QUEEN AT WINDSOR.
Said to Have Looked the Picture of
Health.

Windsor. Eng, June 11.-Queen Vic
toria arrived here from Balmoral at 9
o'clock Thousands of people lined the
route from the railroad station to the
castle Her majesty looked the picture
! of health and repeatedly bowed to her
cheering subjects.
Her majesty's bright and cheerful
aspect when she arrived gave emphatic
contradiction to the story published in
New York paper this week that she
had become totally blind.
In addition. il is learned that the
queen has personally read numerous
documents and programmes connected
with the jubilee festivities during the
past few days and that within the
same time she has with her own hand
written frequent corrections and alter
atoms. 1t is also known that her
majesty has recently corrected the
proofs of a new book on her reign.
AS TO her general health, evidence of
its being perfectly satisfactory for
woman of her age is furnished in the
fact that it was at first arranged that
IN returning to the palace on Jubilee
day, June %, the order of the process
sion would be reviewed in order to en-
able her majesty to turn at the earliest
moment, but she has now decided to
keep in the same place along the whole
route, thus involving another half hour
of fatigue in the streets.
