A feature of the Glasgow exhibition
of the year before last was the colossal
statute of King Edward VII, which
stood below the central dome. They

The ceremony lacked fastidiousness.
A moose was drawn tightly round the
neck of the king, half dozen navies
hitched themselves to the ground end
of the rope and-the great statuE lay
in many fragments. The charitable
explanation is advanced that this
course was taken to remove any chance
of his majesty. when he goes to Glas-
gov, seeing himself as so many thous-
lands had been led to imagine him.
