SEEN ASTRIDE
TN ROTTEN ROW
The King, Winston Churchill, John
Redmond, Cunninghame-Gra-
hame and Many Officers.
From The Tribune Correspondent


LordOn. May 3O.-Riding in the Row Is
still very popular despite the motor car
epidemic.
Perhaps the reason some people do not
realize that the horse is still on earth
for pleasure is because they do not get
up carly enough in the morning.
Usually before London has begun its
breakfast, while the dew is on the grass
and before the park has finished its
toilet, the long, brown ribbon of we'll
watered earth that is known as the
Row" is filed with riders mostly busy
men whose minutes are more valuable
than the ordinary persons, and who must
get their brief interval for physical eXer-
else before the days work begins.
The King is one of these, or was until
the antics Of the suffragettes compelled
him to modify his programme. Whenever
he gets a gallon In the Row it is generally
about o'clock in the morning. He gem

JOHN Redmond. soon now to leave US for
another sphere of political activity, seems
to thoroughly enjoy the exercise.
He usually wears a Derby hat and a
blue serge suit and rides big white
faced chestnut horse. one OF the most
picturesque and graceful riders is Gun
INSTRUMENTATION. He carries n long
dashed hunting crop. wears brown top
boots and SLOUGH hat and a loose cape,
and looks generally like cavalier.
Just now the women who ride astridc
are in the minority. This change is
mostly due to the Kings pronuncia-
mento last year that he did not approve
OF the cross saddle for women

ULSTER UNREST" IN
TORY PRESS ONLY
Judge Morgan J. O'Brien
Summarizes Impressions
of Visit 10 ireland.
IBy Cable to The Tribune. ]

London, June 6.-ExJudge Morgan j.
O'Brien told The Tribune correspondent
this week that the Ulster unrest was
found only in the Tory press. He has
lust returned TO The Cecil from an auto
mobile trip in Ireland with his wife and
daughters, Estelle and Maud. He found
Belfast as quiet as Philadelphia on a
Sunday.
II saw nothing resembling an armed
camp" he said, mot even an Ulster vol
unteer, simply folks at work as quietly
as elsewhere in Ireland Two batleships
in Bantry Bay were the sole sigr. OF the
martial enthusiasm so boasted Of IN the
Unionist newspapers.
The Irish are more eager 10 improve
the country than to fight over Home
Rule. Economic conditions to-day are
much better than at the time Of my last
visit. ten years ago Housing has I'M
proved vastly. The conduct Of public
affairs, too, impressed me. chiefly owing
TO the respectful consideration mani
tested between the government and the
OPPOSITION, both striving to promote the
countrys good The newspapers more
than the politicians are responsible for
stirring up strife
In his eagerness TO study London courts
Judge O'Brien had an amusing time
ION entering the famous hall Of the
Middle Temple" he said. II found the
entrance crowded with women. mostly
Americans. to whom the jantors were re-
fussing admission in the belief that most
of them were suffra gettes An English
friend who was with me shouted: Here
an American judge who wants 10 see the
hall The attendants still refused adj
mission until voice behind cried: Amer
lean Judge. Let me sec what | can 90!
The janitors Immediately stood aside
and we entered with our unknown bene-
factor, who, pointing 10 a stained glass
window of member OF the Inn elevated
n the bench. said: Let me introduce my
self That's my portrait He proved 10
he Lord Mersey, who will represent Eng
land at the inquiry into the Canadian
steamship disaster. He showed me all
through the Temples.
There is a very interesting ard ira
ternal, intimacy between the Judges ana
the members OF the bar because OF their
habit of dining together frequently and
discussing Jurisprudence. ethics and pro-
cedure This is impossible in America
because there is no means Of establish
ing a personal friendship between bench
and bar.
81 also met the Lord Chief Justice, VINO
kindly invited me to visit his court for
an important case on appeal. Both sides
we're fully heard in one day The next
dav the three judges of the Court OF
Appeal delivered oral opinions, disposing
of the case in two days, which is sWliter
than our system; even written Opinions
here are more expeditiously given
Judge O'Brien added that the only oo-
lection to visiting London nowadays IS
the militant crusade, which has resulted
in denying English art treasures to those
who have travelled thousands OF miles

Danger to Fair Skins.

\ hot afternoon will undoubtedly be re-
quired for the comfort Of the gown a
tulle cape being lovely in a Royal Acade-
my picture, but hardly adaptable 10
sunless day. So much for that. but il the
9Th, and especially the cup day, looms up
hot. who could count the scores Of white
necked and armed ladies whose delicate
skin. when exposed 10 the ardent rays OF
a cruel sun, begins to turn pink and then
pinker? The effect will be most awe in
spring. and futurist might possibly get
some good color effects for next exhibit
ton picture. There is, Of course, another
and equally delicate question-not every
fair member Of the invitational list to
ASCOT feels she can have two gowns made
for each Of the four days.
The main topic Of conversation. there
fore. is. What shall l do in case Of sun
burn? OF course, parasols will be much
in evidence. but they. too. show con-
sistency TO the gown in being contrived OF
tulle. with big bow or rose in some con-
spicuous spot.
The hats are probably the least source
Of trouble. as every size, shape and color
will be worn. Flowers and ribbon. with
now and again ostrich plumes. play an
important part in their conception. No
aigrettes or birds OF paradise will be
worn, as Queen Mary has long ago voiced
her displeasurc at the wearing OF this
tyne Of headgear.

iBy Cable to The Tribune. !

London. June 6.-The approach OF the
Ascot races is animating English So
ciety. but enthusiasm is to some extern;

gettes. The police are employing every
device possible and imaginable TO prevent
any outrage, including specially trained
watchdogs and concealed wires. which, If
disturbed. will fire alarm guns. The court

An Order of the Garter chapter is to be
held at Windsor on June Is.
The King and Queen and their party
will be guarded as closely as the Russian
Car. Troops of detectives and police
will be everywhere. and the state process

past an unbroken line of soldiers with
fixed bayonets. Known militants will be
arrested on sight at Ascot and Windsor.
