Ministers SnOwden and Newell. At
CoWes, in addition to King Edward and
Queen Alexandra, are the Vanderbilt

Vanderbilts yacht, Valiant, and O. Z.
Haines' Aphrodite attract admiration
even among the host Of palatial British
and continental pleasure craft gathered
in anticipation of regatta week. Other
American yachts at CoWes are Mar
garita, Calanthe and Margerite. The
houses in the neghborhood are all let
and what society is left IN England
fiocked to the isle of Wight Immediately
after Goodwood, which was as fashion
able as ever. Today London poured
hundreds Of thousands of excursionists
into the country and into the sea- where
they will remain over the bank holiday.
The latest seaside fad is the wearing
Of sandals by grown persons. Many
girls seem to be especially taken with
the new idea. The sandals are generally
worn without stockings The craze has
spread even to London, where wen
dressed women can be seen sandaled IN
the park.

The London correspondent of the
Tribune says that nearly all the novelists
have left London for a long holiday and
inasmuch as the August publications
have been anticipated by forecasts dur
ing the past three months the lists now
contain no surprises. There are no
novels by unknown writer's and only 4
few medical and religious works but not
many books of real Importance. Samp-
son Low & Co. will produce about the
middle of the month magazine to be
known as the Connoisseur. 1t VIII con-
tain articles on Sir Charles Tenants
collection. Horace Townsend will sail for
New York today to take charge of the
American edition that Constable is plan
ming for the new edition Of George Mere
dith's novels and the MacMnlans are
arranging for eight or ten additional vol
umes of the 'Englishmen Of Letter
series. A report that Maurice Hewlett Is
writing a play for Nine Bernhard is
not believed. He is working on a novel.
Bernhard asked him to dramatic it for
her, but it is believed there Is no definite
arrangement.
In great contrast with the favorable
comments elected here by the contribu-
ton of $4,000 TO the Queen Victoria me-
mortal fund by the delegates Of the New
York Chamber of Commerce who recent
~ visited London is the anger with which
the Duke of Orleans contribution of el0O
has been received. The st. James Ga
Zette terms the Dukes action as astOund-
ing impudence and in common with the
Daily Chronicle. urges the lord mayor to
reject this contribution on account OF thu
part which the Duke of Orleans took in
the caricatures OF Queen Victoria which
appeared in Paris papers The paper
says the New Workers gift was "enIpha-
sis in dignified and graceful manner Of
the feeling which. we are sure, Is gem
eral in the United States"
