body. This huge metropolis, as re-
suit, is crowded, and the gayest pos
sible season is in full swing. The
fashionable tradesmen are in their
glory, and smiling faces everywhere
bear testimony to the rush of busi-
ness, ripping of society and fiutter-
ing of fashion, which are making the
average West End shopkeeper
breathe signs OF satisfaction.
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 in
stance, London has not yet done
talking of the fact that few days
ago the Prince of Wales and his
brother, the Duke of Saxe-Co5urg-
Gotha Duke Of Edinburgh, followed
by the Duke of York, the heir pre-
sumptive, and his cousin, Prince Al
fred, of Xe-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 an everyday subject of her ma
jesty. Then, again, some of the
royal family are to be found nightly
at the theaters, fact which tends
to increase the pulling power of the
attractions presented, for the visits
Of royalty to places of amusement
are duly chronicled by the press, and
naturally the public wants to see
what royalty has enjoyed.
OF SOCIAL EVENTS
there is such large list that even
the society papers find space for
only the most prominent. Among
the latter is the grand dinner given on
Thursday last by Mr. and Mrs. Naylor
Leland, in honor of the Prince of
Wales. Naylor Leland, who recently
resigned his seat in the house of COM
mons, where he represented Col
chester, married MissrJennie Cham
berlain, the famous beauty, daughter
of w. S. Chamberlain, of Cleveland,
o. The partially of the Prince of
Wales for the society of Miss Cham
berlain was much, commented upon
by the society sheets. Among those
present at Mr.. and Mrs. Leland's
dinner we're the Austrian ambassador,
Count Deym de Streitz,,F Prince, Ed
wi Of Ioiy &c.
and Warehouses of Ormonde, the
Earl and Countess of Dudley, the
Earl Of Rosslyn and number Of
equally important personages. Nay
lor Leland's sister, Josephine, it will
be recalled, was married on April 80
The bride was given away by Mr..
Leland.
Of course the queens drawing room
of Wednesday was the great event of
the season. The weather was delight
full, cool breeze was blowing, and
the result was the most brilliant royal
display seen for long time past.
There was triple file of carriages
along the Mall, long before the hour
fixed for the drawing room, waiting
to take their occupants, to Bucking-
ham palace, and the vicinity of the
thronged with people anxious to get
glimpse of the dazzling show, 1t was
noticeable that black was the prevail
ing color, and now black seems to
be the fashion everywhere. The
GATHERING OF ROYALTY
at the drawing room was such one
as has not often been seen in London
for many years past, and included
the Prince and Princess Of Wales, the
Duke and Duchess of York, the Duke
and Duchess of SaXe-Co Coourg- -Gotfla,
the Duke and Duchess OF Connaught,
the Grand Duchess of Mecklenburg-
Strelitz, Princess Christian, Princess
Victoria of Schleswig-Holstein, the
Duke and Duchess Of Fife, the Prin-
cess Henry of Battenburg, the Mar
quis and Marchioness of Lorne, the
Duchess of Albany, the Duke Of Cam
bridge and the Duke of Saxe-Wei-
mar. Princess Alexandria,. third
daughter of the Duke of Saxe-Co-
burg -Gotfla, made her debut in the
royal circle. The queen regent of
Holland and her daughter, Queen
Wilhelmina, went to the palace by
special invitation of Queen Victoria,
who sent one of her carriages to
fetch them from Browns hotel, in
order to enable the young queen to
see her majesty in her robes Of state
previous to the opening of the cere-
monies. The two queens of Holland
dined with Queen Victoria the same
night at Buckingham palace, and had
lunch with her majesty on Thursday
morning, after which they started
for home.
The premier, Lord Rosebery, Is evi
IDENTIFY in very poor health. When he
was seen bidding farewell to the queen
of Holland, previous to their departure
for home, he looked ten years older
than he did six months ago. His face
was haggard and he leaned upon
stick. His breakdown on Wednesday
night, while making speech at the
reception of the National Liberal club,
has revived the worst rumors which
have been in circulation concerning his
health.
THE QUEENS VISIT
to London was as brief as usual, and
she returned to Windsor castle on
Thursday, the day following the day
of the drawing room. On Tuesday,
May 21, she will remove to Balmoral,
where she will remain for a month.
The Princess Of Wales, on behalf of
iler majesty, will hold the remaining
two drawing rooms of the season. The
princess is greatly changed, and now
looks quite an old woman. It is no.
ticed that the Duke Of Saxe-Coburg-
Gotha Is attending very many public
