there is nothing new in my line, except the
very gratifying fact that thus far this year
there have been but three fatal mine acct

To the Editor: In your issue Of the

IONDON's GREAT DAY.

Lord Mayors day is great day In
London. 1t is the day on which the
chief magistrate Of the city Is sworn in,
and the populace turns out In its hun
dreds of thousands to see the pageant.
There Is never any contest over the
selection of the lord mayor. He is al
ways the senior alderman, the Office
going to that body in rotation.

States for the ceremonies and the gor-
geous uniforms. costumes. liveries and
other accessories of what has been
known for several hundred years as the

twenty years or so 1T was customary
for the mayor to so from the city In
