They are crowded with excursionists from all parts of England, who are coming in on special trains at all stations. Everything seems to be half done and incomplete. Many of the decorations are already seedy from two days’ storm. Nothing, however, seems to be lacking in enthusiasm, unless it is in the case of the syndicates of spec- ulators in jubilee seats, who, at all places except St. Paul's Cathedral, are accepting any reasonable offer. The combined losses of the four largest speculators exceed $200,- 000, and on every hand are inquiries as to “Where are the Americans?” Considerable disguest and even resentment is expressd at the fact that the Americans have not bought up all the available seats at the speculators’ prices. .Much sarcasm is di- rected against the standholders, Whistler's Sarcastic Cartoon. Whistler in Friday’s Chronicle has a sketch in which Nelson, speaking from the top of his monument in Trafalgar Square, is supposed to say: : “Bearded at last. England expects ev- ery man to be ridiculous.” In addition, St. Martin is depicted as put- ting up a sign on his church, reading: “Protestant house of the Lord to let. Apply to the money changers of the ves- ry.” A strange tale is vouched for by one London paper. It says that a wealthy member of the aristocracy has paid £350 ($1,750) for a room on St. James’ street. He is suffering, it is added, from a hideous malformation of the countenance. He will arrive late on Monday night, will spend that nigat in the room referred to and will witness the procession with his attendant, all other people being excluded from the room. For twenty-seven years, it is fur- ther stated, only two people have seen his face. The unfortunate man drives every night about London, and on entering and leaving his carriage, according to the news- paper, he covers his head with a hood. A discordant note of the festivities is the shabby way in which the colonial soldiers bave been treated. Again and again various Jetachments have arrived at noon, but have met with no intimation as to where they should go, and they found no food ready for them when they finally reached their barracks. The scandal was at last taken up by the press, especially by the Pall Mall Gazetie, the Globe and the Daily Mail, and the Prince of Wales him- self brought the red tape officials to their senses. There was a marked change when the Canadians arrived.

For the present the theaters are doing a Foor business, but it is probable that this “slump,” which is the chief topic of con- versation in theatrical circles, will come to an end with the jubilee celebration, which is doubtless its chief cause. Nordica and de Reszke at Outs. It has long been an open secret that a quarrel exists between Mme. Nordica and M. Jean de Reszke sufficiently serious to prevent the two eminent singers from ap- pearing in the same opera. Colonel Maple- son has, acting as mouthpiece for Mme. ‘dica, made public an explanation of the is misunderstanding, which, he says, originated during the last season in America. At that time Mme. Nordica, it seems, made some remarks complaining of the opposition to which she thought she was ihe object at the hands of M. de Reszke. These remarks, in an exaggerated form, found their way into the papers and made M. de Reszke so angry that when Mme. Nordica wrote to him to explain he re- turned the letter unopened. This occasion- ed a complete estrangement between the two artists, which still continues, and all attempts at reconciliation have, so far, Proved abortive. Meantime Mme. Nordica still remains out of the bill at the Covent Garden Opera House, and, as Colonel Ma- pleson’s projected opera season at Drury Lane seems to have fallen through, it be- gins to look as if the prima donna will not be heard in London during the present summer. The Drury Lane Theater belongs to the Duke of Bedford, who rents the house to the new company for £5,000 a year, which is to be gradually raised to £6,550, the com- pany also paying half the insurance pre- miums. Formerly the rent of the Drury Lane was £6,000 with £10 additional for every performance in the year above £200. Ancther interesting fact connected with the house is that it owns the celebrated Killigrew patent, granted in 1662 by Charles II to Thomas Kiligrew, his heirs and assigns, which was at the time a vir- tual monopoly of the thextrical business in London, Westminster and their suburbs. At present this patent has little, if any, value except as a dramatic curiosity, but even so late as the early years of the pres- ent century it was considered to be worth £16,000, as that was the price paid for it by the proprietors of Drury Lane to Shert- dan, who then owned it. — The Late Judge Harlan. s From the Louisville Times.
