
CROKER'S HORSES IN FAVOR.
'"Tee Man of the World" the New
market correspondent, in the mid
weekly edition of the Sporting Times,
considered by some people to be the
leading sporting paper in England,
referring to the prospects of American
horses SAYS: 1.-The Americans are
gradually coming in favor at New
market, as their trials progress. They
are certainly a fine looking lot, and
there are already several good Judges,
who think they may give us trouble.
1t ever handicap horses are bad,
Stonenell may cut us up as easily as
Parole and Foxhall did a few years
ago. At any rate have seen enough to
make me regard them as dangerous. )"
There promises to be good mar
ket for Canadian horses in England
On Thursday last, sixteen horses
shipped here by J. A. Walker, Of
Ontario sold at prices which ranged
from $12O to 5000. Three other con-
signments are already booked for
shipment
1t is announced that the lists of the
April drawing room have been en-
tirely filled, and many Americans
who anticipated being presented at

pointed, and have to await some
future opportunity.

Vanderbilt, and Miss Gertrude Van

gregation,
