LONDON, July 1.-The wedding of Prin-
cess Maud of Wales to Prince Charles of
Denmark has finally been fixed for July
22. The queen will attend the ceremony.
and 1t has been practically decided that
the young couple will traverse London
while on their way to Sendringham, in
order to enable the masses to greet them.
The trousseau, which has been prepared
by various English and Irish houses. is
almost completed. The work has been un-
der the personal supervision of the Prin-
cess of Wales. who has allowed a number
OF lady reporters to Inspect 1t. The we'd
ding gown is Of white satin with a deep
belt Of silver embroidery, studded with q
delicate design in brilliants. The material
was woven at Spital1ields.
1t would take columns of space to briefly
describe the host of charming costumes,
ETC.. adapted to all occasions, which have
been prepared for the popular princess.
The costumes are chiefly tailor-made and
include bicycling costume Of fawn-col-
ored venetian cloth. with a narrowish
SKIRT having little pockets at the hem to
hoid shct intended to keep the dress in
place.
Among the numerous hats Of the princess
Is ieather-hued Tam O'Shanter, in addi-
tion 10 number of fancy straws for BIZ
endless variety and hose Of the finest silk,
with beautiful designs in embroidery and
open work. Besides innumerable indoor
evening shoes and slippers of the most
deilcate and beautiful materials. there is
one pair Of slippers wrought in brilliants.
me number of outdoor shoes and CATERS
Is unusually large and all the leather shoes,
either Russian or kid. have thick soles and
low heels. Some of them are very HIGH
running up to fifteen buttons for real hard
work. Every pair Is fitted with light pol
lshed boot trees. brass-plated, and en-
graved on the plates are the arms and ini-
mark.
The Princess of Wales. among other gifts,
has presented her daughter with a superb
circular Russian cape Of purple velvet.
lined throughout with the finest sable and
having deep sable collar.
Sale of Race Horses.
AS a coincidence, two of the most famous
English studs were sold at auction this
week, and over-excited the racing world in
the anxiety OF its members to obtain pos
session of one more of the famous
horses. Hence. Unexpectedly high prices
were reached, and the influx Of successful
spectators in the cycling boom and Afri-
can mines as we'll as numerous foreign
racing men kept the game lively.

promotion of bicycling companies The
total sale produced 1880 guineas for fifty
four animals. and the sale of the late
Baron Hirsch's stud realized Alb guineas

Magnates were at the sale. in addition to
the Marlboroughs. Curzons. Lord Lonsdale

succeeded in obtaining several OF them.

ell a price for the mare. but Lady SykcS
gave Lord Marcus Beresford. who pur-
chased her for Sir Tatton, carte blanche.
and 1t now seems that the lady's husband
persists in his refusal to take La Fleche
1t looks, therefore, as though the famous
mare Of the late Baron Hirsch will be re-
auctioned. in which case Lord Marcus
Eeresford may have to find the difference
in the prices If he fails to realize rs much
as he bought her for. incidentally, 1t Is
generally admitted that the price paid for
La Fleche was too high. The total realized
for ten mares was 27,OCO guineas
1t appears that 1t was Mrs. Langtry who
objected to Mr.. Enoch Wishard's Mac
briggs being adju6ged the winner Of the 15O
sovereigns plate on Wednesday, on the
ground that the horse had won over 500
suineas IN America. and was. therefore,
not qualified to enter for that event. The
objection, however, was overruled.
