LONDON, June n.-Preparations for seeing the
Queens Jubilee procession arc far advanced and
the London newspapers are full Of interesting
advertisements OF seats, windows and rooms for
sightseers along the route. Every foot ii the
line Of the procession will be used for this pur-
pose either through the direct letting of the
windows, roofs and rooms or else by the erection
OF stands. No one pretends to offer a seat for less
than a guinea, no matter where it may be situ-
ated. and in all the moro choice places along the
route the prices begin at Eve and run up to thirty
guineas for single seats. while 100 guineas is
considered q modest price TO ask for q room with
two or three windows and a chance for perhaps
. dozen persons to get glimpses OF the show.
Choice boxes. 1t is said. have sold for SIS 1000
for one days use, and the big prices have led to
much wild speculation. At two corners along
tho route Of the procession spectators have
agreed to replace old buildings with new ones,
with no other pay than what they can get by
renting the premises during jubilee week to
sightseers-

their accommodations for the day. there are
evidences in many Of the advertisements that

which cost from S25 to $3.50 each. will have
