weather today the iehonored Lord
Mayors show" took place, and the new
lord mayor Of London, Mr.. Faudel Phil
lips. was formally installed in office,

of the late Sir Benjamin Samuel Phil
lips, who was alderman from 1857 to 1889,
and who served as lord mayor in 1866.
He was born in 1910, and succeeded his
father as alderman in 1888, having three
years previously filled the Office of sher-
iff of London and Middlesex. He has
been chairman of the special committee
on corporations, appointed to defend
the rights, privileges and existence Of
the city under the present conditions.
He holds high decorations from Belgium,
Servia, Persia and other countries. He
is the fourth lord mayor Of Jewish per-
suasion, his father having been the Sec
ond.

the hall was brilliantly lighted, showing
to the best advantage the glittering
uniforms of the men and the dresses
and jewels of the women.
Mr.. Bayard responded to the toast of
The Ambassador in the following terms:
Il am honored in being chosen to speak
for the corps of which / am an humble
member. 1 confess that until $50 this
evening 1 did not expect to be asked to
respond to a toast. However, I have
obtained an idea from a distinguished
diplomat, Lord Dufferin, who recently
said that the governments Of the world
were mass of palpitating. nervous sem
sations. The result he said. of bringing
together these sensations was to destroy
isolation, splendid or otherwise, and
to induce nations to feel and act as Ia
dies and gentlemen, with consideration
for each others feelings and interests.
The people / represent have made q
declaration in no narrow sense, and in ne
local or merely national sense, which
stands as verdict and declaration for
national honor speaking to the human
heart and mind in favor of that honesty
which is essential for the civilization Of
the world. You cannot today shock

does not perceive it does not realize the
truth and force of the day in which wo
live"
Mr.. Bayard concluded with the words:
God speed the city Of London"
Mr.. Bayard's remarks were received
with a tumult Of applause.
