recalled a singular incident that occurred
some years ago in his presence In the Je-
rusalem Chamber, Westminster Abbey.

Canterbury. but on the previous evening
his grace slipped on the stairway at Lam
beth Palace and sustained an injury
which prevented his officiating at the con-
secration ceremony.
At the last moment the Bishop OF Lon
don took his place. Suddenly. and TO the
establishment Of everybody, the Dean OF
Westminster stepped forward and SOL
EMMY protested against the Bishop OF
London taking the service in the Old Ca
thedral Of Westminster Abbey. The Bishop
Of London motioned his legal representa-
tive, who came forward and read a docu-
ment, which set out that the bishop was
in no way encroaching on the ancient
rights Of the dean.
1t was an illustration. added the speak
er, of the old jealousy that prevailed be-
tween the ecclesiastics of the Abbey and
St. Paufs.

LONDON, October 19.-The lack Of
sympathy between Queen Mary and
Queen Alexandra. the breach between
whom is steadily widening. is a source Of
great sorrow to King George. His ac-
tons are to a certain extent influenced
by Queen Mary, whose character Is con-
siderably more firm than his own. but the
king still feels strongly attached to his
mother and to the home OF his boyhood.
Sandringham Castle-a fact which has
just been proved by his purchase Of
Shernbourn Hail farm, which is within
easy walking distance of Sandringham.
Undoubtedly the king, who is prevented
from enjoying the hospitality Of his
mother at Sandringham, will spend con-
siderable time on his new estate. which
boasts OF spacious and comfortable
mansion and very interesting moated
grange. which was built by former own
ers during the days Of Queen Elizabeth.
During the time of the commonwealth
the last of the race died and in his will
left the estate to his old college of Cam
bridge, from whom the king has just
bought 1t for 100000. While the estate
was owned by the college part Of the
grange was allowed to fall into decay
and most Of the moat was filled in, while
part OF the grange was transformed into
a modest but comfortable mansion.

tensive alterations and the old building
will be changed into a fit royal residence.
