DEWEY IN PROSPECT.
(Copyright, Associated Press.)
London, May 20.-Soclaily the week
has been the busiest of the year.
Queen victoria's visit to London gave
it a necessary enlivening. The cere-
mony of laying the foun dation stone of
the South Kensington Museum proved
a highly successful pageant and gave
the people here an opportunity to in
dulge in a great loyal demonstration,
while the State ball on Thursday even
ing gathered all the highest in the
land to Buckingham Palace. 1t was a
most brilliant function. The Prince of
Wales, the Duke and Duchess OF Con-
naught, Prince and Princess Christian.
the Duke and Duchess of York, the
Duke and Duchess of Fife, the Duke of
Cambridge and the Crown Prince of
Siam prince Chowfa Maha Vajira-
vudh). were among those present. The
dancing commenced at IL o'clock in
the magnificent salon and lasted until
daybreak.
The approaching ceremonies at
Windsor will be most interesting
Upon the occasion of her birthday, next
Wednesday morning Queen Victoria
was born May "a, 1877, Her Majesty
will receive the congratulations of her
family and
WILL THEN BE SERENADED
in the grand quadrangle of the castle
by a choir of $50 voices, to which the
Queen will listen from the Oak Room
overlooking the quadrangle. At noon
the Scots Fusileer Guards will march
past the Queen on the east lawn and
fire feu de joie. A thanksgiving SER
vice in st. Georges chapel will follow
The Queen will then drive through
Windsor, passing under magnificent
floral arch erected on Castle HILL and
in the evening "Lohengrin" will be
given by the opera company in the
waterloo cnamDer.
1t is rumored that the Queen, in con-
nection with her birthday, will again
offer the Marquis of Salisbury Duke
dom, which he refused at the time of
her majesty's jubilee.
The Prince of Wales has ordered his
racing cutter Britannia to be ref1tted
as early as possible, but it is not con-
sidered likely she will be ready in time
to be used in test races against the
cup challenger, Shamrock. Britannia
will remain cutter rugged and will
compete in the yacht racing during
Cowes Week.
Sir Charles Howard Vincent, Con-
sentative, member of Parliament for
the Central Division of Sheffield, and
colonel of the Queens Westminster
Volunteers, struck a popular note in
inviting a deputation from the Seventh
New York regiment
TO VISIT ENGLAND.
He wrote to Col Daniel Appleton re-
Gently, asking him to send delegation
if possible TO march with the West
Minister Volunteers in Hyde Park, when
the Prince of Wales will review all
the London volunteers in July s. The
Westminsters are very enthusiastic
about the idea, and it is evident they

New Workers are unable to accept tie
invitation to the review and arrange
for a shooting match. The Westmin-
ster Volunteer regiment is one of the
strongest and finest volunteer corps
in Great Britain. 1t is also very
popular regiment. Its members wear
a smart grey uniform, with scarlet
facings. The regiment is composed
chiefly of members of the well-to-do
middle class of people. They have a
splendidly equipped headquarters near
ly opposite the United States embassy.
The Duke Of Westminster is the hon
orary colonel of the regiment. A rep
resentative of the Associated Press
called upon Colonel Sir Charles How
ard Vincent, who is the prime mover
in the scheme to get the New Workers
to visit England and who is intensely
enthusiastic over the idea. He said:
The invitation, though nomieally
from my corps, is from the nation, and
although in my letter to Colonel APP
pleton we limited the invitation TO the
Seventh New York regiment, we
should like America TO send a showing
from all her regiments. A great recep-
ton awaits her sons from either SER
vice We want
A TIGHTER HAND-CLASP
between the two nations. America s
brave men will see London rise and
welcome those who were practically
the first from the din of battle in Cuba.
l trust we shall be able to send a rep
resentation TO America before long. II
our invitation is accepted we will
make England ring in honor of our
visitors"
The Colonel of the Westminster Vol
unteers was evidently somewhat at
fault as to the identity of the New
