... . The Queen is to come to town on Tuesday, and will return to Windsor on Thursday. The Boston Artillerymen are being feted all round-- at Windsor on Thursday and at Marlborough House on Friday. An interesting presentation lias been made to Mr. J. Lawson Johnston, the founder of Bovril, Limited, and vice-chairman of the company, by the head office staff and country branch managers on the ...

... AET NOTES. As these words are being written the sale of Lord Leighton's various collections and of his works as yet unsold is taking place at Christie's, and is to continue for the space of a week or thereabouts. Upon the first day his Eastern properties will be disposed of, including china, rugs, costumes, and furniture. Later his own paintings will follow in the train, and sketches, which ...

... . It is generally expected that the St. Leger this year will be One of the best races seen on the Doncaster Town Moor for a long time, and it is hoped the Prince of Wales will be present to see Persimmon run. I think the colt is very likely to win, as, in my opinion, he was going very much better than St. Frusquin at the finish of the Princess of Wales's Cup at Newmarket. Persimmon is what is ...

... THE YALE CRE W. The visit of the Yale crew to Henley this year is particularly interesting for more reasons than one. In the first place, there have been a few instances of diplomatic friction between England and America of late, and the importance of these matters is much more highly thought of in the States than here. Then, again, the famous yacht-races between Defender and Valkyrie had ...

... . CRICKET. Whenever the Gentlemen and Players matches come round they bring with them a reminder of the general poverty of amateur attack. I am aware that the gentlemen have more than once come off successfully against the professionals, hut I do not accept that fact as a refutation of my argument. For, you see, a weaker side has won matches times without number, and will continue to, with the ...

... . Racing has received a big fillip of late, as many big financiers have taken up with the sport of kings. I am not going to throw cold water on what the descriptive reporters are pleased to term the breeding boom; but I think it is possible to give too much even for a fashionable sire or mare; and as Charley Wood, a real good judge of 'osses, remarked to me recently, There was not much ...

... . The little girl whose picture is reproduced here is the daughter of Mr. C. Arthur Pearson, President of the Guildford Cycle Club, and better known to fame as the founder of Pearson's Weekly. Miss Pearson is just over seven, and may often be seen on the roads about Godaiming upon her midget mount, not unfrequently sweeping along hand-in-hand with her father, at, we fear, more than the ...

... TWO IDOLS OF THE PEOPLE. THE LATE MISS JENNY IIILL. The fact that Jenny Hill and Harriet Beecher-Stowe died within a few days of one another does not merit their names being coupled together; hut they must be classed together, though at the extreme ends of the scale, as unmistakable idols of the people, and that too in this country and America as well, although both had rather outlived their ...

... SOCIETY OH WHEELS. I understand that cycling on board ship is the latest development of the so-called craze. I understand that the Christopher Columbus whaleback steamer, plying between Chicago and Milwaukee on Lake Michigan, is supplied with a suitable track. I understand that in some of the States wheelwomen carry revolvers in order to keep off tramps, footpads, and other ...
