THE CORONATION OF KING GEORGE V. 
 
 Slljg (flormmttott of King (Srorg? H. 
 
 M 
 
 This modest little publication is intended to convey to my readers 
 
 an Illustrated Description of the Coronation of King George V. 
 together with the Great Civic and Military Pageant and Festivities 
 accompanying it. These descriptions are given in the form of 
 letters containing accurate accounts of "Coronation Celebrations" 
 in other Towns and Cities in addition to the British Capitol. 
 
 To most Americans the brilliant and gilded Ceremonies attendant upon 
 such a Function may savor of "Barbaric Splendor", but we must remember it is 
 part and parcel of an Institution handed down for ages, becoming a custom as 
 necessary as it is pleasing to people of the old world. Regal Ceremony reaches 
 its highest pitch of Solemnity and Magnificence in the crowning of a British Sov- 
 ereign. The complicated Ritual has many meanings, which we shall try to ex- 
 plain — the gorgeous Vestments and Jewels made the Spectacle splendid to the 
 eye, while the place of the Crowning — Westminister Abbey with its associations 
 that are nothing less than the history of the Nation, adds the last touch of im- 
 pressiveness to a Scene never to be forgotten. 
 
 The events which transpired in old London on June 22, 23, were of 
 the greatest importance to the civilized world for it gave England anothei oppor- 
 tunity to show all Nations what a Magnificent Demonstration of Power on land 
 and sea, the "Tight Little Isle'' can make when occasion requires. That in- 
 spiring Pageant cost fifty millions of dollars and its successful termination proves 
 the Loyalty of countless millions to the Union Jack of Old England. 
 
 It was my privilege to present to His Majesty, a beautifully Illuminated 
 Address of Congratulation from the United British Societies of Lawrence, Mass., 
 which Address, by arrangement through the good offices of British Am- 
 bassador Bryce, U. S. Ambassador Reid, and Lord Knolleys, I was permitted 
 to present in person to His Majesty's representative — Sir. Edward Troup, at the 
 Home Office in Whitehall, London. 
 
 Therefore to His Excellency Pres. Taft, His Majesty King George V, 
 the titled gentlemen named and the officers and members of the United British 
 Societies of this City, this book is respectfully dedicated.

 THE CORONATION OF KING GEORGE V. 
 
 KING GEORGE TO THE BRITISH SOCIETIES 
 
 (From the Lawrence Critic, May 27, 1911.) 
 
 THE United British Societies of this city are at Washington, 
 to present to King Geoge V, a magnifi- Present at the meeting were thirty-three 
 
 cent illuminated address together with a delegates from eleven lodges and the following 
 
 gold jeweled badge of the society to which the commitee was appointed to draw up resolutions 
 
 new King was elected a life member at an en- which they promptly proceeded to do; John 
 
 thusiastic meeting of the delegates held Friday Briggs, Albert Douglas, W. H. Russel, Edward 
 
 night. Ingle and John Tait. 
 
 British Embassy, Washimgcon, 
 SIR: May 16, 1911 
 
 I have been desired by His Majesty King George 
 V, to convey to you his appreciation of the desire 
 of the United British Societies of Lawrence, Mass., to 
 present 'hirn a set of Congratulatory Resolutions, to- 
 gether with the Gold and Jeweled Badge of the Order, 
 on the occasion of his Coronation. 
 
 It will be a source of much gratification to His 
 Majesty to receive the Congratulatory Address and the 
 Badge of your 0rder o — I am, You Obedient Servant, 
 
 Joshua Jackson, Esq., Sec'ry, 
 United British Societies, 
 Lawrence, Mass. 
 
 This action was taken in response to the 
 Kings acceptance of the offer to present him 
 with an address. Three months ago Secretary 
 Jackson of the United British Societies with a 
 total membership of over 7,000, wrote to King 
 George's secretary and on Thursday the follow- 
 ing letter was received from Ambassador Bryce 
 
 ^^ 
 
 Brother Walter E. Rushforth, Editor of the 
 Lawrence Critic who is to attend the Corona- 
 tion as a representative of a syndicate of news- 
 papers and to gather material for a book, was 
 unanimously elected to personally present the 
 resolutions and gold medal to King George. 
 The resolutions read as follows. 
 
 MAY IT PLEASE YOUR MOST GRACIOUS MAJESTY. 
 
 c 
 
 OMING into your Majesty's hands from a 
 
 THOUGH living apart from your Majesty's 
 empire we are yet among kinsmen who 
 honor and respect Your Illustrious name, 
 scarcely less than we who have been loyal sub- 
 jects of Great Britain under the reigns of good 
 Queen Victoria and King Edward of happy 
 memory. 
 
 WE THE DELEGATES from eleven 
 affiliated British Societies of Lawrence 
 Massachusetts, beg you to accept the 
 assurance that no new associations can weaken 
 our love for our native land. No new ties dimi- 
 nish the respect and affectionate loyalty we feel 
 for you, or lessen for a moment our sense of the 
 high value of Your Majesty's beneficient influ- 
 ence in shaping the glorios course of the noble 
 empire over which in GOD'S Good Providence 
 you have been called upon to rule. 
 
 The British Societes feel highly pleased at the King's acceptance of their congratulations, for 
 §o far as can be learned Lawrence is the only city in the country to be thus honored- 
 
 seen how under Divine guidance, the Em- 
 pire has grown not only m extent but in all those 
 influences which conduce to Christian Civiliza- 
 tion and political freedom. 
 
 RESOLVED therefore that the United 
 British Societies of Lawrence, Massachu- 
 setts, view with pleasure the accession to 
 the throne of King George V, and it is our 
 earnest wish and prayer that you may long be 
 spared to rule over an affectionate and grateful 
 people. 
 
 BE it further resolved that these resolutions 
 together with the gold emblem of our 
 association be presented in person to His 
 Majesty King George V., by Walter E. 
 Rushforth. For the United British Societies of 
 Lawrence, Mass. 
 
THE CORONATION OF KING GEORGE V. 
 
 SAILS FOR FISHGUA RD— LONDON 
 
 Cunarder Franconia Makes Record Voyage in Sea as 
 Smooth as Glass. 
 
 Off Queenstown, June 5, 191 1 
 
 THE S. S. Franconia is about to complete a 
 record trip from Boston to Liverpool, and 
 at twilight the passengers (nearly 500) 
 who are to land at Queenstown are gathering 
 together their effects, in preparation for disem- 
 barkation to-morrow Tuesday after wh#t every- 
 one aboard, sailors included concedes to be the 
 
 I say the Franconia is about to complete a 
 "record" trip across, in that we have passed 
 every steamer and ship we have met since leav- 
 ing Boston, sailing in the opposite direction to 
 ourselves — and even one that was headed the 
 same way, a square-rigged Barkertine in full 
 sail, which we overhauled Sunday, just as 
 Divine Service was about to close. 
 
 Cu 
 
 pleasantest voyage of their careers. 1 
 weather could not have been made. We have 
 encountered but brief spells of fog — that dreaded 
 foe to all mariners, and have been blessed with an 
 utter absence of the proverbial sea sickness. 
 Quite a few on the second day, among the 1 700 
 passengers felt and looked a little pannicky 
 aroundjhe gills, but in face of the quibs of their 
 friends didn't give way to mal de mer. 
 
 THE S. S. FRANCONIA, 
 Line, The "Easiest" Boat that Ever Crossed the Pond. 
 
 ndeed better As the collection had already been taken 
 
 it did not interfere with the receipts. To pass 
 such a novelty is a rarity, according to Captain 
 Smith who ought to know. 
 
 The Franconia's biggest run was Monday, 
 when 394 miles were made, without pushing 
 things. Indeed it is quite apparent this ship is 
 capable of much higher speed whenever the 
 owners get ready. 
 
THE CORONATION OF KING GEORGE V. 
 
 We also carried a record crowd of excur- 
 sionists, among them being a large number of 
 Swedes, en route to the land of the midnight 
 sun, besides other nationalities, English people off 
 to the coronation predominating. 
 
 Among the steamers we met were the St. 
 Louis, Campania, Carpathia and Mauretania — 
 the Lusitama alone passing us. 
 
 Some of the passengers saw whales the 
 second day out — some, green monkeys, but most 
 of us saw Wales, when we arrived at Fishguard 
 early Wednesday, and boarded the Cunard's 
 special tram for dear old Lunnon. 
 
 A Priest and three Ministers, including a 
 Professor from Knox College (Presbyterian) of 
 Canada were among the second class passengers. 
 In the first Saloon was Sir John Murray, and 
 Col. Morgan, Editor of the Bos' on Globe. 
 
 To be exact we carried 
 1 759 passengers, 1 1 00 3rd class, 
 409 second and 250 first There 
 can be no doubt that running 
 Atlantic Steamers is a profitable 
 business, for according to my 
 figures upwards of $ 1 00,000 was 
 the total cost of transportation 
 alone, to travelers aboard this 
 modern and up-to-date steamer. 
 Figure it yourself. 409 2nd class 
 at an average of $52.00 each; 
 250 saloon at an average of 
 $1 25.00 and 3rd class at $37.50 
 each. Of this vast revenue the 
 millionaires in the first, contribute 
 $30,000. The 2nd class, $22, 
 500 and the third the most (as usual) $40,000. 
 
 We also have a Mayor besides several 
 would-be- Mayors among us. Our chairman at 
 the concert Monday night was Mayor Thorp of 
 Guelp in North West Canada, a city of 1 5,000 
 progressive Republicans, who though small in 
 numbers are up to snuff in modern progress and 
 operate even their own street railway system. 
 
 From a musical standpoint we have lacked 
 for nothing. Three pianos, two phonographs 
 and the ever present accordeon to say nothing of 
 the German Fluta purchased at Knuepfer and 
 Dimmocks, has been worked overtime with bud- 
 ding Carusos and Madame Melbas thrown in, 
 while from a sentimental standpoint those of a 
 spiritual temperament have had a surfeit of 
 hymns. Such popular ones as "Nearer My 
 
 God to Thee," "Gather at the River" and 
 "Where is my Wandering Boy" etc. have been 
 sung a thousand times, backways, front ways and 
 side ways. 
 
 Aboard an ocean liner there's always 
 some strong lunged adherent of Moody and San- 
 key to act as leader and prevent the rest dying 
 from <=unm. 
 
 But we have had a delightful trip, and the 
 best hotel in Lawrence sets no better table than 
 we have faced for the past week. The Stewards 
 with their army of assistants, male and female 
 have left no (rope) unturned ' to administer to the 
 comfort of passengers. The social side deserves 
 especial mention and in eight, times across I have 
 never met a finer crowd of men, women or chil- 
 dren crossing the big pond on pleasure bent. 
 
 There are several Lawrence people with us 
 
 SCENE ON THE UPPER DECK. 
 
 including Mr. Edward Whittaker, the Napper 
 Clothing Manufacturer, and they are all well and 
 enjoyed the trip immensely. 
 
 At the big concert the magnificent resolu- 
 tions to be presented to His Majesty King George 
 from the United British Societies were placed on 
 exhibition in the saloon, protected by a guard of 
 honor, and everyone aboard from Skipper to 
 Cook was inexpressively pleased at the opportu- 
 nity of seeing them. 
 
 In conclusion let me add, I am going to run 
 over to "gay Paree" after a stay in London, in 
 order that a comparison can be made between 
 the "Red Light" district of that city and Mayor 
 CahiU's baliwick to home.

 President Sends to King George "Cordial 
 Felicitations in the Name of People of 
 United States." 
 
 WASHINGTON, June 22-President Taft today sent 
 the following cablegram to King George : 
 
 "On this auspicious occasion I take sincere pleasure in 
 extending to your majesty cordial felicitations in the 
 name of the people of the United States and in my own, 
 and in expressing the cherished hope that, under your 
 guiding influence, the British dominion many flourish and 
 prosper, I assure your majesty of my best wishes for 
 your personal welfare and that of your majesty's family 
 and for the continuance of the friendly relations existing 
 between Great Britain and the United States,

 The British Union Jack, the King's colors, combines three 
 crosses— the cross of St. George, the cross of St. Andrew and the 
 cross of St. Patrick — all on a blue field. The union of these three 
 crosses occurred in an interesting fashion. Primarily England's 
 flag displayed a red cross on a white ground. The whita flag of St. 
 Andrew made its appearance side by side with that of St. George 
 during the reign of James I., the Scottish King, who ascended the 
 throne of England. It was not until later, however, in 1707, that 
 the two crosses were combined on the one banner and the white 
 emblem of St. Andrew ran from corner to corner of the blue field 
 and crossed the red emblem of St,. George. 
 
 Nearly a century later a red diagonal cross of St. Patrick's 
 found a place on the same flag. It was after the Irish parliament 
 was united to the British that this change took place.

 "Admittedly one of the ablest and most popular Chief Executives the Commonwealth of Massachusetts 
 has ever known."— Lawrence Critic. 
 
 l-JIS EXCELLENCY GOVERNOR FOSS was among the first to cable the King, sending congratulations in 
 behalf of the people of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to King George V., receiving a prompt and 
 courteous reply of acknowledgement from Lord Knollys, private secretary to His Majesty. The British Consul, Hon. 
 Frederick P. Leay, also cabled. 
 
 In every secton of the State, British Clubs and the Sons of St. George celebrated Coronation Day, June 22nd. 
 In Boston the Victorian Club held a grand Banquet at the Algonquin Club. President Graehme Haughton was 
 toastmaster. About 50 members of the club were present and the only outside guest was the British Consul, 
 Frederick P. Leay. The most memorable feature of the evening was the reading of a cable message from Lord 
 Knollys, private secretary of the king, conveying his majesty's acknowledgements of congralulations cabled earlier 
 in the day on behalf of the club.

 TWE CORONATION OF KING GEORGE V. 
 
 THE GREAT HARBOR AT QUEENSTOWN 
 
 London, June 1 5th. 
 
 THERE'S one thing I had totally forgotten 
 — namely the twilight one sees over here, 
 and which is entirely absent in America, 
 and we saw it to perfection in Queenstown Har- 
 bor Tuesday night. It was just after seven when 
 the tenders came along side to take aboard those 
 passengers who were to get off for old Ireland, 
 
 CHARLES DICKENS 
 
 ops of London famous. This i 
 . birch at No. a Little Turnstili 
 
 but it was too rough to make a safe landing, so 
 the captain elected to steam into the inner harbor 
 where the Ivernia lies like a disabled sea gull in 
 the water, resting on the sands while scores of 
 men are working in an effort to save her. 
 
 It was a beautiful Summer's night and the 
 scenes presented 5 ] on the banks were magnifi- 
 cent to say the least. Inside the breakwater 
 was like a sheet of transparant ice, upon while 
 thousands of sea gulls rested while the Franconia 
 disembarked her passengers, completing a scene 
 that Venice alone could hope to surpass. 
 Steaming gently out of the harbor headed for 
 Fishguard every man woman and child aboard 
 heartily responded to my voiceferous proposi- 
 tion, Three Cheers for Ireland! It was then 
 half past nine and you could read a newspaper 
 on deck. s 
 
 We arrived at Fishguard about 5 a. m. 
 Wednesday morning, and saw in reality the du- 
 plicate of the moving picture film of the Maure- 
 tania disembarking at this great terminus, as 
 shown at the Nickel theatre Lawrence three 
 weeks ago. 
 
 From Fishguard to London is a little over 
 200 miles on the Great Western Railroad, and 
 the Cunard Express makes but one stop as it 
 hustles at lightning speed to Paddington station, 
 London. Meanwhile you are travelling through 
 the most picturesque part of Great Britain. 
 
 The cars have every convenience, with a 
 corridor on the left, enabling one to walk the 
 entire length of the tram to the dming saloon, etc, 
 Before reaching London you pass through the 
 principal cities of Wales; Llewyn, Cardiff, etc.. 
 and cross the Thames river in several places, 
 passing through Reading, the home of the 
 famous Huntley & Palmer's biscuits, likewise 
 skirting Windsor Castle (in plain view) the 
 home of the late Queen Victoria. 
 
 You have to see the country we passed 
 through to realize how charming it is. Vegeta- 
 tion stretching for miles, with fields of butter- 
 cups and daisies, poppies and wild flowers. 
 It is a veritable fairyland at this season. 
 
 At Paddington station we were met by a 
 
 taxi cab, so it looked just like leaving home for 
 
 So. Lawrence in Collins' taxi, only there are 
 
 hundreds, yes thousands of them in London, 
 
 and over fifty of them were quickly used by 
 
 Americans in our party. 
 
 London is enjoying exceptionally good hot

 of the world. 
 
 The greatest and most historical city in the 
 world is preparing for the "Big Show" — corona- 
 tion week, and hundreds of viewing stands are 
 
 HARLECH CASTLE, 
 
 one of the Show places of England. 
 
 already erected in anticipation thereof, where 
 seats may be had from $5 to $50 apiece. 
 
 No use in talking this place has Lawrence 
 skun a mile — it is even bigger than Boston or 
 
 New York. There are not less than five millions 
 
 here now, with millions more to come. Sixty 
 
 thousand soldiers are to mark the line of parade, 
 
 but just where yours truly fits in I have not yet

 HIS MAJESTY KING GEORGE V. 
 
 King George V. can trace his lineage back 
 probably as certainly as such a matter can be 
 traced, to Edward I., who flourished in the 1 3 
 hundreds. His immediate family line, as an 
 English royal personage, begins with George I., 
 but skips George IV. and William IV. as he 
 inherits through the Duke of Kent, who never 
 reigned. 
 
 HER MAJESTY QUEEN MARY 
 
 Whose lovable disposition and Queenly bearing 
 is making her the idol of the British people.

 The peers of Great Britain have yielded to the 
 inevitable in the House of Lords and passed the 
 bill stripping them of the power of veto upon the 
 House of Commons measures, not because they 
 wanted to, to. but because they were resigned 
 after the manner of the Dutchman's wife-they 
 had lo be. The threat of the creation of hundreds 
 of new peers was more than they could stand up 
 against; it was too terrible a thundeibolt, and 
 they avoided it. 
 
 Thus passes into history one of the most 
 momentous struggles of democracy against here- 
 ditary privilege that England has known in 100 
 years. Thus ships off into the past forever all 
 vestige of real powpr in the porti n of Parliament 
 that is not chosen by the perple. Thus Britain 
 
 Our Junior Senator 
 
 HON. W. MURRAY CRANE,

 stands forth at last a democracy in everything but 
 the name and a republic in all but the toleration 
 of a King. 
 
 For the brilliant, forceful, unswerving and most 
 important of all— successful fight he has wared 
 in behalf of complete popular government, Pre" 
 mier Asquith deserves and will receive a fame that 
 will place him among the great statesmen of Eng- 
 land. He has been calm amid abuse, resourceful 
 in difficult circumstances and courageous above 
 all. If he shall now add home rule for Ireland to 
 his achievments— and there is little doubt that he 
 will— his life work will have been one for any man 
 to be proud of.

 CORONATION EXHIBITION AT THE "WHITE CITY." 
 
 PROBABLY before this appears in print the 
 Great Coronation Parade and Pageant will 
 
 be a thing of the past, and King George 
 have been formally recognized as Ruler of Great 
 Britain and Ireland, India, etc., by the great na- 
 tions of the earth, after a ceremony which, far 
 gorgeousness and splendor, has never been equal- 
 ed let alone surpassed since the world began. 
 
 There are several so-called Coronation ex- 
 hibitions going on in this metropolis, and a brief 
 description of the "White City" will prove 
 interesting. 
 
 At "Shepherd's Bush," 
 reached by the underground 
 "Tube" you come to a vast 
 acreage of buildings built on a 
 scale of magnificence that must 
 be seen to be realized. What 
 with the substantiality of the 
 scores of towenng exhibition 
 halls, gardens, courts, drives 
 and walks, to say nothing of 
 the charming lagoons covered 
 with boats and launches, the 
 "White City" leaves such 
 attractions as Dreamland, 
 Wonderland and Coney Island 
 away in the van. 
 
 In fact this place is big 
 enough to contain the three 
 named, and then leave ample 
 room for half a million well 
 dressed Londoners to prome- 
 nade in comfort. 
 
 It is the solid, permanent 
 construction of these pleasure 
 resorts that astonishes the foreigner, who is used 
 to seeing such affairs flimsily put together. 
 
 The exhibition I allude to shows the arts, 
 industries and resources of the British Empire. 
 Canada, New Zealand and the colonies all being 
 represented by different buildings containing 
 natives and priceless exhibits, the admission to 
 everything being but 25 cents. 
 
 There was a dozen or more crack Military 
 Bands discoursing British and imported music, 
 mostly British, however, which sounded real good 
 after many years absence. 
 
 Entering the main gates, the first object

 Agra, Singapore 
 
 A FAMILIAR SIGHT TO LONDONERS 
 
 The Horse Guards at the Entrance to Whitehall 
 
 Barracks. 
 
 seen by the visitor is the Hall of Splendor, which 
 represents an Indian Palace, and next the oriental 
 section is entered. In the first building are a 
 number of Panoramas and Reproductions of 
 Bombay, Elephants, Oudepore, Buddah's Temple 
 Giant Bamboos, the City of Kandy, and an 
 Indian Jungle. 
 
 Turning to the left is a building devoted to 
 India, and the East, which includes views of 
 Jeypore, Amber, Gwalior, Amritza, Duttiah, 
 Benares, Lucknow, Calcutta, 
 New Guinea, Hong Kong, 
 Mandalay, Borneo and Pagan. 
 There are a dozen other 
 "palaces" adorned with thou- 
 sands of electric bulbs which 
 at night presents fairyland in 
 gigantic proportions. At this 
 time with the illuminated falls 
 and electric fountains, a half 
 hour's ride round the lagoon 
 in an electric launch is a treat 
 never to be forgotton. 
 
 There are Hindoo Tem- 
 ples of Magic, Cingalese, 
 Chinese, a Somali Village and 
 Bush Rangers from Australia. 
 The "side show" attrac- 
 tions are many and novel. 
 Among the new ones, to me 
 at least, was the Cyclone, the 
 only one of its description and 
 size in England, is the latest 
 ride introduced in London. 
 The car in which the visitor 
 is seated whirls and turns, 
 twirls about in a most amusing, fascinating and 
 delightful manner, and appeals to old and young 
 alike. 
 
 Then there's the Witching Waves. The 
 visitor travels on one of the specially contnved 
 cars and steers his own course across the raging 
 island ocean. 
 
 The funniest of all however is the Wiggle- 
 Woggle, the last word in freak rides, enables the 
 visitor to take a trip exciting and novel in a 
 degree never dreamt of by ordinary mortals. The 
 passengers are seated in a circular cab, and by 
 means not divulged are twisted and twirled in a

 hat. 
 
 They are handsome looking 
 
 and dressed in about every style 
 
 that ever came down the pike. 
 
 Everything goes here, when it

 good. When we used to meet 
 
 a man in Lawrence with his 
 
 pants turned up we would say, 
 
 "it is raining in London," but

 week seen a man or boy with

 peculiar sensation which is ex-

 THE CORONATION OF KING GEORGE V. 
 
 LIVING IN LONDON TOWN. 
 
 London, England, June 14, 1911 
 
 WE have been in the world's metropolis just 
 one week, and one week from this day 
 the greatest event in recent British his- 
 tory will have been consumated, and of this fact 
 you will doubtless be fully aware. 
 
 In this letter I am going to dwell upon 
 
 BUCKINGHAM PALACE 
 
 The London Residence of their Majesties King George 
 and Queen Mary. 
 
 observations made in this city of eight millions. 
 Arriving here 1 was struck with the sight of my 
 brother George's initials everywhe-e displayed 
 in conspicuous gold letters G. R. It seemed 
 as if he owned London, but I soon discDvered 
 this had sole reference to the King and meant 
 George Reigns. So does our George— at 3 
 Dashwood Road. From the humblest to the 
 wealthiest, everybody decorates, and I have 
 gazed upon tons of crowns and sceptres, etc., 
 with more or less gold on them. 
 
 London appears to be the jeweler's para- 
 dise. There are thousands of stores devoted 
 exclusively to expensive jewelry, gold, silver- 
 ware and diamonds. Diamonds especially, and 
 any one store on Bond Street is displaying more 
 genuine diamonds than you would find in the 
 average American city. 
 
 For weeks an army of decorators have 
 worked day and night on the streets and build- 
 ings of the city. In Piccadilly Circus to Tra- 
 falgar Square, and reaching beyond Westminster 
 thousands of flag-poles dot the sidewalks, while 
 hundreds of immense Corinthian columns, paint- 
 ed white and topped with heraldic statuary, 
 
 adorn the line of march, set about twenty feet 
 
 apart. The grandstands, of which there are 
 
 over 1,500 — not including thousands of window 
 
 seats and smaller stands — are erected and await 
 
 the purchasers of seats upon them, who have 
 
 paid anywhere from ten shillings to three 
 
 guineas. A "Guinea" here being $5.25. The 
 
 grandstands are each tested by a squad of big 
 
 strapping "cops" who report any deficiency or 
 
 tendency to collapse. 
 
 Seating capacity in these stands has been 
 provided for fully half-a-million, and it has been 
 carefully estimated that this pageant or Corona- 
 tion of the King will cost the British public 
 fifty million dollars. 
 
 But with all these seats confronting you 
 
 I have not yet selected mine, and am certainly 
 
 not going to "cough up" fifteen cold plunks to 
 
 see the King and Queen ride by in a gilded 
 
 coach, much as I love the old country and its 
 
 traditions. Fortunately, and through the 
 
 courtesy of my friend Hon. William Phillips, 
 
 chief counsellor of the American Embassy, to 
 
 whom I bore a letter of introduction from U. S. 
 
 Senator Lodge, I have been presented with a 
 
 Press Badge, which takes you through the lines 
 
 and about everywhere except to the private

 The stores here are remarkably well

 store clerks are as well paid as in Boston or 
 New York, as a rule. They make their homes 
 in the many delightful suburbs, where a five or

 the ideal pavement for the thousands of motor 
 car, motor busses and taxi cabs. In wet 
 weather, however, it is something dreadful, 
 until men, at convenient intervals spread rough 
 gravel on the streets to prevent skidding. 
 
 Automobilists have a habit of painting the 
 tires white every day, just as the housewife sees 
 that the steps of her domicile are kept neatly 
 scoured with white or yellow sandstone. This 
 gives a continual appearance of newness to the 
 machines, but better still indicates their 
 approach. 
 
 Yesterday we passed a pleasant day at the 
 Zoo, and at Madame Tussaud's World-famous 
 Wax-work Exhibition. The Zoo compares 
 favorably with the Bronx Park Zoo in New 
 York, but you pay an entrance fee of 25 cents. 
 The "bull-pup" Jack Needham presented me 
 with six months ago would make an admirable 
 addition to the great collection of Quadrupeds 
 seen there. 
 
 Madame Tussaud's continues to attract, 
 
 and hundreds of visiting troops from Canada, 
 Australia, India and Africa were among the 
 visitors. The world's celebrities are shown in 
 wax. There were Ex-Presidents Garfield, 
 Lincoln, McKinley and Roosevelt as well as 
 President Taft looking as natural as life: Kings 
 and Queens from the beginning of the English 
 dynasty to the present and in many cases 
 dressed in their original garments, greet the eye. 
 Cnppen the murderer, and Johnny Hayes, 
 winner of the Olympia marathon, also Dorando, 
 etc., were seen true to life. 
 
 I enquired from one of the attendants if 
 they had a wax counterpart of "Rush" the great 
 American Traveller, and he replied, "Not yet, 
 but one is in preparation." 
 
 The world's great leaders, musicians, poets 
 and writers are all to be seen in a dazzling and 
 countless exhibition that must be seen to be 
 properly appreciated. We are enjoying excep- 
 tionally fine sunshiny weather, something entirely

 CROWN JEWELS IN THE TOWER 
 
 Yet these precious things, over which so many 
 
 WHAT associations are suggested as one reverent fingers had passed for so many years, 
 looks upon the crown iewels so carefullv mav > historians tell us, have dated back to pre- 
 
 conquest times; anyhow we read, in an old 
 chronicle that they "belonged anciently to King 
 Edward the Confessor," and the same chronicler 
 — Anthony Wood it is — describes how, in the 
 republican days, one naughty fellow dressed 
 up in the time-sanctified trappings, declaring 
 loudly that "there should be no further use of 
 these toyes and trifles." 
 
 Unfortunately for republican ideas of 
 economy, however, royal or- 
 naments were to be 'of furthur 
 use,' and a few years later, 
 when the restoration came, the 
 crown jewels had to be remade 
 at a cost of $3 1 ,978, whereas 
 the old ones had been valued 
 at only an odd thousand or so. 
 It would have been better to 
 have kept them. 
 
 Immediately after the re- 
 storation, as is well known, 
 occurred Colonel Blood's ab- 
 surd attempt to carry off the 
 regalia from the tower. 
 
 The story is absolutely correct. Blood 
 made friends with old Talbot Edwards keeper 
 of the jewels in the Tower, by pretending to be 
 a parson who wanted, with his wife, to innocent- 
 ly view the jewels. The acquaintance thus 
 struck up was helped by the supposed parson's 
 proposing a match between the daughter of the 
 
 linger over in this fairy-tale Edwards' and a nephew of his own. The 
 
 Unfortunately (in a sense) there are fewer nephew was to be brought at seven o'clock one 
 doubts about the English regalia, since they date May morning to meet the daughter. 
 
 London, June 20th 
 HAT associations are suggested as one 
 looks upon the crown jewels so carefully 
 guarded by the stalwart Beef Eaters of 
 Old England. A Coronation with the magnifi- 
 cence of its ancient ritual revives something of the 
 legends and stories connected therewith. 
 
 What well-brought-up boy or little girl will 
 recognize a king, in the true fairy-tales, unless he 
 wear a crown, as in the pictures he invariably 
 does? So for us, grown-up children, the crowns 
 of this coronation week are the magic golden 
 circles drawing all eyes to- 
 wards the King and Queen, 
 to whom they give power 
 and added dignity and emin- 
 ence. 
 
 Crowns have always had 
 a peculiar, a mystic significance 
 for ordinary men. Long ago 
 in early ages of dim faith, 
 Kings dedicated their crowns 
 to the Redeemer, as, after 
 a battle, knights hung up their 
 votive swords. In the great 
 church of Aix-la-Chapelle, 
 you may see fierce Barbarossa's crown of copper 
 suspended above the tomb of Charlemagne, and, 
 if you like, to pay five shillings or so you will be 
 shown at Monza, near Milan, the famous Iron 
 Crown of Lombardy inside which (the story goes) 
 is actually a Nail from the True Cross. But there 
 are disputes about this as about most other relics 
 — doubt about authenticity which we will not

 clastic revolution and chopping-to-pieces period 
 of 1649 caused the old ornaments to be "by 
 order of Parliament totally broken and defaced." 
 
 At seven o'clock, indeed, appeared Blood, 
 but with him were three ruffians who came to 
 the Jewel house all armed with rapier blades 
 concealed in their canes. Edwards was bound

 PRESENTS RESOLUTIONS TO SIR EDWARD TROUP. 
 
 London, June 21, 191 1. 
 
 HAVING an audience with King George 
 V., or his most direct representative at the 
 Home Office, who is Sir Edward Troup 
 C. B., the REAL Home Secretary being 
 Winston Churchill, is more difficult by reason of 
 the old country red tape and prejudice, than it 
 was to "dine" with the late lamented Queen 
 Victoria. 
 
 THE HOME OFFICE 
 
 At Whitehall, where the Resolutions from the British Societies 
 
 were presented in person by Mr. Rushforth to Sir Edward 
 
 Troup, representing the King. 
 
 London is practically an Empire; with 
 magnificent and massive buildings that have made 
 history in many centuries, its cathedrals and 
 palaces, its royalty and soldiers galore. A pano- 
 rama is presented of kaleidoscopic beauty which 
 engages and yet perplexes the visitor from the 
 new world. 
 
 If there's any more "red tape" in Russia, 
 China, or Japan than permeates the Royal 
 environs of Buckingham Palace or Windsor 
 Castle, then you'll have to show me. This is 
 absolutely necessary, however, for the integrity 
 of the Empire, no less than for the dignity of 
 the Crown which may not be exploited by 
 tradesmen or ambitious politicians. 
 
 The King's household pay for what they 
 get like other mortals, and to receive gifts or 
 delegations of irresponsible persons bearing gifts 
 of gold, frankinsense and myrrh is neither con- 
 sidered dignified or proper. Therefore to be 
 received by the active Home Secretary, Sir 
 Edward Troup, personally designated by His 
 Majesty is a distinguished honor few visitors 
 are accorded. 
 
 The reception and presentation of the reso- 
 lutions took place last Friday afternoon at four 
 o'clock in the Home Office, Whitehall, and was 
 by previous appointment. 
 
 Fortified with introductory letters from 
 Lord Knollys, His Majesty's private secretary, 
 and Hon. William Phillips, First Counsellor at 
 the American Embassy. I was then ushered 
 into the presence of probably the most demo- 
 cratic Knight of the many who boast the title of 
 SIR to their front names. 
 
 Sir Edward was delighted to receive, what 
 he termed, "The handsomely engraved Resolu- 
 tions from former British residents now settled in 
 the States, as it indicated a feeling of love for 
 their home country, which he felt sure their 
 Majesties the King and Queen would gratefully 
 appreciate. 
 
 Sir Edward asked about Lawrence, and 
 profusely thanked me for a copy of "Rush's" 
 Trolley Guide and post cards ofthe Wood, Arling- 
 ton and Uswoco Mills from Lawrence, the 
 "Industrial Centre" of the United States. 
 
 Hon. William Phillips, first secretary of the 
 Embassy, hails from Wenham Lake, near 
 Beverly, and has been located in London the 
 past two years. 
 
 After the pre- 
 sentation of 
 the resolutions 
 Sir Edward 
 conducted 
 myself and 
 Brother Geo., 
 who accom- 
 p a n l e d me, 
 through the 
 Home Office, 
 which is per- 
 haps the most 
 important of 
 the many ex- 
 ecutive man- 
 sions with 
 which this city 
 is percolated.

 procession of progress, and Saturday "Yours 
 truly" for Bradford, Morcambe Bay and other 
 places dear to Yorkshire people everywhere.

 THE CORONATION OF KING GEORGE V. 
 
 GREENWICH ARSENAL-WHERE 
 "TIME" IS MADE. 
 
 London, June 22, 1911. 
 
 THE visitor to London fails in his mission 
 unless he makes a trip to Greenwich — 
 
 where "time is made" via one of the 
 many fast turbine steamers running from the 
 Thames Embankment, directly under the shadow 
 of "Big Ben" — the noted clock that chimes the 
 hours and quarters from the Tower of West- 
 minster. 
 
 Greenwich Arsenal was the making of

 Seated on the esplanade at Greenwich 
 overlooking the busy Thames, one can imagine 
 how Lord Nelson left the Court of St. James on 
 the mission of his life — for his greatest test and 
 he proved, as the world knows, equal to the task 
 and made for himself a name that will endure 
 for ever.

 dedicated to his memory, we gazed upon the 
 relics of this great sailor. We saw the very 
 clothes, admiral's uniform and sword he wore at 
 the great battle of Trafalgar Bay, when, after 
 acheiving the greatest naval victory in the 
 world's history against the combined navies of 
 France and Spain, he received his death wound, 
 expiring aboard the "VICTORY" he loved so

 port he sailed on the greatest achievements in his 
 illustrious career.

 June 22nd, 5 P. M 
 
 IT'S all over now but the shouting — and that 
 will continue for weeks to come — the great- 
 est, most impressive and elaborate crowning of 
 a King and Queen in the history of great Britain. 
 London has had some wonderful pageants, but 
 
 Carriage of the German Crown Prince, emerging from 
 Admiralty Arch. 
 
 by common consent the one just over by reason 
 of the admirable police preparations and precau- 
 tions could not have been improved upon. Not 
 an accident occurred to mar the occasion beyond 
 a few fainting Ladies who were speedily attend- 
 ed to by hundreds of Red Cross men and women, 
 boy Scouts, the Army Ambulance Corps and 
 the 1 2,000 police who practically encompassed 
 the vast army of sightseers, 
 
 It is estimated that over a million strangers 
 stopped last night in London, while thousands 
 more slept all night in the open parks to secure 
 a favorable vantage point for this morning. 
 
 Think of it, the route of parade miles in 
 extent with a military force estimated at 60,000 
 and on hundreds of by-streets, special gates had 
 been erected to be closed the moment the crowds 
 within the enclosure threatened to become un* 
 
 managable. London was taught a lesson at 
 King Edwards funeral when no less than 6,000 
 including soldiers were attended to by the Am- 
 bulance Corps. Everything was changed today. 
 The Boy Scouts rendered great service, going 
 among the congested crowds in the parks, streets, 
 and avenues distributing water to those who had 
 stood for hours waiting to see their King and 
 Queen. 
 
 It was my pleasure to receive a card from 
 Commissioner of Police Henry, permitting my 
 going through the lines at any point. 
 
 Armed with this Press badge, I took up a 
 position at the Admiralty Arch, a massive stone 
 structure at the main entrance to Green Park 
 which is alongside Carleton House Terrace, the 
 Admiralty buildings, and leads directly to Buck- 
 ingham Palace from whence the King and 
 Queen with visiting Royalti s from every corner

 of the Globe emerged on their way to the ser-

 grand stands with seats costing from three to five 
 guines each lined both sides of the drive way.

 THE CORONATION OF KING GEORGE.-Continued 
 
 From 8 a. m. to 1 2m, we held our position 
 and needless to add we saw all that was to be 
 seen at the closest range possible and were fur- 
 thermore protected from the intermittent showers 
 of the morning which fortunately were of brief 
 duration. 
 
 THE SOLEMN SERVICES. 
 
 God save the King, 
 Long live the King, 
 May the King live for ever. 
 
 With the grand paean with which the Jews 
 of old greeted their Sovereign ringing in his ears, 
 George the Fifth, by the Grace of God, King, 
 
 Without, with tense breath and hushed 
 voices, his subjects waited, after their King had 
 passed amid their plaudits to his crowning, until 
 the thunder of guns, the joyous clamour of bells, 
 and the trumpets' blare proclaimed him crown- 
 ed. Then as with one soul they raised their cry: 
 GOD SAVE THE KING. 
 
 And every unit of that million-throated 
 multitude felt something of a thrill as he realized 
 that the well-known words seem suddenly to 
 have acquired a new intensity and a new reality 
 of meaning. 
 
 For at that moment the Sailor Prince, the 
 man-of-war's man, of but yesterday, was seated 
 before the altar of God, on the chair of St. Ed- 
 
 Defender of the Faith, was at noon today, con- 
 secrated and crowned. 
 
 Thousands upon thousands of his people, 
 saw him pass to the Abbey, that is the home of 
 the nation's heroes; millions more throughout his 
 far-flung Empire had minds and hearts intent on 
 the Coronation church of kings and its great 
 ceremony. 
 
 Within the time-worn walls, with the most 
 splendid ritual of religion, the most gorgeous 
 panoply of chivalry, the King devoted himself 
 and was consecrated to the service of God and 
 his people, 
 
 ward, with head bowed in kingly humility to 
 receive at the hands of the Archbishop of Can- 
 terbury the Crown of his ancestors. 
 
 I will not paticularize on the two royal 
 parades which preceeded the entrance of the 
 King himself. These included Princes, Dukes, 
 Earls, Lords and Duchesses, going to Westmin- 
 ster with all the pomp and ceremony possible, 
 but it was the Heralds announcing the coming of 
 King George himself which brought millions to 
 their feet,

 Their Majesties appeared in a happy frame

 It was "bedlum let loose." For miles back you 
 could hear the approaching calvacade — you said 
 
 amen to their shouts of "vivas" hurrahs, and the 
 strains of "God save the King" was taken up by

 Seated on the famous "Coronation chair of

 head, breast and palms. 
 
 Then he was invested with the garments 
 of his priestly office and presented with the spurs 
 and sword, the armilla and the royal robe, the 
 ring, and the sceptre with the Cross and the 
 sceptre with the dove. 
 
 Still seated in King Edward's chair, his

 placed on his head all the peers assumed their 
 coronets, which they had previously taken off.

 next of the Princes of the Blood Royal, and 
 then of the dukes, marquesses, earls, viscounts 
 and barons, according to their orders. 
 
 The briefer ceremony of the Queens Coro- 
 nation was then performed by the Primate. 
 
 After a brief rest in the Chapel Royal their 
 Majesties began their triumphant return to Buck- 
 ingham palace when the tumultous reception of 
 the early morn was renewed by the millions of 
 people who had patiently awaited their coming.

 ENGLAND'S RULER AS A CHILD. 
 
 London, Eng., June 24, 1911. 
 
 The Coronation is but two days past, and 
 people everywhere are praying for more 
 
 "King's weather "--so say we all. It was my 
 pleasure to be introduced the other night, at the 
 Authors' Club Banquet, to an elderly gentleman, 
 now connected with a leading London Daily, who 
 was for many years private tutor to King George 
 when a youth. He described to me in detail his 
 observations. Among other things he said; — 
 
 "The King as a child was a fine type of 
 British youngster, full of go, with a spice of mis- 
 
 simply bade him wait until he was. 
 
 I'm good now,' at length came a meekly 
 penitent voice from under the table. 'Then you 
 may come out,' answered the most regal of 
 modern Queens. And forth from under the table 
 darted a small boy, as naked as the day he was 
 born, and danced exultantly around the room. 
 
 On another occasion he and his brother, 
 Prince Eddy, were in the maze at Hampton 
 Court. The wasting of a summer's afternoon 
 over the drab monotony of endless blind alleys was 
 not at all to the liking of a boy of Prince George's 
 
 The King and Qu?en with Seals of the Colonies. 
 
 chief, a keen love of adventure, and a very strong 
 will of his own, and, truth to tell, he was at 
 times something of a pickle. Nothing could give 
 a better idea of what the present sovereign was 
 like in nursery day than the well-known story of 
 his grandmother, to punish him for some childish 
 escapade, told him to go under the table at which 
 she was writing and stay there until he was good. 
 After a long pause she asked him if he was good 
 yet. 'Not yet, grannie,' she was answered 
 promptly. As the reply was quite characteristic 
 of the wilful and always bluntly truthful child, 
 the Queen was not particularly surprised, and 
 
 irresistible activity. Waiting a favorable oppor- 
 tunity, he burst his way through the hedges and 
 gained his release, only to run full into the arms 
 of an ancient marshalman. This dignitary was 
 appalled at such desecration of Hampton Court's 
 most vaunted treasure, and made to seize the 
 miscreant, who, however, managed to wriggle 
 free. The Prince took to his heels, the guardian 
 of the palatial order laboring rheumatically after 
 him. The little maze-breaker easily out-distanc- 
 ed his pursuer, but no power on earth would 
 make him venture into "The Wilderness" again 
 to rejoin his family.

 blue-jackets." 
 
 Despite the acknowledged world-wide 
 popularity of the late King Edward, his successor 
 to the throne appears to be following in his foot- 
 steps in his desire to please all his subjects. Mon- 
 day night next he tenders a dinner to 1 00,000 
 poor children of the East End at which each 
 child will be given a box of chocolates and a 
 coronation mug. Their majesties the King and 
 Queen are also to grace the occasion with their 
 august presence. 
 
 The new Prince of Wales, George, eldest 
 son of the King was on Wednesday invested 
 with the Order of the Garter at Windsor Castle.

 THE KIN G IN LONDON- 
 
 His Majesty Visits Aldershot and Speaks to Veterans. 
 
 The King left the royal pavilion at Aider- 
 shot at ten o'clock yesterday morning and motor- 
 ed to town reaching Buckingham Palace in time 
 for lunch. His Majesty looked all the better 
 for his brief stay in the pine-woods country. 
 
 Such time as the King has been able to 
 spend in the saddle with the troops in training 
 has visibly brought him true delight, while in the 
 pure, invigorating upland air the day's work has 
 been less fatiguing than in London. 
 
 His Majesty's departure from Aldershot 
 was marked by an entire absence of ceremonial. 
 He has not permitted his presence in camp to 
 vary the regular course of the summer training, 
 neither did his departure interfere with it. The 
 troops of the Aldershot Command were all put 
 on their alloted areas of mancevring ground yes- 
 terday morning. Not even a guard of honour 
 was detached from the training when the King 
 left the bungalow. The Duke of Connaught, 
 the royal suite, and General Sir Horace Smith- 
 
 Dorrien, with the Aldershot headquarters staff, 
 accompanied the King. On the way to London 
 the King had arranged to see something of the 
 work of still another branch of the military force. 
 Each arm of the Regular Army, Cavalry, Artil- 
 lery, and Infantry, he had seen at its training, as 
 well as men of the Territorial Force of London 
 and its other suburbs. Now, on the way to town 
 his Majesty found time to seize an opportunity 
 that offered of visiting a training camp of the 
 newly formed Special Reserve, which is really 
 under another name what reorganization has left 
 of the old Militia. 
 
 The most picturesque incident of the day 
 came just before the King re-entered his motor- 
 car at 1 1 .45. An aged but very upright Cri- 
 mean and Indian Mutiny veteran, clad in a thread- 
 bare frockcoat and a soft felt hat of antique 
 pattern, was introduced to the King by Major 
 Wigram, and the King conversed with the old 
 man and shook hands very cordially.

 THE CORONATION OF KING GEORGE V. 
 
 PARADE OF ROYAL PROGRESS 
 
 London, June 24, 1911 
 
 LONDON'S record parade — the procession 
 of Progress given Friday, the day following 
 
 the Coronation parade was a brilliant 
 pageant of Militarism at the head of which rode 
 the newly crowned King. Visiting Royalties 
 and the Ambassadors from every nation were 
 afforded a concrete example of the power of 
 Great Britain on land and sea. 
 
 The City griffin preened its brazen feathers 
 and pranced in glee on its pillar'd perch at 
 Temple Bar. 
 
 that the eye beholding it became a human kalei- 
 doscope. The one hue of the rainbow that 
 seemed to be missing was green, the restful hue 
 that Nature lavishes for tired eyes. There was 
 a glint of it, of course, in the waving plumes of 
 the Irish Lancers. But the Royal Progress 
 mainly wrapped in red the long processional way. 
 Red in all its subtle shadings was conspicuous 
 everywhere — from the vivid scarlet of the robes 
 of City Aldermen and the uniforms of Field- 
 Marshals and Staff officers to the plum-colour 
 tunics of Austrian Hussars. 
 
 Queen Victoria Memorial — Unveiled by His Majesty King George, V., May 16, 1911 
 
 It's eagle eye was turned expectantly to the 
 west. For George the Fifth, the new-crowned 
 King, was coming to make his State entry into 
 his "most loyal City of London." 
 
 The Royal Progress yesterday through 
 seven miles of streets was chiefly a display of 
 martial pomp, in which every arm of the service 
 was represented. It was so long that it took an 
 hour to pass through the Strand where I had 
 taken a position surrounded by half a dozen 
 London '"Cops" who pointed out the different 
 features of the parade. It was so full of varied 
 colour in the passage of a multitude of uniforms 
 
 When the British Army turns out in full 
 dress to make a show it does the thing thorough- 
 ly. When it has the help of the "handy men" 
 — who, although plain-dressing men themselves 
 in serviceable sailor garb, can boast of officers in 
 all the glory of gold lace and weighty epaulettes 
 and of civic dignitaries in all the panoply of civic 
 state, with gilded maces, cocked hats, and colour- 
 ed gowns, Londoners may be sure of a display 
 worth waiting to see.

 their side on horseback, the King and Queen 
 in a high State carnage drawn by the famous 
 team of eight cream horses. The King was 
 wearing a Field-Marshal's uniform and Queen 
 Mary looked radiant in a delicate shade of blue. 
 
 AT TEMPLE BAR 
 Five halts were made on the long journey 
 addresses being first presented at Waterloo- 
 place by the Westminster City Council, at 
 Trafalgar-square by the London County Council, 
 and at Aldwych by the Northern Boroughs. 
 That at Temple Bar was an immemorial cere- 
 mony in which the Lord Mayor, waiting afoot, 
 played a principal part. 
 
 At the approach of their Majesties the 
 Lord Mayor advanced with mace reversed, and 
 taking the Pearl Sword from the civic sword- 
 bearer, lowered the point in suggestion of sub- 
 mission to the King's Majesty. He offered the 
 Coronation congratulations of the citizens and 
 presented the Sword to the King. 
 
 The King lightly touched the emblem of 
 power, and returned it graciously to the Lord 
 Mayor, who thus admitted King George and 
 Queen Mary to the City of London. The little 
 episode lasted only a few minutes, but it kept 
 alive many ancient privileges which Londoners 
 stoutly cheiish. 
 
 AT SOUTHPORT, ENGLAND 
 
 The Sea is Receding, but its Popularity as a Resort Increases 
 
 FOR years the sea at Southport has consis- 
 tently receded, so that today the actual tide 
 is almost two miles from the Boulevard or 
 Promenade. The long headed Southporters 
 however quick to remedy things had two artifi- 
 cial Lakes made, so with sea water pumped daily 
 the old water front still presents a sea aspect, 
 
 The Donkeys on the Sands at Southport, England. 
 
 where the children may sail, fish or bathe in per- 
 fect safety. What the actual sea left vacant is 
 covered by a "Midway" which suggests Coney 
 Isle and other American resorts. 
 
 Southport is to Lancashire what Morcambe 
 Bay is to Yorkshire, hence it is the popular va- 
 cation spot for Lancashire lads and lassies — and 
 there is not a more jovial class of people in the 
 world. They not only enjoy themselves but 
 afford the same privilege to all other visitors. 
 
 The pier at this place is about a mile long 
 and is traversed by open Tramways and upon 
 which there is erected a museum and theatre 
 with numerous side shows and other attractions. 
 
 Upon the sands stretching a good two 
 miles are herds of donkeys as may be seen by 
 the accompanying picture, which are the delight 
 of the younger set and a pleasant memory to 
 older ones.

 DEAR OLD MORECAMBE BAY 
 
 Morecambe Bay, June 29, 1911. 
 
 Here we are, at old Morecambe 
 Bay, the sea side resort of Yorkshire 
 and Lancashire people, and the old 
 man's paradise. It is an acknowledged 
 fact that at this charming" summer re- 
 sort there are more old men and women 
 
 THE PROMENADE 
 
 to the square inch than any other part 
 of the United Kingdom. This is ascribed 
 to two reasons; first the bracing sea air 
 and second the health-giving properties 
 of the pure water supply. 
 
 Morecambe has a normal population 
 of less than 15,000, which is doubled, of 
 course, in the vacation season, although 
 it lays claim to being a sea side resort open 
 the year round. English people need 
 not be told of its numerous attractions, 
 which I may add are double what they 
 were twenty or thirty years back. No 
 longer do you hear the old bell man cry 
 out the sailing of the "Yorkshire Lass" 
 or "Morecambe Queen" — those were of 
 the days beyond recall. Today their 
 places are taken by scores of fishing 
 yachts and hundreds of dories to be 
 used for pleasure sailing or fishing ex- 
 
 peditions. Fishing for fish is not, how- 
 ever, a prolific pastime these clays at 
 Morecambe Bay, because fish is more 
 plentiful at the numerous markets than 
 in the greyish waters of the Bay — and 
 to be obtained at much less expense. 
 Hence it is a common practice to catch 
 your fish with "silver" bait or, in other 
 words, call at the market and get a 
 string of flukes or flounders all hitched 
 to a string to be. taken home to deceive 
 the folks, who are as gullible here as 
 elsewhere. 
 
 A visit to England without a side 
 trip to Morecambe Bay would be like 
 the play of Hamlet with Hamlet left 
 out, and our three days' stop with the 
 old folks has been and will be of the 
 most pleasant memories.

 BRADFORD'S BIG CELEBRATION 
 
 Bradford, July 4th, 191 1. 
 
 Well! we passed the glorious 
 "Fourth" in dear old Bradford, the town 
 o' soot and smoke, fried fish and chip 
 potato shops. The American Consul 
 had the good old stars and stripes flying 
 near the old George Hotel on Market 
 Street which, to a large extent, removed 
 the "cuss" from an otherwise monoton- 
 ous day. 
 
 Bradford is proud of its part in the 
 coronation, and if the truth must be 
 told, no other city outside London did 
 
 designs, produces an effect both daz- 
 zling and unique. Bradford did itself 
 proud at the coronation with nightly 
 band concerts "forinst" the Town Hall, 
 and at Foster Square near the post 
 office, where the Electric Fountain 
 proved a tremendous attraction. 
 
 To give Bradford its due we must say 
 that in observing the King's Coronation 
 it let itself loose and was not surpassed 
 in this respect by any other city in the 
 country, not even excepting the clean 
 little City of Huddersfield which spent 
 thousands on decorations to prove that 
 
 so well by the King and the big show. 
 Bradford is a loyal burgh, and for two 
 weeks after the actual coronation exer- 
 cises the old Town Hall was illuminated 
 each night as you see it in the cut. 
 
 Darley Street was a bower of 
 beauty with improvised archways, 
 beautiful bunting and streamers. Dec- 
 orations here tend to gas and electricity 
 rather than to flags and bunting, al- 
 though they go short on neither. For 
 variegated colors in electric globes, they 
 appear to be way ahead of us, while gas 
 employed for illuminating countless 
 
 it too was loyal to the core. 
 
 Bradford is enjoying fairly good 
 prosperity despite the woolsorters' strike 
 which appears to have no leg to stand 
 on and must soon end. It is the same 
 old Bradford, however, the same church 
 bells with the same dear old SACRED 
 Sundays. 
 
 While in this corner of England it 
 was my pleasure to call on Editor New- 
 bold of the Bradford Observer who, un- 
 der the non-de-plume of "Cogitator," 
 writes such interesting stuff for the col- 
 umns of that well known paper.

 He knew "Rush" was in the vicin- 
 ity, for two days before his visit he 
 printed this : — 
 
 From a copy of "The Lawrence 
 Critic" which he has been good 
 enough to send us, we learn that 
 Walter E. Rushforth's forthcoming 
 visit to his native Bradford is only 
 part of a more important mission. 
 He is to present King George, on 
 behalf of the "United British Socie- 
 ties, of Lawrence, Mass.,"' a mag- 
 nificent illuminated address to- . 
 gether with a gold jeweled badge of 
 the society to which the new King 
 was elected a life member at an en- 
 thusiastic meeting of the delegates 
 held Friday night. His Majesty 
 has been graciously pleased to ex- 
 press, through Mr. Bryce, his will- 
 ingness to accept this tribute of 
 respect. There is further an ac- 
 count of the Friday night meeting, 
 
 from which it appears that the 
 eleven United Societies were repre- 
 sented by thirty-three delegates, 
 who unanimously elected, to make 
 the presentation, "Bro. Walter E. 
 Rushford, Editor of the Lawrence 
 Critic who is to attend the Corona- 
 tion as the representative of a 
 syndicate of newspapers and to 
 gather the material for a book." To 
 the publication of that book, of 
 which we confidently hope Mr. 
 Rushforth will send us a copy, we 
 are looking forward with eager 
 anticipation. 
 
 Bradford is slow but sure. Its in- 
 dustries are on full time and its help 
 fairly well paid. The people appear to 
 be happy and contented with their lot, 
 so what more can one wish. We left 
 Bradford with more or less regret. 
 
 Walter E. Rushforth. 
 
 THE KING'S REPLY 
 
 Crossgates, near Leeds, July 8, 191 1. 
 
 After having "done" England 
 thoroughly as previous letters will tes- 
 tify, we are now awaiting the end of 
 our most pleasurable trip to the Corona- 
 tion and the old world, which comes to 
 a close Tuesday with the sailing of the 
 Franconia from Liverpool to Boston 
 We are enjoying a rest at "Rosedene," 
 my sister's residence, well named indeed 
 for there are not less than 250 rose 
 bushes in full bloom in the front and 
 back gardens of this well appointed and 
 
 commodious residence. As I sit here 
 enjoying the fragrance of the beautiful 
 Yorkshire roses, and penning my last 
 lines before sailing for home, the post- 
 man drops in with a large oblong letter 
 addressed to myself and marked "On 
 His Majesty's Service." 
 It reads as follows : — 
 
 Foreign Office, July 6th, 191 1. 
 Sir:— 
 
 His Majesty's Secretary of State 
 for the Home Department has forward- 
 ed to Secretary Sir Edward Grey the 
 
THE CORONATION OF KING GEORGE V.

 THE KINGS REPLY— Continued 
 
 address to His Majesty the King from 
 the British Societies in Lawrence, 
 Massachusetts, which was left by yoil 
 personally at the Home Office with Sir 
 Edward Troup. 
 
 I am directed by Sir Edward to 
 express the King's regret that his nu- 
 merous engagements preclude His Maj- 
 esty receiving you personally in audi- 
 
 which His Majesty has pleasure in 
 accepting. 
 
 I am sir, 
 Your most obedient humble servant, 
 F. A. CAMPBELL. 
 
 Thus ends the final chapter in the 
 presentation and formal acceptance of 
 that address, and King George is there- 
 fore a life member of the United British 
 Societies of Lawrence, Massachusetts. 
 
 ence for the purpose of its presentation, 
 but I am to state that the address has 
 been laid before the King who has com- 
 manded that his sincere thanks for, and 
 high appreciation of, the address may 
 be expressed to the signatories as well 
 as of the gold badge of life membership, 
 
 It is a great honor for all concerned. 
 Take it from me that His Majesty the 
 King is not to be exploited by any ordin- 
 ary society or organization, hence the 
 "Crown" is very careful in this respect 
 and watches carefully that the Royal 
 prerogatives are jealously guarded and 
 its patronage held sacred.

 THE CORONATION OF RlNG GEORGE V. 
 
 LEEDS AND HUDDERSFIELD 
 
 Leeds, July ioth, 1911. 
 
 Leeds is beyond question the bus- 
 iest city in Yorkshire, and the centre 
 of numerous attractions. It is to its 
 neighbors what Boston is to its sub- 
 urbs — the "Hub" of the Midlands. It 
 boasts some magnificent buildings and 
 rare public parks and playgrounds. 
 
 GREENHEAD PARK, HUDDERSFIELD 
 
 Many people of experience and 
 artistic taste claim that the Leeds Town 
 Hall is the finest, although by no 
 means the largest, municipal structure 
 in the provinces. The building dates 
 from September 7th, 1858, when it was 
 opened by Queen Victoria. It occupies 
 a site of 6,257 square yards, and was 
 designed by an eccentric local genius, 
 the famous Cuthbert Brodrick. Classi- 
 cal in style, it is 250 feet long, 200 feet 
 wide and 67 feet high. The majestic 
 tower — 225 feet high — contains a clock, 
 the striking bell of which, weighs 4 tons 
 1 cwt. Statues of Queen Victoria and 
 the Prince Consort, and of King Ed- 
 ward and Queen Alexandra, adorn the 
 lofty vestibule which leads to Victoria 
 
 Hall, that provides seats for 2,436 peo- 
 ple. The total capital expenditure on 
 the Town Llall up to recently was 
 £136,871, including £7,234 for the 
 organ. The maintenance expenses are 
 just over £3,000 a year. Added to this 
 is between £300 and £400 for interest, 
 and redemption fund charges. On the 
 other hand, between £600 and £700 a 
 year is realized in rents for bazaars, 
 meetings, exhibitions, and other similar 
 purposes. In a word, the Leeds Town 
 Hall now costs the citizens very little 
 more than y 2 d. in the £ on the rates. 
 Truly a prize for the money. 
 
 Roundhay Park is 3% miles distant 
 from Briggate, and covers an area of 
 about 774 acres, of which 372 acres are 
 appropriated for recreative purposes; 
 about 40 acres are water; 61 acres have 
 
 THE LAKE AT ROUNDHAY PARK, LEEDS 
 
 been sold for villa sites : 300 acres are let 
 off to neighboring farmers for grazing 
 purposes, and 40 acres to the War De- 
 partment as a drill and polo ground. 
 The Leeds Golf Club Limited also 
 make use of the park by arrangement 
 with the Corporation, and have a fine 
 pavilion.

 THE KING IN IRELAND 
 
 O 
 
 ULD Ireland proved its loyalty to King 
 George and Queen Mary on Saturday 
 July 8th, in unmistakable terms upon the 
 Royal visit to Ireland. 
 
 Amid scenes of enthusiasm and loyalty the 
 
 COLLEGE GREEN 
 
 King and Queen made their entry into Dublin. 
 The royal party, consisting, besides their 
 
 Majesties, of the Prince of Wales, Princess 
 Mary and the Duke of Connaught, spent the 
 night on board the Victoria and Albert in Kings- 
 town Harbor, and landed at twenty minutes 
 past ten. 
 
 When the royal barge left the side of the 
 royal yacht and made for the wharf there burst 
 forth a rolling volume of cheering, plainly distin- 
 guishable above the roar of the Home Fleet's 
 saluting guns. 
 
 Their Majesties were received by the Lord 
 Lieutenant and the Countess of Aberdeen and 
 other members of a distinguished party who had 
 travelled down from Dublin by special train. 
 
 Following the viceregal welcome came the 
 presentation of an address by the Kingstown 
 Urban District Council, to which the King made 
 the following reply: — 
 
 "I value greatly the hearty and loyal wel- 
 come which, on behalf of the inhabitants of 
 Kingstown, you have given to the Queen and 
 myself."

 THE KING'S "CHAMPION 
 
 ft 
 
 Story of the Crowning of George IV., with Its Ancient 
 
 Glitter and Glory. 
 
 MOST sensible people are agreed that the 
 barbaric splendor— the exhibition of Glitter 
 and Glory (?) that attends a Coronation 
 even in these conservative times is a needless 
 waste of money and a show of paganism which 
 could well be dispersed with. 
 
 The Coronation of King George V. has 
 doubtless cost millions and time only can tell 
 whether the game was worth the candle. It 
 had it's effects, to be sure. It's objects and pur- 
 poses were plainly apparent and as an object les- 
 son to the world, civilized, semi-civilized or bar- 
 baric, that magnificent Military and Naval 
 pageant proved a display of unification and 
 power calculated to impress and inspire. 
 
 The "Gaudiest" Coronation however was 
 that of the fourth George. It was the last of 
 Royal Coronation at which the old custom of 
 the King's champion throwing down the gaunt- 
 let to the World, was observed. 
 
 The Coronation of George IV. has a place 
 by itself in the record of British Coronations on 
 account of more than one peculiar circumstance. 
 To begin with, the Queen was refused admission 
 to the solemnity on the most prosaic and quite 
 British ground that she had no ticket. The 
 Committee of the Privy Council had already 
 decided that "the Queens Consort of this realm 
 are not entitled of right to be crowned at any 
 time"; but when Her Majesty presented herself 
 at the Abbey as an intending spectator it was 
 because she was unable to produce a ticket that 
 the cautious doorkeeper refused her entrance. 
 
 Again it was the most gorgeous and the 
 most costly ceremony of its kind the country had 
 ever known. The bill paid by the State amount- 
 ed to £238,000. An official record of George 
 IV's coronation, projected by the King himself, 
 was never completed because the available money 
 was unequal to the scheme of the work. We 
 are told that the portion of this book which was 
 executed contains 73 colored drawings "finished 
 like enamels on velvet and white satin." The 
 portraits, each of which cost 50 guineas, are said 
 to be "very accurate, and many of the coronets 
 have rubies, pearls and brilliants set in gold." 
 
 The King himself exhibited a lively interest 
 in the preparations for his coronation, and he is 
 said to have dressed one of his servants in the 
 Royal robes in order to see how he should 
 appear in the eyes of his subjects. There was 
 a good deal of advertising through the news- 
 papers, as befitted the design of a spectacle 
 which was intended above all to be popular. 
 For a couple of months before the great day, 
 every new developement in the Royal scheme 
 as it unfolded was reported and commented upon. 
 Nor was the King's Champion wholly idle. 
 The King had sent him a helmet with a plume 
 of twenty-one luxuriant ostrich feathers of red, 
 white and blue; and all the world of fashion 
 assembled at Astley's Amphitheatre every morn- 
 ing to see the Champion take riding lessons. 
 His armonr weighed over 70 lbs, and yet he 
 mounted his charger with very little assistance. 
 He was a "fine young man," reports a lady of 
 the period, "about 5 feet 1 inches in height." 
 
 The Champion sat his horse with ease and 
 the appearance of great firmness, "which was, 
 no doubt, in part, attributable to his enormous 
 weight, under which the noble animal that bore 
 him seemed to bend." Whilst the Champion 
 nervously handled a gauntlet which he brought 
 with him, a herald made the following proclama- 
 tion: — 
 
 If any person of what degree soever, high or low 
 shall deny or gainsay our sovereign lord King 
 George the Fourth, of the United Kingdom of Great 
 Britain and Ireland, Defender of the Faith, son and 
 next heir of our sovereign lord King George III., 
 the last King deceased, to be right heir of the Im- 
 perial Crown of the United Kingdom or that he 
 ought not to enjoy the same, here is his Champion 
 who saith that he lieth and is a false traitor, being 
 ready in person to combat with him, and in this 
 quarrel will adventure his life against him on what 
 day soever shall be appointed. 
 
 The Champion thereupon threw down his 
 guantet, and, none of the guests accepting the 
 challenge, had that restored to him, when he cast 
 it down again and yet again. Nothing happened 
 and the King completed the vain ceremony by 
 drinking to the Champion from a golden cup.

 HOME SWEET HOME. 
 
 '" Mid pleasures and palaces though we may roam, 
 Be it ever so humble— there's no place like home." 
 
 Aboard the S. S. Franconia, 
 
 Homeward Bound. 
 Those who have crossed the Atlan- 
 tic need not be told of the difference in 
 appearance and purpose of a ship load 
 of passengers leaving" Boston and one 
 returning" to Boston. In the first in- 
 stance your fellow passengers are on a 
 voyage perhaps on business or pleasure 
 bent, or both, are brim full of enthus- 
 iasm and joyful anticipation, with 
 pocketbooks that, if not overcrowded, 
 are at least ample. On the return, and 
 
 The Last We Saw of London — Leaving King's Cross 
 Station. 
 
 especially true is this of a "coronation" 
 trip, your fellow passengers are made 
 up largely of new coiners, and trippers 
 returning broke — and if not broke, like 
 the writer, badly bent. Any sailor or 
 traveler will bear testimony to this as- 
 sertion. 
 
 Therefore, coming home things 
 look different, whether you take one 
 drink or twenty. After weeks of pleas- 
 ure and sight-seeing, about the third 
 day from Liverpool you realize that 
 work lies before you. 
 
 Lawrence may be a Cosmopolitan 
 City with twenty-two nationalities 
 
 among its 86,000 inhabitants, but not 
 more so than is the good ship Fran- 
 conia. To walk the deck and observe 
 the complexion of its passengers not 
 only affords amusement, but arouses 
 serious thought. It must be a great and 
 vast country that can shelter and as- 
 similate the thousands of pilgrims who 
 make it their Utopia. The resources of 
 such a country must be immense to en- 
 able it to offer an asylum to the entire 
 world, the only requisites being honesty, 
 and the ability and willingness to work. 
 
 In one corner of the deck you come 
 across a group of young men and wo- 
 men from Lancashire. In another you 
 bear the unmistakable accent of the 
 Yorkshire dialect, and maybe the father 
 and mother have had to scrimp and save 
 to pay the cost of this, the greatest and 
 most momentous epoch of their careers. 
 Individually and collectively they are 
 wondering what the future has in store 
 for them. 
 
 Time alone can answer, but, need- 
 less to add, we wish them all good 
 health, long life and abundant pros- 
 perity. 
 
 Yes. indeed ! there is a totally differ- 
 ent atmosphere returning from than in 
 going to the tight little isle, but it is 
 mighty interesting. The little tots 
 trotting" by their mother's side or scam- 
 pering" hither and thither on the deck 
 may wonder, but they do not yet know 
 what it all means, and it's well they 
 don't for it would have interfered with 
 their enjoyment. 
 
 The Franconia, which left Liver- 
 pool Tuesday, July nth, has thus far 
 encountered fair winds and fine weather.

 brilliant staff of whom Chief Steward 
 Sleigh, Purser Moore and Head Stew- 
 ard Dory of the second cabin deserve 
 especial mention. 
 
 The Franconia carried, all told, 
 1480 passengers, 1S0 first, 500 second 
 and 800 third. All of them had little 
 else to do but lounge about, eat, drink 
 and make merry, and it was funny to 
 look around after the dinner gong was 
 sounded to see them scamper towards 
 the dining room, like a lot of chickens 
 "flocking" when the farmer's wife 
 comes around with the corn. I have not 
 figured out just what stuff we got away 
 with, suffice it to say that 98 per cent, 
 of the souls aboard all had appetites 
 
 leaning over the side. Approaching one 
 such the Doctor said "Sick my man?" — 
 Answer: "Oh no! — Just watching that 
 the fishes don't bite the boat." 
 
 Many of our passengers were 
 aboard the Ivernia when she struck 
 Daunts rock, but all speak commendably 
 of the prompt care and assistance given 
 them. There wasn't the semblance of a 
 panic, which speaks volumes for the dis- 
 cipline maintained on the ship of the 
 Cunard line. 
 
 Sunday Services were well attended 
 and a good priest from County Armagh 
 saw to the spiritual welfare of the pas- 
 sengers of Catholic faith. 
 
 We are now nearing Boston light 
 after a most pleasing concert given last 
 
 equal to the weather conditions, which 
 were fine and large. 
 
 Among the noted passengers 
 were the famous Mosher Brothers trick 
 bicyclists, who played last year at the 
 Colonial, Mr. William Lapworth, a 
 prosperous manufacturer of Hopedale, 
 who was completing his thirteenth 
 round trip to old Albion, and the world 
 renowned Miramba Band. 
 
 Friday the ship pitched slightly; 
 Result some sea sickness with many 
 
 night at which the writer was chairman. 
 Approaching- our destination one's 
 thoughts are centered upon a resump- 
 tion of business.

 O the subscribers and readers of this little book — 
 
 a feeble attempt to illustrate and describe the 
 
 great Coronation scene and ceremonies at 
 
 London, England, in June last, the Author 
 
 II II tenders his sincere thanks. To the patrons 
 
 and business men who have helped make this 
 
 publication possible is due much credit, and I would 
 
 respectfully recommend my readers to look over the 
 
 announcements of our progressive advertisers. 
 
 In this, as in my other publications, I have endea- 
 vored not to exaggerate, but to present facts in plain, 
 unvarnished language. The work from cover to cover 
 has been printed at the Critic office, Saunders Block, 
 and I feel satisfied, upon a perusal of this book, the reader 
 will admit the Critic plant is splendidly equipped. 
 
 Before closing, it is only just to express admiration 
 for the courtesies extended by Manager Stewart of the 
 Cunard Steamship Company of Boston, likewise their 
 agents at Liverpool, who saw to it that the Critic Editor 
 and his party were accorded all the comforts which make 
 an ocean voyage as pleasant as possible under adverse or 
 pleasant weather conditions.

 Operating Two Stores in Two of NEW ENGLAND'S BEST CITIES enables me to give to the purchasing 
 public a much better value than the average Jeweler, who only has one store. My purchasing power being 
 greater, brings me in contact with the manufacturers, and by so doing I buy direct and can save the Jobber s 
 Profit. Hence your purchases made at my Two Establishments mean money to you, as my prices are conceded 
 to be the Lowest in New England.

 (New England Aviation Company) 
 
 Capital $1, 000,000 Par Value $100 per share 
 
 FEDERAL TRUST CO., Transfer Agents. LIBERTY TRUST CO., Registrars 
 
 This Company controls and operates Rockingham Park, established in Salem, N. H., in 1906 by 
 the late John W. Gates. The property which cost $ ] ,000,000 completed, saw less than a week 
 of activity because of restrictions as to pool selling imposed by the New Hampshire Legislature. 
 
 This Park contains 400 acres, adjoins the Boston & Maine R. R. station at Salem, just across 
 the Massachusetts line, is 34 miles from Boston, 4 miles from Lawrence, 10 miles from Lowell, 
 Haverhill, Nashua and Portsmouth, and 20 miles from Manchester. Two enormous steel grand- 
 stands, unequalled anywhere in New England, have a seating capacity of 1 5,000 people. Two 
 beautiful and modern clubhouses. 25 large stables with all the accessories. 
 
 No aerodrome in the country can begin to compare in its facilities or accessibility or conveni- 
 ence with Rockingham Park. 
 
 EARNINGS OF THE PROPERTY 
 
 To recapitulate, we have in one piece of property the equipment necessary for model institutions as follows : A 
 Country Club : a New England Horse Show and Fair ; an International Aviation Meet; a Horse Racing Meet; 
 an Automobile Racing Meet; Baseball and Football Games, and other Athletic and Winter Sports. 
 
 (When the Olympic Games are awarded to New England it will be found that no 
 other park so convenient for the contestants and spectators is to be found. There is 
 seating room for 200,000 persons, each to have a clear view of the finish line of the 
 race tracks.) 
 
 We do not wish to be extravagant in our ideas as to the earnings of this property, but when we consider what the 
 Rochester Fair has paid in the way of dividends, that property starting with a capital of $70 ; what the Brockton 
 Fair has done for its stockholders, and what other smaller fairs have earned, we believe that our enormous property 
 with its many interests, can assuredly return a very handsome dividend to the stockholders. 
 
 The Park was opened for the first time under the present management Columbus Day, October 
 12. 1 9 1 1 , for an aviation meet. Owing to the uncertainty of getting aviators no announcements 
 were made until Saturday, October 7, and with only four days notice over 30,000 people attended, 
 coming frcm Boston and surrounding cities. 
 
 Detailed information regarding the Neiv England Aviation Company, photographs of 
 the chief points of interest and permits to visit the great park may be obtained from

 SALISBURY BEACH has the Cleanest Water and Most Beautiful Surf on the 
 Atlantic Coast. Its clean sand and absence from sea weed is remarkable. It has 
 a firm sandy stretch of four miles, and the new owners are extending a granolithic 
 walk eight and one-half feet wide along the Beach front. 
 
 Salisbury Beach is thirty miles from Boston, on the Boston and Maine 
 Railroad. Within easy reach of the Beach is a population of 500,000 people. It is 
 reached by trolley from Newburyport, Haverhill, Lawrence and Lowell, Massachusetts, 
 and Nashua, Portsmouth, Manchester and Exeter, New Hampshire, and the surrounding 
 towns. 
 
 Along the Beach, Salisbury Beach, Mass.

 EXTENSIVE improvements are planned for the Beach, and it is on the eve of a big 
 boom. For the first time in the history of the Beach, the new owners are offering 
 to sell choice locations by warranty deeds. The entire Beach is plotted into cottage 
 lots, with Suitable Restrictions, Good Sewerage, Gas, Electric Light and Water. Thirty- 
 five cities and towns are already represented at the Beach. Choice locations can be 
 secured from Two Hundred Dollars upwards.
