Westminster bridge out of which Bolwell
street turns, was all animation and pride
last Saturday, when a number of musicians
assembled outside the house to witness
the uncovering of stone tablet placed be-

the fact that England's great composer
was born there. The inscription adds that
Sir Arthur died in 1900. and was buried in

the strings which held the Union Jack
covering the tablet were cut amid enthusi-
astic applause. Then a party Of vocalsts
from the Guildhall School Of Music sang
the dead composers music to The Long

said to have been chosen by Sir Arthur
himself for his epitaph. The stanza is as
follows:

Sun Hats for Horses.
During the intense heat of last week a
large number of horses in London were
protected by sun hats Some of them are
original and surprising. Already canvas
ones are being used advertisements, and
the horses of one railway company go
about with neat little umbrellas fixed In
the headgear, which advocate the advan-

Londoners are waking up to the fact
that a more intimate acquaintance with

are to open an American exhibition next

announcements state that 1t will be "the
largest and most important exposition Of
American commerce. industries and inven-
tions yet seen in England" Such an ex-
hibition will diffuse a wider knowledge OF

LONDON, August /. 1901
Everything connected with King Alfred
Is Of interest this year. This is recognized
by the authorities of the British Museum
who have placed In very prominent posi-
tion many relics of the great Saxon king
and also the fac simile of the beautiful
trinket known as King Alfreds jewel.
There is a talk of establishing a King
Alfred Club, membership of which should
be restricted to those who can make out a
reasonable claim to be considered des-
cendants Of the illustrious Saxon ruler.
The yerification of genealogists presented
BY applicants would, at all events, give the
college of heralds a good deal of work to
DO in their old-world abode, in Queen Vic
toria street. and perhaps IL they were
consulted they would prefer that the mil
lenary should he allowed TO pass by and
the club project remain In abeyance until
after the coronation. 1t Is interesting to
note that an Alfred Club f1ourished in Lon
don In the early part of the century,
though its membership was not limited by
genealogical considerations. It was most
" composed of travellers, and eventually
blended with the Oriental Club, its own
title being dropped.
