THE QUEENS TRAIN BEARERS.
Two Pretty Little Children's Part in
the Coronation.
From the London Dispatch

All conversation here ultimately
turns to the kings coronation. one
of the latest and most interesting de-
tails of that royal spectacle is the Sc
lection of the two little daughters of
Lord Burghclere, pronounced Bur
clail,' TO attend Queen Alexandra at
the ceremony. They will serve in the
capacity of train bearers, and two
prettier children for the distinguished
task could not be found in all Eng
land.
The Ladies Juliet and Althea Gard
ner for their father is better known
as Mr.. Herbert Gardner than as Lord
Burghclere, are especial favorites of
the queen. She Is fond of having
them around her ana ii was this de-
sire, together With her eagerness TO
delight the childish mind, that dictated
their selection for posts of honor in the
coronation procession.
AS Herbert Gardner Lord Burghclere
sat i'm the house of commons as liberal
member for Saffron Walden for many
years, He was president of the board
of agriculture during the whole tenure
of office of the last liberal government.
His wife is the eldest sister of lord
CarnarYon. They have one other daugh-
ter besides the two who have been hon
ored.
Coronation echoes are heard from all
directions. We read of children who
have been born i'm these early days Of
coronation year being named Coronius

The railway ordinances came over to
select council from common some six
weeks ago and We're referred to the
committee at that time. The commit
tee has had but one meeting, but is
ready 10 report upon one of the ordi-
nances, the one awarding franchise
