London. Dec. "a Christmas holiday lasting
from Tuesday to Friday for every engaged in
business and extending to the following Monday
has resulted in record distribution Of Londoners
to all parts Of the United Kingdom and left the
streets OF the city more deserted in appearance
than even the average Sunday. Nearly a million
persons are computed to have taken trains at the
various railway terminals in the city in the last
thirty-six hours. bound to the provinces and else
where visits to relatives and friends. The wealth
yesterday foggy, and resulted in so many
minor mishaps to traffic at and on land that
there was apprehension that It might continue to-
day. This morning. however. dawned bright, with
q bracing atmosphere, thereby contributing toward
the Christmas cheer.
King Edward and the Queen, with the Prince and
Princess OF Wales and their children. are, as usual
spending the Christmas holiday at Sandringhan
All the tenants at Sandringham have-been remem-
bered with gifts Of all kinds. including huge joints
OF beef, tons of coal and supplies of groceries
The old women OF the estate were personally cared
for by Queen Alexandra. who visited and distrih-
uted shawls and warm clothing to them.
The rumors of shortness Of money are belied by
the reports that there has been brisk Christmas
trade, the only complaints coming from wine and
cigar dealers and dealers in turkeys. who have
been hit by the new prevention of corruption" act
which forbids gifts Of any kind from an agent
without the consent OF the principal, with the
object Of influencing the agent to do business with
the giver. Many large firms of economical mind,
as well private individuals whose gifts are be-
yond suspicion of bribery, have taken advantage
Of the act to get rid the irksome annual tax on
the plea that such presents possibly would subject
them 10 penalties provided by the new law.

MISS ELLIOTT AT THE GARAICK.
"Under the Greenwood Tree"

Miss Maxine Elliott, cordially greeted by a throng
of admirers appeared at the GarricE Theatre last
night in a pictorial and very agreeable dyllic play,
by II. V Esmon1. called Under the Greenwood
Tree Some account of the story has already been
given I'm this place The heroine chooses to repu-
date society and live a gypsy. and the English
squire who the estate upon which she has
established her gypsy camp sees her there, per-
ceves her exceeding beauty. becomes enamoured OF
her, and eventually wins her for a wife The at
mosphere OF is well preserved in this COM
edy, and the dialogue with which it is wrought into
form exhibits both play OF fancy and felicity of
language. Miss Elliott. long notable for sort OF
Spanish beauty dark and romantic. IS lovely TO
and pleasing to hear. The piece. at several of It's
most important moments. extremely farclcal 1t
glances satrically, at several modern foibles. and
it is here and there disfgured by the introduction
of absolute nonsense. Satire, moreover, IS not
an appropriate vehicle for the expression of Miss
ElIiott's faculty and characteristic charm Her
talents are best displayed IN scenes of ardent, ro-
mantle passion. The error that Miss Elliott makes
in all serious situations Is the substitution of re-
preston for expression Nevertheless. she Is
proficient actress, and she possesses surprising
nhysical beauty An everlasting dissection of mo-
tves and meanings on the stage has become te-
dious Under the Greenwood Tree is clean.
It's obvious faults do much signify. There is
a good fellow In 1t. who loves good girl She Is
supposed to be of great beauty and as represented
bv Miss Elliott she is of beauty as great as could
be supposed She loves her sutOr, and presently
they are happily married. There is fun. nom
sense whim ard playful frolic, combined with
Youth health and happiness and ali this is good
IN see. The audience appeared to be delighted
When you see Miss Elliott
