at London To-Day.
Will Go to Cowes the Latter End Of
the Week, Where He Will Re-
main a Fortnight on Board the
Royal Yacht Osborne.

Queen and court have gone to Osborne
the rest of the fashionable world will
soon fit to the continent of the grouse
moors. The Prince of Wales will end
the London season on Monday. after
which he will visit in the neighborhood
of Goodwood and attend the races
there. Later in the week the Prince
will go to Cowes. where he. will re,
main a fortnight on board the royal
yacht Osborne. From Cowes his royal
highness will go to Marienbad
The season has been the most pros
porous that has been experienced in
recent years. The tradesmen have had
rich harvests, for people have evidently
mad plenty of money to spend for things
that are not necessaries of life The
great auk's eggs sold at auction on
Thursday brought 800 guineas, and at
the same sale Japanese dwarf tree
fetched 80 guineas, and other curiosi-
ties were sold for correspondence high
prices. The best evidence of the pre-
vailing prosperity, however, is the
abnormal sale of pictures at the Royal
Academy, the numbers sold and 1ne
age, although the productions them
selves were below par.
A series of brilliant marriages have
materially assisted business, as can be
judged by the lists of costly gifts at
the marriage on Thursday of the Mar
quis of Tullibardine and the daughter
OF Sir James Ramsay, which almost
rivaled those of the Crewe- Primrose
nuptials as rich social function Cost
ly and novel present were fairly show
! cred upon the bride and bridegroom
The Prince Of Wales sent the bride 4
beautiful adaptation of the late Paris
ian fad of allowing chained living crea-
lures to wander about the wearer's
shoulders. This adaptation consists of
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 ana
another of diamonds and rubfes. each
of which is fastened to the dress like
a brooch. The approaching marriage
of Grown Prince Danilo of Montenegro
and Princess Kutta of Meckleberg-
Streitz will be celebrated with splendor
unprecedented in the land of the Black
mountains. The bride will arrive at
AntlVar1 on Sunday, and her formal
conversion to the Greek orthodox faith
Will occur few hours later in a pri-
Vate house specially consecrated for
the purpose. There is only bride path
from AntlVar1 to Cettinje, and the
FEincess will therefore perform the
journey to the Montenegran capital on
horseback. She will be ACCOMPANIED by
her future brother-in-law, the Prince
of Naples, whose wife is Princess
Helene of Montenegro. The prospec-
tive bride and her suite will enter Get
TIME on Wednesday next and the we'd
ding will take place on the following
day. Great festivities are being pre-
pared in honor of the event.
The enthusiasm which marked the in
augural meeting of the Intentional
Kennel Club on Wednesday at Stafford
House, ST. James, S. W., which the
Duke and Duchess of Sutherland had
loaned for the occasion, promises well
for the future of the club. The objects
of the club are, through a powerful
combination of representative owners
from all parts of the world, to effect
improvements in national breeds and
to raise the tone of dog owning and
dog showing. Lord Algernon Lennox
presided, and many we'll known ladies'
who are dog lovers were present. The
Prince of Wales has promised the club
his patronage. Among the national
Presidents appointed were the follow
ing: The Duke of Marlborough, Eng
land; James Gordon Bennett, Baron
Strathcona and Mount Royal, Canada;
the Earl of Dunraven, Wales
Extraordinary disclosures were made
this week in the course of an action

clerk sued the church wardens for 30
shillings, two months salary. The debt
was not disputed, but the poverty of
the church was pleaded as the reason
for the non payment of even this pit

The heat throughout the week. both
in England and on the continent. has
been unprecedented. While the mer-
curry has not approached American rec
ords, Americans who have arrived here
recently say that it is hotter here than
at home. The weather has entirely
revolutionized the clothes and habits
of Londoners. 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. This
article is made of thin white linen with
a broad brim. The clearest evidence
of the heat, however, and one which
impresses Englishmen, is the fact that
in certain courts the Judges informed
lawyers that they could dispense with
the wearing Of wigs. The judicial per-
mission was gratefully accepted.
In spite of the heat, the Queen on
Thursday drove twelve miles to a gar

Connaught had organized for the res
toration of church. The Queen vis-
tied all the stalls and rnado puv,,orn,,S
