lHIOuStu Tie euClCSult at the ISNlSW VI
troops at Aldershot Monday, judging
from the frequent references to the
subject, was one of admiration for the
wonderful powers of endurance dis
played by Queen Victoria, enabling
her to bear the fatigue such an after
noon necessarily infiicts on anybody of
such an advanced age. The heat was
intense, the glare of the sun was blind
ing, the dust was thick and the troops
occupied two hours in passing the sa-
luting point. Yet, in spite of the fact
that Her Majesty had travelled by train
from Windsor and had been driven
from Marlborough to Laffan's Plain,
she appeared to have enjoyed the scene
from first to last, though many young
and strong persons left the ground quite
exhausted.
While the Prince of Wales and the
masculine members of society have
been enjoying the racing at New
market, the Princess of Wales and the
ladies generally had their sporting
tastes gratifled by the
MAGNIFICENT DOG SHOW
of the Ladies Kennel Association at
the Botanic Gardens, at which about
2,000 dogs were on view, truly re-
markable record when it is realized
that the entries were confined to ca
mines owned by ladies. The Princess
OF Wales was big prize winner with
borzois, collies and bassets. Viscount-
ess Deerhurst formerly Miss Virginia
Bonynge), was also prize winner.
Some historic dogs were on view, in
Guiding Furthest North. the sole sur
vivor of Lieut. Peary's pack in his
Greenland expedition.
The Duke and Duchess of Connaught
are to arrive in Dublin Sunday. They
will be the guests of Lord and Lady
Roberts, of Kandahar, at Kilmainham.
Their visit is in the nature of pros
pecting tour, as. now that the Duke
has definitely renounced his claims ~
the Gotha succession, he is certain to
succeed Lord Roberts as commander of
the forces in Ireland, unless unexpected
state difficulties supervene The ap-
pointment would be most popular.
The Prince of Wales has decided
TO TAKE THE WATERS
of Marienbad again instead OF going 10
Homburg, unless the presence OF the
Duke of Orleans at Marinebad deter
mines a change of plans. Both queen
Victoria and the Prince OF Wales dis
like the Duke of Orleans, and the lat
ter is much annoyed and mortified at
being utterly ignored at court. Inc
Duke and Duchess of Orleans have
gone to Austria. They had desired TO
STAY at Brussels and Turin, previously,
but received strong hints from King
Leopold and King Humbert that their
presence was not desirable. The fact
is that the absurd and elaborate fuss a
handful of the Dukes followers persist
in making when he is N Brussels or
Turin has caused great deal OF trou-
BILE to the respective governments.
EXTRAORDINARY INTEREST
was taken in the sale Of the Marlbor-
ough gems at Christie's. Thursday.
Three of the most costly canoes went
to dealers, viz: a head deifed, of Au-
gustus. for e2,350; a Claudius Caesar,
G3,750, and a pair of imperial heads,
$4,000. Mr.. Talbot, who is under
stood to have been buying for the Bos-
ton Museum, secured a number OF ia
nous intaglios and canoes, including
the renowned cameo representing the
hyrneneal procession Of Eros and
PSYCHE. for which he had to pay g.
GOO. The sale, as already cabled, real
lied G34,762, or within G238 OF what
David Bromilow paid for the entire col
lection.
Senator Hanna is attracting much
attention in the London papers. The
American Kingmaker" is what the
Daily Chronicle styles him. In regard
to Presidential prospects, the Senator
said:
III you wait year I shall. perhaps,
be able to tell you who will be the next
President. That is about all most any
body could say. But. as to Admiral
Dewey, why do not suppose he is like
ly to walk on the carpet"
The papers publish with all serious
ness q story of Senator Hanna's visit
TO the House of Commons, Tuesday. He
was taken to the House by Mr.. Henry
White, secretary of the United States
embassy, and after listening to the
opening speeches of the debate. the
Senator is reported to have asked:
How much will vote on this bill
be WORTH"
The St James Gazette impertinently
comments on this version Of the Sena-
tors visit to the Commons, saying he
was merely applying the standard of
Washington to Westminster" adding:
1T will be understood by those ia
miliar with the scandals of Congress
that he put the question
QUITE SERIOUSLY"
The news from The Hague is regard
ed as quite discouraging. Senator-elece
Chauncey VI. Depew, talking with a
representative of the Associated Press,
voiced the general opinion of observers
here, saying:
Il am scorry TO be Obliged to think
what most practical men told US would
be the case, that the Peace Conference
will most probably end in failure at
present
With the view. probably, it is said,
Of reviving the waning interest, threat

with which he withholds even the sim
