although Mr. Reid is the only man IN the
great company of the queens guests who
has worn an ordinary suit of clothes,
that and his squash" hat have only

has shown how the sovereigns of our

good time.

glorious Mr.. Reid Is said TO nave peep
the happiest man in London during the
ceremonies Gen. Miles has been a good
second, and has pressed him close Tor the
first place but Mr.. Reid has had an ad-
vantage in the fact that Mr.. Chauncey NJ
Depew, who was dying TO come mere as
special ambassador, has been wandering
around the corridors of the hotels looking
for somebody to entertain him, has not
been invited 70 any of Queen Victoria

cheer, which was promptly responded TO
upon the royal yacht and was immediate
ly communicated to the other ships, until
several hundred thousand people who Wit
messed the spectacle were shouting at the

the men-of-war were playing Yankee
