London. May 1.-THE beautiful.
healthy spring weather which London
ers have revelled In for some time past
continues to delight everybody. This
huge metropolis. as a result, is crowd
ed. and the gayest possible season is In
full swing. The fashionable tradesmen
are In their glory. and smiling faces
everywhere bear testimony to the rush
OF business, the ripping of society and
the huttering of fashion. which are
making the average West End shop
Keeper breathe sighs Of satisfaction. OF
social engagements there is such
large list that even the society papers
only ind space for 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. Among those present
at Mr.. and Mrs. Naylor Leland's din
ner were the Austrian ambassador.
Count Deym de Stritez. Prince Edward
OF Saxe-Weimar. the Marquis and Mar
chioness of Ormonde. the Earl and
Countess of Dudley, Earl of Roselyn
and a number OF equally important
personages.
OF course the queens drawing room
or wednesday was the great event Of
the season. The weather was delight
full. n cool breeze was blowing and the
result was the most brilliant royal dis
play seen for a long time past. There
was a triple file OF carriages along the
Mall long before the hour fixed for the
drawing room. waiting to take their
occupants to Buckingham Palace and
the vicinity OF the queens London res
idence was thronged with people anx-
ious TO get a glimpse OF the dazzling
show.
The Americans presented to the queen
were: The widow of the late Senator
Hearst of California, and Misses Grace
and Bertha Potter daughters OF Mr..
Howard Potter; Miss Roby OF New

States ambassador. the Hon. Thomas
f. Bayard. Mrs. Bayard. Miss Bayard
and Lieutenant Commander w. s.
cowles. the United States naval at
tache.
The premier. Lord Rosebery. Is evi-
IDENTIFY In very poor health. His break
down on Wednesday night while max
ing a speech at the reception of the
National Liberal club has revived the
worst rumors which have been in cir
culation concerning his health. Lord
Rosebery. who looked pale and ia
tigued, evidently had a sudden lapse
of memory which caused him TO lose
the thread OF his argument, and he
gazed about In a dazed manner while
turning TO his friends for relief.
The queens visit to London was
brief as usual. as she returned to
Windsor Castle Thursday. the day fol-
lowing the drawing room. On Tues
day. May 21. she will remove the court
to Baimoral. where she win remain for
a month.

parliament for the Southport division
of Lancashire, reappeared in the house
of commons on Thursday for the first
time since his return from the United
States with his bride. He met with n
hearty reception. Mr.. Curzon was con-
graduated on all sides. and Mrs Cur
zon. formerly Miss Mary Letter OF
Washington. ID. c., promises to be the
most feted woman of the season.
In sporting circles there Is much
comment on the fact that all Of Rich
ard Crokers 2-year-olds except Mon
tauk have been scratched. and that not
one of Michael #. Dryers horses viii
race again until August The an
nouncement on Thursday last that
Harry Reed and Stonenell We're
scratched for the Jubilee stakes caused
much surprise. This was the first big
race for which the American horses
were entered. and 1t is one in which
they would have met some Of the En-
glish cracks.
