nation. That made on the occasion of
Queen ViCtoria's jubilee was feet in

weighing 100 pounds. and was drawn
by ten horses.
The little town Of Wye near Ashford,
in Kent. decided to commemorate the late
Kings coronation in an original and per-
manent way. In the chalk on Wye
Downs it was resolved to dig huge de-
sign of a crown. on lines similar to the
famous white horses of Berkshire and
the North Riding of Yorkshire, which
would be visible for many miles. On the
the same occasion from 1900 to COCO
bonfires were arranged, one of the highest
being on the Richmond Beacon, in York
shire At each bonfire fifty rockets were
to be sent off simultaneously. or 10000 to
coo OO0 in all.
St PauI's Cathedral has been the scene

the gate of the Deans house. Then he
walked up the rope again and performed
'certaine misteryes on the said rope, to
the great wonder of the assembled multi

GOSSIP OF THE
HOTEL LOBBIES
Canadian Reciprocity.

George Wegenast, managing director
of the Mutual Life Assurance Company
of Canada, residing at Waterloo, Canada,
accompanied by Mrs. Wagenast, is at
the Shoreham. They have just returned
from a pleasure trip to the Bahama
Islands. which. they said. are seeking
annexation to Canada.
Speaking of the prevailing sentiment
in Canada with regard to reciprocity,
Mr. Wegenast said: The feeling is
just about equally divided 1t is largely
a political question, and it is therefore
but natural that the Conservatives
should oppose the Liberal party, which is
in power, and which will put through
the agreement. The Conservatives argue
that reciprocity is merely the first step
in a movement which will probably ex-
pand into free trade between the two
countries. The Liberal government has
big majority in Parliament, and will
have no trouble ratifying the agreement
There is no thought in Canada OF
joining the political Union of the United
States. Annexation has never been an
issue of any great consequence, except
in the border towns, where Americans
main part and parcel OF the British en-
pire. We are loyal to the mother coun-
try. and we are building a navy in order
to be of assistance to England should
necessity arise.
Business in Canada is very good, es-
pecially in Western Canada, and thou
sands of Americans are settling in our
country to seek their fortunes
Moving Pictures an Education.
No man can really appreciate the great
services moving pictures are rendering in
the course of education among the poor
mountaineers and farmers of the South
ern States" said Donald NJ. Foster, of
Trenton, y. j.. who was seen at the New
Willard, and who had just returned from
an extensive business trip in the South.
For small admission fee of cents
the mountaineer or farmer down South,
and everywhere else, is shown foreign
scenes and peoples, their mode of living
and their customs To have the lesson
brought before ones eyes is much more
effective than merely reading from a
book.
About two weeks ago l visited Chatta-
nOOEa on business. There had been a
constant rainfall for days, and the streets
were unier a foot of water. Trains were
late. and business was practically at a
standStill. The moving-p picture houses
had placards out saying that inasmuch
as the new films had not arrived on &C
count OF the flood, yesterdays pictures
would be shown, free of charge. 1t goes
without saying that the announcement
drew crowded houses.
In Philadelphia the moving-picture
houses are made use of during lunch
| hours by big business men and fnan-
| ciers. who buy an apple. a piece of pie.
! or a sandwich, and MUNICH them while

HOSTS AND HOSTESSES
AT THE CORONATION

The selection of John Hays Hammond
as the special representative of the
United States at the coronation has
given great satisfaction. He is an i'm
mensely popular man, an ideal host, and
great sportsman. While in London
Mr.. Hammond will stay at STRAIT
ton street, the cid Piccadilly home Of
the late Baroness Burdett- Coutts. where
the present Queen frequently stayed as
i child. the baroness being a personal
friend of her mother, the late Duchess
of reck.
Besides the marvellous collection of
Queen Anne and Early Georgian silver.
there is a vast quantity OF very valuable
china at l Stratton street. If Mr.
Hammond chooses to entertain on an
extensive scale he will he able TO cover
the huge dinner table with Flaxman
silver. or he can make use of service
of gold with bleakers and goblets of ex-
quisite workmanship. In. the gallery is
Sir Joshua Reynolds favoTite chair.
while on the walls hang many pictures
by this famous painter. The precious
Winged Victory" from Yanina, show
ing the wonderful gold work of the
Greeks with the chise 1000 years ago;
first folio Shakespeare, Raeburn pic
lures of Scott and the MulgraVc picture
of Pitt. tainted in the year of his death
by Hoppner, are a few of the other
treasures of which Mr.. Hammond will
be the temporary guardian. 1t is said
that he will pay $1,000 week for the
use of the house during the six weeks of
his occupancy.

Decreased importations Into the
United States.

The quantity of merchandise
brought into the United States In the
fiscal year, 1911, Is materially less
than In 1910. The value OF the years
imports shows a fall OF 20 million dol.
lars. or about per cent below those
OF the high record year, 1910, but In
most cases the decline In quantity
is greater than this slight fall In the
value would indicate. This Is due
to the fact that the import prices Of
many articles are higher In 1911 than
In 1910. OF coffee, for example, the
value OF the years imports is much
greater than that Of last year, while
the quantity Is about the same as
last year; the total number of pounds
imported in 1911 being $3.50 million
pounds. against S7l.5 million In 1910,
but the stated value of the 1911 i'm.
ports Is 90.6 million dollars. against
69.2 million last year. OF sugar the
quantity imported Is also materially
less than last year, the total imports
In 1911 being 1897 million pounds
against 4,095 million in the fiscal year
1910, and the value OF 964 million,
against 1868 million last year. Raw
wool shows an even greater decline,
the value Of the imports in the fiscal
year 1911 being but 232 million dol
lars. against Sic million In 1910, and
the quantity of 1916 million pounds,
against 264 million In 1910, the guam.
tity imported in 1911 being but about
half as much as in the preceding
year and the value considerably less
than half that Of 1910. In lumber the
quantity imported also shows a slight
decline, the figures for 1911 being
S7l,s27 NJ feet, against 1,053,sI6 M
feet In 1910, and the stated value in
1911, 1911 million dollars, against 1913
million In 1910.
