symptom of sickness after going on
 board at Sydney. London is the same busy Interesting place l formerly knew. am located at Wandsworth, one of the pleasant suburbs, but go into Lon
 don every day, riding through Batter
 sea Park by the side of the river Thames, across Chelsea bridge, through Sloan street to Knights bridge on the top of the bus. Then l walk across Hyde Park to Oxford street. The walk across the park is perfectly lovely. On each side of the walk are scores of beds filled with tulips, hyacinths, prim- roses and narcissus, all in full bloom. The perfume is delightful, the per fume from the flowers in England be- ing much more powerful than in Am erica. l believe it is caused by the moisture of the climate. All the talk here now is of the queens jubilee. As l was here and saw the coronation in '37 of course I shall stay to see the cele- bration in '97 It is to eclipse any pre- Vious celebration, especially the illumi- nation in the evening. The people who have houses on the line of the process sion (and it is a long march) will make lots of money. A man yesterday paid
 1000 for the lease for one week of a house with forty-windoWs on the line Of the procession. Another man has given &4,000 for a plot of ground with a substantial brick building on it and agreed to pull down the building, fill the ground up with seats and then af-
 ter it is all over deliver 1t up to the owners with a in a place of the one pulled down. The peO- pie are simply crazy about seats. saw lady yesterday who had just
 been to inquire about some seats in a side street where the procession passed by the end of it, as if the procession
 were to pass up Chapel street and the seats were in Church street by Center
 street. Two guineas a seat was the lowest they would take If a person
 gets seat in a good position he will
 have to go and sit there several hours before the time or he will not be able tc | get through the crowd to occupy it.
 After Easter London will be very | lively, as the aristocraCy are coming | to town. Since '49 I have not been here in what is called the season." when
 the parks are filled with the finest equfpages in the world, and are occu-
 pied by the finest and handsomest mer
 and women in the world. I do not eX- | pect to get an introduction to the | queen or to get inside the palace, but
 I shall certainly avail myself of the
 opportunity of attending the queens drawing rooms and feasting my eye:
 on the splendid figures and dress O. | those who attend. High toned society
 is at its best here from Easter to Whit

RAILROAD NOTES.
The Summer Arrangements of the
 Shore Line.


 The New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad management is much gratifed by the popularity of the new 8 o'clock morning express train from New Haven to New York, which was put on last January, The people of New Haven and along the Hartford and Shore Line divisions which have trains connecting with this fast morn ing express, have accepted the new ar engagement with satisfaction and pat ronized it liberally.
 It will be remembered that when the announcement of this new train was ments would probably be made for run ming on the Shore Line trains from far ther east than Guilford to connect with this early express to New York, Per sons who are looking out for summer homes are already inquiring whether this promise will be made good.
 For the benefit of all persons the com pany announces at this early day that it is in contemplation to run an early morning accommodation train from Saybrook Junction week days during the outing season, which will arrive in New Haven in time for it's passengers to take the s a. m. express for New York, arriving in the metropolis at 9:30. Further,i it is intended on Monday morn ings, to run an express train from New London, starting from that city at GAG a. m. and stopping at East Lyme, South Lyme, Lyme and Saybrook Junction tC connect at New Haven with the early express train to New York. There will probably be connection with this train at New London from as far east as Stonington and Watch Hill, enabling gentlemen to spend Sunday with theil families at these resorts and get back | to business in the metropolis at 9:3O a m Monday morning, instead of 1915, as in previous seasons.
 These arrangements will go into ef- feet with the inaUguratio tion of the sum- mer schedule in June
