ridiculous statements as to the prices
Maid for certain windows or seats in
p,ccadilly or elsewhere have been con
stantly published.
To get accurate information on
these points a representative of the
Associated Press has made careful
canvass, inquiring at various points
along the route. He ascertained that
seats in the best positions in Piccadil-
w. the most sought after situations,
could now be had for from s to 20
guineas, according to the room. This
was for the first days procession. For
the second day the prices asked were
from three to seven guineas. In Pail
Mall, where the buildings are mostly
clubs and very few windows are to
let, the prices are slightly higher. For
the second days procession along The
Strand the seats cost four to seven
guineas. At st. Pauls four huge
stands stands will be erected and the
prices are from three to seven guineas.
On the south side of the river the best
seats cost five to seven guineas.

encouraging for intending visitors.
