sended 10 receive us-that he had heen furnisbaa
with a full list of the delegation from which he
might be expected to make certain selections
who would be honored by personal salutation
and shaking Of hands No mention was ma6a
of her majesty the Queen, and we certainly had
idea Whatever of more than possible
glimpse of her. The Master of the Household
requested us to form a semi-circle and shortly
after that we should remove the right glove
from our hands. Accordingly, We grouped our
selves Mr.. Jesup on the extreme right and the
others in half circle
We remained thus for some fifteen minutes

Victoria, and the two grandchildren of their

Duke and Duchess OF Cornwall and York We
all stood watching their every movement In n
lesurely and benign manner the King led the
way TO the centre of the terrace and the broad
walk leading TO the fountain and on which we
were grouped. Smiles covered his face as he
again and again lifted his hat to various parts
OF the gIoup, while We promptly barred our
heads and bowed in response. Tae Master OF
the Household then stepped forward and re-
quested that as each name called off the
list the person named would approach the King
and receive his salutation. So the list began

stepped forward and raised his hat extended
his hand and, with a hearty and unmistak ka BILE
