feeling at Buckingham palace Is very
hopeful. His majesty is able TO take
pourishment. He had scrambled eggs
and little hook and soda this evening,
and with his own hands he opened sew

The bulletin issued at II o'clock to-
night Is regarded as intensely satlsfac-
tory, This bulletin is generally taken
as being the first occasion on which the

alton was performed and the absence

all quarters. although, as has been fra

street were In marked and pleasant
contrast with those OF Tuesday after

then 50 disgracefully prominent were
quite unheard tonight. Traffic pur-

most popular thoroughfares We're COM

dlspelled the natural gloom which set
tied over the metropolis, The neon
failed to penetrate the darkness over
the city. and a cold wind was blowing.
Quiet and depressed the crown

the nights final news of the sovereign.
For several hours they kept their pa
tent vigil, wandering aimlessly, but
with papable anxiety, over the open
space which fronts the royal residence.

hope OF the kings recovery and that
he was sure that every Engllshman
