 Boston; Jan. 21-The boom of Char les W. Eliot to succeed Whitelaw Reid as Ambassador to the Court of. St. James, is booming here with new life today following the public expression by Governor Draper and Harvard' s new president. A. Lawrence Lowell. At the first annual dinner of the liar ward Club last night both the Cover nor and President Eliot's successor spokeMmore plainly than has hitherto been, done on the plan to have liar wards retiring head honored by the post at Westminster.
 Mr. Lowell said: We read in Kings that Elijah turned his face to the east and smote the waters and passed through to the other side. May that be an omen and may President Eliot pass through to the east"
 Governor Draper put it bit more direct. He said: whether or not we are to have him as our representative at the Court of St. James I do not know. but sincerely hope so."
 Letters of regret were read from Ambassadors Bryce, Prince Henry of Prussia Elihu Root, Rufus Choate, the American Ambassador to England, and others.
 An annual formal presentation of a silverplate was made during the ev- ening from the members to the presi- dent of the club.

Orchestral Oversiahts.

The snare drummer happened to catch selection that called for the use of half dozen or more instruments. To make the shift from one to an- other he had to hustle in fashion that nightly impressed persons sitting near. When he had finished the lively opera tion he was putting and blowing and the precipitation was coming out in streams. A man just outside the or chestra rail leaned forward and, point ing to the score, remarked:
 'That was good work, old man, but you missed one place."
 ''I didw responded the drummer in surprise. "Why, thought I played everything that came my way"
 ''No,"' the other resumed, "you didn't do everything, and I saw the leader glance at you. Right there, in the mid dle of that measure, Is place where 1t says you should have gone down cellar and shaken the furnace, and you didn't pay any attention to it."-Prov- idence Journal.
