which are never absent from a Guild
nail luncheon. and are always served
as the band plays "The Roast Beef
of Old England"
| Upon this occasion the banaueters
Will be able to wager that the afore-
said roast beef Of old England"
didn't come from Texas. However, as
kiplilg says, that's another story,
which can be told when the coronation
og George V is thing of the past
London Now Crowded
Never in the month Of May has
London been 80 crowded. On fine
afternoon It takes q motor car a good
naif nour to go from one end of
Piccadilly to the other.
IT It's like this now" say many.
what's It going to be In the middle
/ Of June 4. - 4,
And : lot of people who originally :
intended to stay In London over the
coronation have decided to get away
before that event. But so many are
arriving every day that the departures
will make little difference.
One result Of this crowded May has
been an enormous amount of enter
tainment that in ordinary years would
have been done in June. Some host
esses will be away by June; others
fear their hospitality must then be
smothered by the demands Of public
functions. Consequently it is almost
as difficult for hostess to find date
on which she can get party together
as 1t is to find one that will suit q
couple of heavyweight boxers.
VIII Garry Standard
Frank s. Dymoke pronounced Dim
mock), who is to carry the standard
of England at the coronation, is the
son of the old yeoman who, when
Queen victoria's champion was be-
lieved to be tha last Of his race, came
forward and established his right To
this hereditary Office.
The first holder of the appointment
is believed to have been Sir John
Dymoke, who officiated at the coro-
nation Of King Richard II. The last
4 occasion on which the kings cham
pion appeared as such in Westminster
hall was at the coronation of George
".
AS has been said, the office is her
edftary, and when the Dymoke of
Queen Wctoria's day died It was
though that the family was extinct.
Then the old farmer referred to prov
ed his claim and received the historic
possessions Of his family, including
/ the priceless collection of coronation
cups. One of these cups and the suit
OF armor worn by the champion and
the horse upon which he rode into
Westminster hall at the time Of the
i delivery of the challenge formed the
1 lperquisites Of the champion.
Demand for Seats Great,
The demands for seats at Covent
garden for the coronation gala per-
formanco on Juno 26 has probably ex-
ceeded anything ever experienced by
a theatrical management. The seats
are now allotted, but hundreds of
names remain on the list. On Mon
day q gentleman offered $500 for any
box in the house. On Tuesday and
offer Of $4,000 was made, but no hold
er would transfer. Seats In the gal
lery are all numbered. reserved and
allotted.
The duty Of taking the oath Of al
jlegiance at the coronation is perform
ed by the senior peer Of each degree,
and an interesting point has arisen
In connection with that OF the barons.
The premier barony Of England is at
j present held by woman, Lady de
Roe. and there is curiosity to see
whether she is to take the oath for
her peers or II the ceremony will be
delegated to the holder Of the next
barony.
The Duke Of Norfolk performs for
the dukes, Lord Winchester for the
marquises, Lard shrewsberry for the
earls and Lord Hereford for the yis-
lcounts.
