These will include the progress of the court through London oc. the day after the coronation and visit to the Guildhail, with a reception of the king and queen by thf city authorities there, a great naval re view, a gala performance at the opera. with minor celebrations and pageants. among which will be Festival of Empire at the Crystal Palace.
 Business men and transportation companies count upon some 2,OO0,- oOe visitors to London during the coronation season. A considerable proportion of these will be foreign- CTS. Americans and colonia!s prob ably predominating.

The best places are being reserved for regular patrons and managers say that prices for the coronation week will not be more than double the regular rates for the best hotels. Boarding house keepers are likely to be less req snnable in charges to visitors who have not arranged for accommoda- tions in advance
