TOURNEY STIRS DISCORD
Knight, Who Didn't Win Joust,
Smacked Queen of Beauty.
IBy Gable to The Tribune.I

London, July 20.-An interesting and
amusing point arose for decision
in connection with the tourney at
Earl's Court. At the end of the joust-
ing Lord Lonsdale, knight martial pro-
claimed:
The Duke Of Marlborough has
jousted well, but Lord Ashby St.
Ledgers has jousted better"
The gold wrought cup was handed TO
Lord Ashby ST. Ledgers, who there
upon claimed the privilege Of kissing
the hand of Viscountess Curzon, the
queen Of beauty.
Now, It appears that Lord Ashby st.
Ledgers didn't 5oust at all. lie came
to the tourney tired out from playing
polo all the afternoon, and his place In
the list was taken by his brother, Cap
tain the Hon Frederick Guest. Moth
ing was said Of the substitution, and
the Duke Of Marlborough, who had
hitherto carried all before him, got a
severe dent in his knightly armOr from
the fresh and jealous captain, dent
Of such proportions that the supposed
Lord Ashhy st. Ledgers was declared
the victor, the cup given TO him, and he
kissed the hand Of the queen Of beauty.
Then the question arose, Was not
the Duke Of Marlborough the true VIC
tor on account Of the deception?
The noble duke and the noble lord
were willing to draw lots for the cup,
but what Of the hand OF the queen Of
beauty? No drawing Of lots could wipe
out that chaste salute.
Lord Lonsdale later officially an
nounced the Duke of Marlborough as
the winner of the tourney The an
nOunCement says
The cup for the jousting at tilt at
the Elizabethan tourney has been
awarded to the Duke of Marlborough,
Lord Ashby st. Ledgers not having
taken part, and fitting by proxy not
being permissible"

who has been manager Of the Savoy

been doing some talking on the hotel OF

"Only the Englishman whose educa-

there were only a few bathrooms In a
hotel: to-day guests want bathroom
attached to each bedroom. and hotel
must provide Wallets and maids for the
women. Even special expert packers
have to be ready to pack the clothes Of
departing guests.
In furnishings the changes are very
striking. No longer does one find
rooms plainly furnished, but different
guests have predictions for specially

FNGIISHMEN CRAVE
LUXURY IN HOTELS

THE number of people who make the
hotel their home is increasing tremen-
dously. They demand quietness and
variety especially variety. For ex-
ample. no matter how good the hotel
orchestra Is, 1t must be changed ire
quently. Even the uniforms OF the
hotel servants must nave the design
altered as often as possible.
But we are going much further yet.
The hotels built now will have wire
less telegraph station and aeroplane
landing places. TO keep pace with the
times, we must do away with the old
fashioned telephone boxes and have
luxurious telephone saloon. There VIII
be an inquiry office on each floor. so
that any one wanting to see guest
can be quickly put in touch with him.
The absence of such facilities Is great
fault in the modern hotel. Nowadays
people expect to be able to buy ticket
in a hotel for any place, and in the
future | think you will find that hotels
will have banks as part Of their equip
ment
"Of course, all this Is going to cost
more but people seem ready for IT,

years German travellers have increased
their expenditures. Until lately the
highest price they would pay for a

HOLLANDS QUEEN LAVISH
Spends $4,000 a Year on the
Costliest of Royal Wardrobes.
rBy Gable to The Tribune. ]

London, July 20.-An Austrian news
paper which has been inquiring into
the cost Of royal wardrobes says that
Queen Wilhelmina of Holland Is the
most extravagant OF the women OF
European courts, spending annually
$4,000 on her personal attire. Queen
Margaret of Italy comes next with
$4,000, a considerable part OF which
goes for lace.
The Empress Auguste Victoria OF
Germany puts $12.500 into toilets,
which always come from London or
Vienna. The Czarina Is the most eco
nomical. She has a prediction for
black and for severe styles that obviate
trimmings and accessories. Thus she
makes her dressmaking bill insignif-
cant.
