House OF Commons have brought their

The month of August. The consensus of
opinion is that the new Parliament con-
tains much good society material. there
being among the members of the House
of Commons an abnormal number OF
young and wealthy men.
The speech of the Duke of Marlborough
on Thursday, in the House of Lords. IN
moving the address in reply to the
; Queens speech, is regarded as very clev-
er. and has won for the Duke the COM
pliments from all parties. The London
representative of the United Press learns
that it is the Dukes intention 10 leave
London for visit to the United States
in the course of a few weeks, taking
. with him only one servant. His object
in making the visit is to see the coun-
try. for which he entertains a great ad-
nsration, which his steprother now Lady
William Beresford, encourages.
DRESSED LIKE A SANE MAN.
Despite the heavy rain storms which
occurred during the entertainment of
Emperor William. Of Germany, by the
Earl of Lonsdale. his Majesty's visit was
a decided success. On the 18th instant
the Kaiser shot fifty brace of grouse.
The Emperor greatly astonished his
suite by appearing in an ordinary shoot
ing suit. instead of the theatrical attire
that he wears on his cunning expedi-
tons in Germany. This consists of
braided tunic. high boots and a Tyre
lean hat adorned with feathers. These.
however. His Maiessy discarded on this
occasion. having ordered from Lcndon
tailor couple of hunting suits. gray
5sh brown in color and of pattern
similar 10 the Prince Of Wales shoot
ing dress The Kaiser. it is said, has
decided to adopt this costume for hunt
ing and his example will be followed
by majority of his suite.
His Majesty, during his visit to En-
gland. gave grave offense TO Nasrulla
khan the Afghan Prince who has for
some time past been in England. by fail
ing to ask the Prince to meet him and
by not sending him any message or
letter The position of the Prince ex-
cites public curiosity It is known that
he mas received an almost unlimited
nrr1,ber of hints from the Queen to leave
England. and that she has told him that
he need not again visit any member of
the royal family and so Nasrulla never
leaves the grounds of Dorchester House
where he is staying. The governments
Of the countries. also. which it was
Nasruiia's intention to visit. have all
politely refused to receive him The
refusal of the Sultan of Turkey has been
made public In it the Sultan states that
in compliance with a request of NJ. Nell
doff. the Russian Ambassador to Turkey,
he cannot receive the son of the Ameer
if he should carry out. his intention to
visit Turkey.
Turf circles are still indignant over the
account of the interview with Mr.. NJ.
f. Dwyer, cabled from New York. The
member of the Tattersalrs Committee,
to whom the cabled account of the in
terview was shown recently, said after
having conversed with a number Of per-
sons in the paddock at Kempton Park
"The opinion here is that Messrs.
Croker and Dwyer failed in thinking
they could play the same game here as
they play in America and use their
money as a power to command other
owners. There are too many big in
dependent men here who understand
racing thoroughly for such plans to
succeed. The practice of putting horses
worth f1,500 in races, the winner of which
is to be sold for f2OO, is an old business
The Marquis of Hastings introduced it
thirty years ago, and plunging, made
heavy winnings Nowadays, however,
the bookmakers keep a sharp lookout for
such moves and, when they are dis
s covered. cramp their prices accordingly.
The member, when asked if Mr.. Gro
ker would make his English racing pay,
said that was different matter. Charley
Morton, who formerly trained Squire
Abingdon Baird's horses, and who is now
in Mr. Crokers employ, is a clever train
er and adviser and may win a lot
of money for his employer. Mr.. Croker
remains at Newmarket, where ne passes
his time in close attention to his horses.
He, however, makes frequent visits to
I.owestoft where his wife and other
members of his far3'.y, are spending the
holidays. If he watches events in the
political field OF New York, he does not
give any sign of the fact. In the course
of an interview with him on Friday.
Mr.. Croker said in reply to a question
in reference to the recent dissensions
among the New York Police Commis-
sioness. that he had nothing to say upon
the subject.
