London, May OpyilS I'Vo' W
che Associated Press.)-This has been a
week of dinners II speeches, the latter
quite inferior to the former. So long
had Ireland been monopolizing gaiety
that London had almost forgotten how
to celebrate and was threatened with
a period of depression under the cloud
of war and mourning. But, now that
the royalties and their suites have troop
ed back across the Irish channel. many
with just a tinge of brogue, semi-pohtl-
cal and private dinners have made the
nights of the metropolis gay while the
racing at Newmarket scarcely even be-
fore drew a more fashionable attend
ance. The victory of the Prince OF
Wales, whose horse, Diamond Jubilee,
won the two thousand guinea stakes
Wednesday, added 20 the enthusiasm and
the great race course became the prom
enade for the most arlstocratlc person.
ages in the country who chatted, bet,
lunched II cheered just as heartily as
though there was no death trrggie De-
ing waged IN the plains of South Africa.
Among those at Newmarket We're the
Prince of Wales, the King of Sweden.
Prince Christian of Schleswig-Holstein,
the Duke of Cambridge, the Duke and
Duchess of Devonshire, Lord and Lady
Howe, Lord and lac ROthschlld and al
most all the leading members of the no.
bility and in addition to a sprinkling OF
Americans. which included Richard Cro-
ker and Reginald Ward. the latter be
ing the guest OF Lord and Lady Howe.
Though late in beginning the season
promises to be brilliant unless uneX-
pected wal reverses knock out the hearts
of the people. The first drawing room
will De held May II at which the queen
will be present and will be brilliantly at
ended. The second drawing room set
down for May IA, will coincide with the
first night of the opera and will doubt
less be a great society occasion. The
prince of Wales and a long list of royal
ties and other prominent personages have
re-engaged their usual boxes which en-
sures a good operate season.
The queens birthday, May "a, in addi-
ton being marked by unusual public re-
joicing, will be made the occasion FOR a
great national bazaar for the army soci-
ties which will be p~atronized by all the
members of the royal family.
OF the recent dinners. none was more
striking thar the banquet given at the
Hotel Cecil Monday evening last by the
British Empire league in honor of the
colonial troops in South Africa and of
the Australian Federation delegates
when the Prince of Wales made his first
public appearance after the attempt to
assassinate him.. AS he rose to reply to
a toast he received a tremendous ova-
ton. He was unusually pale and the
nervous tone in which he said: 1--WE
are all in the hands of Cod" betrayed
the intense emotion he was undergoing.
But as the gorgeous banquet proceeded
Great Britain's future king regained that
geniality for which he is distinguished
and mirthful laughter prevailed at the
royal table. His royal highness also on
this occasion inaugurated a custom
which may become popular at large pub
lie dinners where the guests are so num-
erous that they scarcely recognize each
Other. With his coffee and cigars the
princes special attendant brought him
d huge pair of field glasses with which
he carefully scTutiniZed the long tables
and the galaxy of ~bejewelled women VINO
hlled the balconies in order to hear the
speeches.

having received his education in France.
The prince will leave London May s and
VIII VISIT the principal European courts,
apparently with the semi official pur-
pose of strengthening the cordiality be-
tween the Mikado and the European SOW
ereigns.
Many preparations are on foot for the
yachting season, which, though it may
not be productive of particularly good
racing, will none the less be patronized
by those who make yachting an amuse-
ment rather than a sport. The Ameri-
can yacht, White Lady, formerly owned
by Mrs. Langtry, is fitted out sumptu-
ously for the reception of Mr.. Lawson
johnston and htc h,;Jo -
