go to the continent or the grouse moors.

season on Monday, after which he will
visit in the neighborhood Of Goodwood
and attend the races there Later in the
he will remain fortnight on board the
royal yacht Osborne. Frow Cowes his
royal highness will go to Marienbad.
The season has been the most pros
porous that has been experienced in re-
cent years. The tradesmen have had rich
harvests. for people have evidently had
plenty Of money to spend for things that
are necessary Of life. The great auk's egg
sold on Thursday brought 300 guineas,
and at the same sale Japanese dwarf
tree fetched 80 guineas, and other curiosi-
ties We're sold for correspondingly high
prices. The best evidence Of the prevail
ing prosperity, however, is the sale of pic
lures at the royal academy, the number
sold and the prices realized being far
above the average, although the produce
tions were below par.
A series Of brilliant marriages have
materially assisted business, as can be
judged from the list of presents at the
marriage on Thursday of the marquis Of
Tullbardine and the daughter of Sir
James Ramsey, which almost rivaled
those of the Crew Primrose wedding.
Costly and novel presents We're fairly
showcred upon the bride and bridegroom
The prince Of Wales sent the bride a
beautiful adaptation of the Partisan fad
of allowing chained living creatures to
wander about the wearers shoulders.
This adaptation consis of a small brooch
pin with a large central pearl, to which
is attached by gold chains set with pearls
large jeWeled flies, one of diamonds and
emeralds and another of diamonds and
rubies, each of which is fastened to the
dress like brooch.
The approaching marriage of Crown
Prince Danielo of Montenegro and Prin-
cess Kutta of Mecklenburg-Strelit will
be celebrated with splendor unprecedent-
ed in the land of the Black mountains
The bride will arrive at Antariva on Sum-
day, and her formal conversion to the
Greek orthodox faith will occur a few
days later in a private house specially
consecrated for the purpose. There is
only bride path from Antariva to Get
inje, and the princess will therefore per-
form the journey to the Montenegran
capital on horseback. She will be ac-
companied by her future brother-in-law,
!, p,.;,, ,fN
cess Helene of Montenegro. The pros
pective bride and her suite will enter
Cetinje on Wednesday night, and the
wedding will take place on the following
day. Great festivities are being pre-
pared in honor of the event.

future of the club. The objects of the

this week in the course of an action for
debt tried at Brackley. which have an in
terest for Americans, as they concern
church affairs at Sulgrave, Northamp-
tonshire village which is visited annually
by scores of Americans on account of To-
cal memorials of the Washington family.
The church warden was accused of coll
lecting a pittance from visitors to the
church in order to obtain money to pay
his private debts This has caused quite
a sensation, and the matter will be taken
up by the church officials
The weather has entirely reVolutiGil-
lied the clothes and habits of Londonels.
Their straw hats are deemed too heavy,
and in the city scores of smart members
of the stock exchange are to be seen in
what is known as the milkman's hat. Tais
article is made of thin white linen with a
broad brim. The ciearest evidence of the
