Wherever a few feet of space are avail
able stands are in course of erection
Preparations are everywhere being made
TO cover the stands with purple cloth and |
this will so a long way towards giving /
the effect of general mourning.
Stands are being erected close to St |
James palace, which, when filed. will |
hide the palace from the Malls. Even |
on the outbuildings of the palace and
the balcony from which King Edwards s |
accession was proclaimed. and in the |
gardens of Marlborough house, similar
provisions for spectators are being ma7e |
The sidewalks of st. James street are
almost impossible. Carpenters and Join
ers are everywhere building stands and
Snoring up balconies
The same condition cf things prevails |
in Picadilly. Seating accommodations |
are being prepared in every possible |
nook, from Devonshire house to the ba.- |
conY Of ApSley house. Lamp posts and !
cbstructions in the middle of the road |
way are being removed. In Hyde park. !

glimpse of purple drapery in Park lane
Is obtainable.

Paddington are the iveliest scenes of |
all. The entire population of the district |
and suburbs seems TO have congregated |
In search OF accommodation and traf- |
ficking in seats is going on in the streets, |
which gives it the appearance of busy /
market Hardly q house but is being |

tainable for seats on uncomfortable
stands and on the smallest balconies
Cambridge Row is lined on both sides
with stands erected in the gardens, and
people eagerly pay e3 to e5 for seats
On them, while windows Of houses in
the rear of the stands, with trees be-
tween them and the roadways are con-
sidered cheap at $50
