an eventual agreement some clause

NEW YORK, June 2I,-That many
persons unreasonahly felt aggrieved
by the postponement of the local cor

gether with those of the coronation

the crowd.

at Dunstable pro-ast meeting was held
and the crowd afterward proceeded to
the residence Of the mayor and rector
where. amid much hooting. windows
were smashed. 4 move was then made
to the Chitern Hills, where a great
coronation bonfire was lighted con-
trary to orders.
A riot also occurred in Hempel
Hampstead, owing to the difficulty of
the coronation committee TO sell out
the beef and other things for the cor
ronation dinner for the poor. The dis
appointed poor collected in crowds and
smashed the windows of members of
the committee. At Newton Montgom-
eryshire, the committee decided to
postpone all festivities indefinitely.
Several residents being of the opinion
that the children should not be dis
appointed, requested the chairman OF
the distriSt council to convene a pub
lie meeting to consider the matter.
This he refused to do When the
chairman emerged from the commit
tee meeting he was hooted by a large
crowd. He took refuge in an inn,
which was Immediately surrounded by
